They're waiting for you, Gordon.

KITTY! Cute one, too!

"They're waiting for you, Gordon. "

And here I was expecting a reference to a certain crowbar-wielding scientist.

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

Lmao, those deflections are priceless. Can't wait to see what you come up with next time!

Apparently, Jim only owns approximately one Yellow Page.

All though I have laughed plenty of times at your posts and various other posts by funny capable posters, this is the first time I forgot to NOT have coffee in the mouth when reading and, much to my dismay, now have to clean off my desk, monitor, and key board. And it had to be the sticky, vanilla beany type coffee. Nice!

OOOoooo....answer like you run Ghostbusters!

No, no...wait...answer and speak only in Klingon. That is, if you know Klingon. I don't...it's just a suggestion.

If you go back a few weeks in GK posts, you'll find that the woman evidently has her very own team of social services/mental health professionals...

I don't think GK's in danger of her reporting him to his superiors...

Question, GK: Now that you're pretty sure she isn't going to hunt you down and can be counted on to only annoy you until she is bored of you (if her psych team is to be trusted), do you find it a creative outlet or derive any entertainment value from getting rid of her?

It was there. One of the "Fine Art of Deflection"s had him saying that Dr. Freeman is having trouble in the test chamber. I can't think of any other reference that could be.

Thank you! That's my boy cat, Darwinius Steele Stephenson aka Darwin. He's my baby. And he's solid. When he sits on you, he really sits on you.

The Fine Art of Deflection

Me: “Good evening, <client>.
FG: “HELLO GRAVEKEEPER?!”
Me: “Oh! I’m sorry, you know what? It’s quarter after one which means of course that it’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time. So I’ll have to put you on hold.”
Coworker: ".....hah....ahhahahahahah"
Me: "What? It is."

That is classic. I loves it! Peanut Butter with a baseball bat!!!

Patience is a Virtue

Me: “Ok, I’ll have to have the local guy contact you during business hours.”
SC: “Ok, I’ll wait.”
Me: “Pardon?”
SC: “………”
Me: “…….hello?”
SC: “………”

...Wow, I'd hate to know what time it was during that call. I'd hate to know just how long he was willing to wait....

.........Ok I'll bite just how long till business hours? How long would he have waited?

The Path

SC: “One is our line for customer orders, the other is for the office here.”

Right….young padawan. Listen for a moment. My years and wisdom are vast and much beyond your own. Though, in all fairness, so are those of a fridge magnet. Never the less, let me pose to you a question. One that will guide you down the path towards enlighten should you overcome it: Do you want a tech to call back and fix your system or do you want a tech to call back and order take out?

Think carefully, child. If you can overcome this dilemma, the wisdom will be yours.

Oh oh! I know this one!! Um.......is it....cheese?! It's always the answer after all!

Me: “Good evening, <client>”
FG: “HELLO, GRAVEKEEPER!@?#”
Me: “Can’t talk, the British are coming.”

Well considering I live in the great South, where a rather large militia can be raised at any moment. I think I'm good. Let them come.

Me: “Good evening, <client>”
FG: “HELLO@?#”
Me: "Oh, I'm sorry. It seems Dr Freeman has had an accident in the test chamber and I really must go."

Oh, dear.

I know I know this reference......it's......OH! I DO KNOW!! Half-Life FTW!!

The Fine Art of Deflection 5

Me: “Good evening, <client>”
FG: “HELLO, GRAVEKEEPER@?#”
Me: “If I throw a stick, will you leave?"

It’s worth a shot. Perhaps if I carved my name in it first?

*Crosses fingers* Here's hoping!

The Fine Art of Deflection 6


Me: “Good evening, <client>”
FG: “RAWRRABBLEAPFJLDGRAVEKEEPER!?”
Me: “Ok, look. Gravekeeper doesn’t work here anymore. He left this office specifically because you would not stop calling.”
FG: “GWARASDL!?”
Me: “He’s probably half way to Mexico by now and I for one, do not blame him.”
SC: “:AHSDASJLHD$!@ <click>”

Damn!

Maybe this time...

Jesus Christ, it's All TRUE

Damn, well it does explain a lot...

Conviction

SC: “Ok, I spoke to your tech earlier and we got the network back up.”
Me: “Alright.”
SC: “But now I can’t log in. I’m guessing it’s because I’m incredibly inept.”
Me: “………”
SC: “There might be something wrong with the system. But I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m inept.”

And now they're confessing! Damn, they're getting smarter....I'm not sure if that's a good thing, or a bad thing...

Halp?

This caller was calling from the deep, deep south. In what I can only call serious Freedom Fry country.

I'd like to apologize for the actions of my fellow southerns. I promise we're not all like that. Though a lot of them are.........

Well, now I know why it sounded familiar and plagued me, even if I never played that particular game!

My older brother and his friends LOVED Shadowrun...so much so, they'd imitate said dancing guy and chase me and my sister around because THEY thought it was fun, screaming about weasels.

Bastards.

Note to self: Smack brother next time you see him...

You have such evil siblings.....

Yes. Rule #1 is simply "don't drink while reading CS."

-or eat. Actually you shouldn't consume anything while reading CS. The resluts are...unpredictable.

Funny...I always thought a group of weasels was called CONGRESS.

So did I!

Um, no. It's just the way I'm sat.

Rapscallion

My gods, I'm so glad I follow Rule #1 so closely when reading a GK thread....

Oh, well, false alarm than. It's ok everybody! Put the tea down.

But I love the tea!!!!!

[Calud]

resluts are...unpredictable.

That, however, is always true.

[Gravekeeper]

.........Ok I'll bite just how long till business hours? How long would he have waited?

Honestly? Hrm....about 52 hours. They're not open weekends. -.-

[SG15Z]

Nice one!

Wow....he was in for the long haul....

[lupo pazzesco]

I know. But it's not like I just sit there and take it. I give as good as I get. Sometimes better. Remind me to tell you the story of how I broke my wrist, if I haven't already. I may have needed a cast but my brother was in SO much more pain for so much longer. totally worth it...

Hm, Idk. You've told me many injury stories....I don't think I've heard one about you breaking your wrist. I'll try remember to ask you about it on game night.

Ragdoll?

We've got a raggie mix who looks a bit like that, if I'm seeing right...got any bigger pics? She's little and cobby, but quite solid also.

Well officially Darwin is a long haired brown and white tabby (where the white is, I'm not sure ... but that's what the pound called him).

Not sure about the Ragdoll classification. Every person who has seen him (including the vet) think he has some Maine Coon in him. He's just gorgeous in person! I'll have to find a bigger picture.
