Close Encounters of the Dope Kind

Hedra and I once discovered we worked for the same company, albeit different buildings, when we exchanged e-mails for some reason about something we were discussing on the Dope (UUism I think) and she noticed the domain was the same as hers. We had lunch a couple of weeks later, and she was the first Doper I ever met. :smiley:

That’s because my real job is shining shoes.

that explains why the last time I dropped a euro beside you inthe pub you started telling me the skinny on Jimmy the Snake’s run in with the Downtown mob?

Shhh, Jimmy’s on the lam now 'coz Honest Ron put the frighteners on him after the diamond job went pear shaped. Word is it’s all going to come to a head in the old banana warehouse down the docks next Tuesday. Do you want me to buff them now?

I was at our senoir management meeting in Atlanta last year, it was July or August.

I get up to give my presentation on the joys of accounting and auditing standards (yaaawn) and what is on the podium but a print out of a SDMB classics column by Cecil Adams. It was about what the words to American Pie were about.

I freaked out. Holy crap, someone at our corporate office was about three clicks away from discovering what they really pay me to do. :smiley:

A couple of years ago, my mother was talking to me about some scam email that was forwarded to her from a well-meaning but none-too-swift friend. I was about to explain it all to her when she pulled out a folder and showed me the debunking she’d found on line - one of Unca Cecil’s columns!! I resisted the urge to tell her about these boards. She probably wouldn’t have bothered, but I don’t need to self-censor… like I indulge in TMI here…

That’s correct. “Fuck.” Not “blowjob.”

Heck, I’ll give her 135 bucks to get herself some Cusb bleacher tickets and stop yakking about how expensive they are. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey! Ouch! I’m just kidding!

You should’ve just written “SDMB- Jane D’oh!” on it, without letting him/her see you or saying anything.

OH MY GOD. You posted this from WORK! I’m telling!
