Distribute a memo with multiple grammar problems; see who returns it corrected. OR send an email filled with internet glurge and see who sends you a link to Snopes.

Well, obviously all you need to do is get a small model plane, and place it on a small model treadmill on your desk. If that doesn’t do it, nothing will.

Have you considered getting yourself a small stuffed goat for your desk, and putting a “Welcome” banner on it? Or, less doable, a small aquarium with a squid in it. With the “Welcome” banner.

Stand in a corner and mumble “Hi Opal” over and over and over again just loud enough to be heard.

You’ll either be carted off to join Britney or someone will shoot you with a 1920s Style Death Ray

[Britney](http://www.studentsoftheworld.info/sites/tv/img/1281_15_0901_britney_spears_c.jpg) or [Britney](http://www.killsometime.com/Pictures/images/Pic1287.jpg)? If it’s the first, then I’m fine with that.

Start posting threads in MPSIMS related to your increasing sense of mental unbalance and sexual passion - and your need to stand naked in the office or cubicle of anyone NOT wearing , say, a Mickey Mouse hat - and ravish them. :eek:

I suspect that your Doper colleague will become obvious - either by wearing the hat immediately and always, or stopping by to point out that they are NOT wearing a hat and ready for a big dose of naked **LOUNE** …

I should do this since I work for the FAA. I’m sure I’d get lots of stupid looks, and stupid questions.

I can hardly believe it myself! Just make sure there’s a roll on the dispenser, or someone might use this thread as, well… you know.

Send an office email asking everyone what “14 k of g in a f p d” stands for and that you’ll have the answer soon. Your doper friend will quickly reveal him/her self and stab you.

Would that be the first _cite-able_ case of someone being killed because of a SDMB post?

Let’s see…SDMB.

Slowly Drinking My Beer? No, I don’t drink.

Shitting Diamonds Making Babies? No, that’s just too odd, even for me.

Showing Dick Morning Brunch? Eh, it’s the workplace…

Smearing Dead Monkey Brains? But…smearing them on what?? I need anther initial!

Smashing Dreams Mating in Bed? I’m obviously running out of ideas.
