Bumcork & The Illuminator

[Gravekeeper]

Anyone else suddenly flashback to the Mitch Hedberg line, "I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

I was waiting to see if someone would catch that. Cookie for you.

[Calud]

Mitch ftw. May he be good, where ever he is now.

Really funny man.

[Kogarashi]

I also have a friend who can say "I am a pineapple" in several languages... I'm now wondering if this is the same friend.... Female, blond hair blue eyes, lived in CA, then Mass, now back in CA?

Nope. My friend had dark hair and went to high school in upstate NY. Don't know where she is now, though.

That was just me trying to be funny.

Ah, mm'kay.

I wanted to throttle the America West employee in the background. She kept talking to them and they kept telling her to talk to me about it. Yet at the same time whenever I asked her something to ask them ( Such as the 3 letter code for the airport they WORK AT ) they had nfi.

I mean if you work at an international airport......wouldn't you know 3 letter code for it? I know the codes for every airport I've flown out of or into and they don't even pay me. ;p

*blink* Aren't all the America West counters gone now, replaced by USAir? Im dying to know where this was.

And the agents didn't know their own three letter code? I was taught those the first day of travel school, 20+ years ago.

No matter, they were probably foisting her upon you because she was a raging assbeast.

[Munkie]

i only know the code for my airport because I had to fly out over a year ago... basement staff has no need to know the airport code lol

then again, when you're planning a trip to orlando, it helps

Bumcork.

Sweet Moves Man.



The comic nerd in me could not help but think of the DC Comics team Section 8:

- Sixpack: fighing evil with the mighty powers of super-drunkenness
- Dogwelder: masked vigilante who welds dogs to the face of crime (yes, literally)
- Senior Bueno: using the mighty powers of... well, "back door love" (and not to fight crime, apparantly... one of his 'conquests' was Green Lantern Kyle Rayner)
- The Defenstrator, Jean de Baton-Baton, Friendly Fire, Flemgem, Shakes...



Of course, GK's super-powers are closer to that of Sarcastro (appeared in the animated series "The Tick")...

"I fight evil using the awesome power of sarcasm..."

We must get this Bertha together with Tim Kooshem.

Oh, puh-leeze no! They might have children and start off Idiocracy!

Sixpack: fighing evil with the mighty powers of super-drunkenness

Okay, I admit it....you have unmasked my secret identity!


As for the three letter codes for airports, I have never worked in the air travel industry, and yet, off the top of my head, I can whip off the following airport codes:

ATL: Atlanta
PHX: Phoenix
EYW: Key West
MIA: Miami
FLL: Ft. Lauderdale
LAX: Los Angeles
SFO: San Francisco
SEA: Seattle-Tacoma
EWR: Newark

I am but a tiny, barren, insignificant rock caught in the glorious orbit of your shining sun.

My god that is classic, may I use it as a sig.

[Oberonsshadow]

Nope. My friend had dark hair and went to high school in upstate NY. Don't know where she is now, though.

Well, I was trying to decide what would be odder, you and I both knowing the same person, and consequently, knowing each other... or there being multiple people in the world who have decided that the phrase,"I am a pineapple" was something worth knowing in multiple languages...


I think this is odder...

[Gravekeeper]

Feel free. It would merely be another notch in my ongoing campaign to conquer the board one signature at time ;p

You know, I'd finally gotten the d@mn Narwhal song out of my head, where it had been firmly lodged for the past 5-7 days. And then I had to read your post, and I couldn't resist clicking that link....and now it's stuck again.

I'm going to start singing it to my cubemates, and I shall tell them to thank you.

For your next encounter with The German, try "Du Bist Ein Auschloch".


It means "You're an asshole".

Well, how do I put this... no.... just no.

The correct spelling is Arsch (ass) Loch (hole).

Arsch, is spelled exactly like "harsh", but without the h sound.

Also, why do I suddenly teach vulgarities? ^^

I should teach you stuff like:

"Kann ich Ihren Hintern begrabschen?"
Then tell you it means:
"Can I take your apples?"
When instead it means:
"Can I touch your butt?"

Always wanted to try something similiar.

I never claimed my German was worth a shit.

Thanks for the clarity.
