Let’s stop the shitstorm. I decree that after my post, everyone will post as if this isn’t a zombie thread. Ready…and…go!

OK but please don’t hate me for having a jar of THISon my desk.

I used to have an M&M dispenser that I kept on my desk for my coworkers kids when they visited. Funny thing was, kids must have been there a lot on weekends because between Friday and Monday it got much lighter.

Reminds me of a coworker I sat next to for a very brief moment. There was something about her perfume that was really getting to me. Headaches, burning in my lungs, etc. I asked her to stop and she got pissy about it.

So several times a day for the next couple of days until I got moved, I would smilingly ask her about what potential allergies she had.

“Cats? Are you allergic to cats? I could bring in some hair from mine…”

Just wanted to applaud the getting-back-on-topic, AND the brilliant tactic. I got deputized to complain to a coworker about her industrial-strength “perfume”.

(It was patchoulli oil*. Didn’t that get ruled a biohazard after Woodstock?)

I mentioned to her politely that I was having an allergic reaction…and did she think she could use a little less… abruptly, she stood up without a word, picked up a few items and stormed off to another wing of the building. She’s never acknowledged my presence since. But every once in a while, someone I don’t even know will stop by my cube and say “Y’know, now the whole Media Wing smells like patchoulli…”

How entirely appropriate.

Yes, I am a sock of Guin’s, quietly biding my time for the last eight years just waiting for an opportunity to strike. I even wrote and published ten books under an assumed name and linked to them in Cafe Society to keep up the ruse. More painstakingly, I created a second sock and became one of the most famous/infamous posters on the board for a decade before getting banned, and pretended to be related to that sock, just to keep up the guise of real personhood with an elaborate back story. It was a lot of work, but worth it just to post in this thread as someone other than Guin.

Now I’m busted. Damn, you’re a good detective.

Damn, and you’re doing it over at the GB, too!!

“Good Afternoon, Mr. Danger. My name is Rocky Rococo.”

Thanks, half-pint. You’ve saved me a lot of investigative work…

After 40 years I can still recite the entire thing. (Remember my wife’s friends’ names? No… but I’ve still got “Come in out of the cornstarch and dry your mukluks by the cellophane” burned into my brain like a mid-80s ATM with a CRT).
