Don't forget to sacrifice a virginal pink camo trucker's cap....

[OfficeSlug]

Oh come on, I'm pitching them low and slow here.

I gotta use that some day! It's so condenscending!

[Buglady]

Excuse me while I prostrate myself beneath my desk in worship of him. I must do so every hour on the hour while facing the closest Tim Horton's and reciting last night's CBC Fashion File.

Going for the extra Can-con points, eh? There might be some funding to be had...

(Heck, you're a LOT funnier than "Robson Arms"!)

Gravekeeper -

You ever consider a job in standup? Though....if you quit this job, you may lose some of your material.


Nah.... stupid people are everywhere. Now if only we could find that pesky part of the genome that causes it and eliminate it.

But seriously - I think you'd be a great stand-up comedian.

[RebeccaOTool]

Your stuff always makes me LOL.

I'm waaaaay to shy to do that. ><

No, no, no. 42 is The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything, not The Meaning of Life. There's subtle differences. Oh, and in case you're wondering what The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything actually IS, it is as follows, with this exact phrasing*:
What do you get when you multiply six by nine?

But 6 times 9 is 54. 6 times 7 would be 42.

[Dragonlover]

Precisely.

Dragonlover

P.S- Read Hitchikers, it will make more sense then.

You know Ford.........I always knew there was something fundamentally wrong with the universe...........*cue the best theme music*

There was a horrible hillbilly man that I used to have to deal with back when I dealt with the public face to face. He (for no reason at all) once began telling me the names and ages of his children. However, when he got to his only daughter he drew a blank, looked at his wife and said "Oh shoot, what's her name again?"

She was 14 by that time. He had lived with her for 14 years.

That's not as rare as you think.

I was at a party once with my then husband. I was introducing myself and I said the to the other guest, "and this is my husband.....um...err...." I drew a total blank.

I couldn't believe I actually forgot his name. The guest thought it was a joke and laughed and shook my ex's hand and ex-hubby told the guy his name. When we were alone, he got all stroppy at me for making fun of him. But I swear I went completely blank and couldn't for the life of me remember his name.

I did that to my coworker Christine as well. We work very well together and are good work buddies but I forgot her name when mentioning her to a group of people recently. But I called her "this lovely lady I work with" and then thankfully remembered her name in the next sentence.

I've blanked out on co-workers' names before. And that's doubly bad because I used to answer the phones, and I am still the keeper of the company file that has all the names, birthdates, and contact numbers as well as the extension list.

And, no, Gravekeeper ought to start up a reality podcast. He could have his own room, and people could opt out of possibly getting his line. (but we know SCs don't listen, so he'd still get all of them anyway)
