You are Hecubus! I knew it! Evil! Evil after all
this time! You are imminently evil! Your life
is consumed by doing evil deeds like blocking
your Master's car in the driveway or showing up
drunk to the taping of your EVIL show. You
don't have many friends, in fact you only have
two, Simon-who is really more of your Master,
and Mr.Vodka! Deep down you may seem like a
nice person...no, nevermind you are evil to the
core. Now, repeat after me, Owa tana siam!

Hecubus lost 17-16 going over-time. A couple quotes from the game include:

"Why do you guys have to be such bitches?"
"Worst spirit ever!"
"That was the worst game ever."

On the plus side, I got to touch the disk this week.

I figure no one's posted hot chicks on the board for a while so
here we go again...

I give you amy smart

SWEETEST GUITAR EVER!!!!

I feel okay, Al, and I was eating your dessert, so I don't think it's
food poisoning. But if I get sick I'm coming after you with a pitchfork.

So Mischief (broken legs horse) is already bored. Only 5 weeks and 6 more
days to go! At least he's not mean like Charlie (non-broken legs horse).

uh, when anything doesn't make sense, a wizard did it.

They're relaxing...

Hey, Pete, remember the whole Haggard relation discussion? Just one question:

um, Paras, why are there people throwing people, and people swinging ropes in the black beyond your green board spaces? it's kinda creepy, and made me wonder if I was imagining it, or if it was for real.

Did anyone else feel shitty after Chilli's last night? I think I got food poisoning, or else Jess was sick and shared it... but I'm going home now. so much for work today. All these flickering lights... I hate fluorescents, even if they are more energy saving... and the computer screens too... it's all making me dizzy.

See y'all later. Hope no one else got this...

If I had $610 Million to spare... I don't think I'd bother buying a company. That could last me just fine.

PRESS RELEASE


Veolia Environnement announces sale of Culligan for $610 million

North American disposal program announced in September 2003
completed totaling $1.9 billion


Paris, July 22nd, 2004
Veolia Environnement (Euronext: VIE and NYSE: VE), announces today it has entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its Culligan business to private equity firm Clayton Dubilier & Rice, for total consideration of $610 million in cash. The transaction, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2004, is subject only to applicable regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

The sale represents the final step in the implementation of the strategic refocusing of Veolia Environnement’s water operations in North America, which was originally announced in September 2003. The disposal of Culligan (following the sale of Everpure in late 2003 to Pentair, the sale of farmlands held by USFilter in California in the first half of 2004, and the sale USFilter’s systems and services businesses to Siemens announced in the first half of 2004) reflects Veolia Environnement’s strategy to focus its development on outsourcing services and long-term contracts for both municipalities and industrial companies. The total proceeds generated from these sales, including $215 million for the disposal of Everpure that was completed in 2003, amount to approximately $1.9 billion.

Veolia Environnement will remain an important player in environmental services in North America. It currently anticipates that it may generate 2004 revenue in North America of approximately $2.5 billion after those disposals, including approximately $1.4 billion in Waste Management, $0.7 billion in Water and $0.4 billion in Transportation.

Veolia Environnement (Paris Euronext: VIE et NYSE: VE), is the leading provider of environmental services to municipalities and industrial companies worldwide. The company has global operations in four core business areas: Water, Waste, Energy Services and Transportation. In 2003, Veolia Environnement generated consolidated revenue of 28.6 billion euros ($36.1 billion). Visit the company's web site at www.veoliaenvironnement-finance.com.
