I thought Taco Bell’s Cannon is what happens when you eat too many spicy burritos . . .
taxi I’ve often felt this song should be a wedding standard.
Hope I’ve been of help.
I made many many copies today. I hate copies. I also hate the copier, which is evil. I call it Beelzebub.
Mike, the IT guy, was helping me clear a severe paper jam. I had gotten out three pieces of paper but couldn’t find the fourth one that the copier’s display screen indicated. So Mike helped me dig for it. He sat down on the floor to poke around in Beelzebub’s innards. I leaned down to see if I could spy the jamming piece of paper–and flashed him.
Why did I wear that shirt to work? And more importantly, why can’t I ever flash my girls at single guys, where it might do some good?
Ah, well. At least Mike seemed more embarrassed than I.
Swampy, I like the way you think. If my mom ever convinces that no-good remora she’s shacked up with (Hi, Bob! N.O.B.) to marry her (HA! Why buy the cow when the milk, and the rent, and the boat, and the trucks, and the Audi, and the 52" TV with surround sound, etc. are free?), that should definitely be on the play list. As to which one it should be dedicated to, that’s their call. Luckily, I won’t be invited to any wedding of theirs that may or may not occur, so I won’t need to bribe the DJ to play it. A little ditty about a sugar mama would be appropriate, too.
On another note, good Og, y’all! Don’t any of you need to work or eat or something? This is why people are frightened of the MMP! 
do you think we can make it to 7 pages by midnight?
anyrose, sure, why not? Heck, why not go for eight! I’ll help.
Does anybody want some slightly used plastic bags with my company’s logo on them? I don’t know why I’m saving them, no one is going to re-use them. I should just toss them but that seems so wasteful somehow. I am keeping the pens and the business card cases, which are quite nice. Ok, I’m not keeping them, I’m tossing them in the “do we have anything branded we can [del]inflict on[/del] give to the client” office junk drawer. There are nice leather portfolios, pens varying from Bic to Cross, T-shirts (in XL only) and assorted leftover oddments I’ve collected over the years. Some of them have the old logo and still others, the old, old logo. We change logos, and names, like other companies change CEOs. What’s with the we stuff, anyway? Must. Stop. Must. Unassimilate. Unbrand. Detach. Hey, there’s a real word in there!
It’s amazing how much crap accumulates over the years: pens, mugs, manuals for extinct software and hardware, old assignment lists, little bits of plastic (huh, I think that belonged to the old fax machine), files belonging to people who’ve been gone for years. There is a drawer of files that belonged to people long-gone, for clients that no longer exist, as in they went bye-bye, bankrupt, got de-listed, dis-incorporated, did the march of the damned on live television or all of the above. I’m going to leave that drawer alone, so they can moulder in peace.
Citygirl, I remember when that story came out about the golf outing. Sounds like a stu[id scary guy, that some stupid suburban town gave a badge. BIG surprise it was Melrose Park. :rolleyes:
I’m with swampy, I think I’m gonna hate today too. Just so I can have a beer.
Hey, who else here regularly falls deeply in lust? Yeah, I’m down to about 4 times a day now, so I’m improving.
Today was at the mall. The girl manning one of those little kiosks, I think it was body jewelry or something like that. Tall-ish, blonde, wearing those tight, falling-off-her-hip black stretch pants that show you her belly, which no, was not perfectly flat - but that was actually part of the appeal, I think. Just the brightest blue eyes and a really pretty smile. ::deep sigh::
Ok, now she was probably all of 22 or so, but this is lust we’re talking, not lasting commitment, alright? So back off.
Hell, by the time we hit page 7 here, I’ll probably forget all about her…
I’m just doin’ my part to make this 7 pages by midnight!
Drae, darling, I did not know you smoked. Color me shocked.
:):):):):):)How happy am I? Reefer Madness, the Musical is finally available on DVD!!!
Sean, word from my wife is that we made a real mess with the pressure washer. All that crap that went out the back of the shed just sat there on the ground stinkig to high heaven, and the DirecTV wound up putting the dish right over it.
Teehee and peeeeyuuuuu!
I’m going clothes shopping! I’ll share more tonight, if I’m successful.
Grr. Mr. Lissar’s boss sort of threatened to fire him for taking two sick days. Now, he’s only been working for the building management for a couple of months, but reacting that badly to staff taking any sick time off is ridiculous. We got him a fast appointment at our clinic, and he has a doctor’s note and everything. On Thursday, when he goes back in, and he has the scheduled little ‘talk’ with his boss he’s going to try to politely find out if they’d like him to come in when he’s non-functional, feverish, and can’t talk.
If the answer is yes I hope he contracts Norwalk and vomits directly on his boss.
Stupid.
Aside from that my day has been fine.
Tonight was a pottery night - I trimmed the 9 pieces I threw on Sunday, and put handles on the 3 mugs that FCD wants to decorate. I did some decorative stuff on some of the pieces and left others alone. I made a small oil lamp that I thought was rather attractive. Someone in this household remarked that it looks like a butt plug. :eek:
Everyone’s a critic. I swear.
And now, I’m off to shower and hit the rack. Please don’t let this turn into a post padding thread - I don’t want it shut down. I’d be traumatized. Probably require years of expensive therapy. And tons of chocolate. And we wouldn’t want that, now, would we? So make your posts substantive. Like this one.
I have spoken. Don’t make me bring out The Look[sup]TM[/sup]! :mad:
Just be sure to keep it out of the Keep Your Goddamn Anal Beads Out Of The Dishwasher! - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board !
Oh bugger! That’s supposed to read:
Just be sure to keep it out of the dishwasher!
Eeeeeek!!! It is now way past my bedtime, but I compulsively read through the entire 4 gazillion pages of the MMP that have accumulated since yesterday and have nothing to say except:
- thanks in advance for the fudge, and
- shouldn’t your ear have stopped hurting by now? I let go of it yesterday.
Oh…and fun pics. Maybe I’ll get my act together tomorrow and post some.
Now I’m sleepy, so…g’night.

Evening all! First off, I have no clue what day it is. I was thinking today is the 25th. not quite. I think I really need that vacation. It’s a bitterly cold 76 right now.
swampy, MBG, bumba, I think I’ll join you for that beer.
SCL, we never seem to keep our goalies. Of course that’s usually because the backup guy has a career season if he gets in the net, and who can afford 2 #1 goalies?
FCM, that boat has " 3 hour tour" written all over it. And how would “someone” know what a buttplug is? :dubious:
Tel, are you hiring?
Jahdra, That’s what I loved about working in a drug store. The pharmacists always had cool gear they would give you.
Off to bed, I have to go in at 6a.m. tommorow.

All I have to say today is that it’s 48F, blowing 50 mph, and will continue to do so until at least tomorrow night. Oh, and we had an island wide power outtage today, which knocked out cable tv and the internet.
I’m very cranky. The rain is blowing sideways. Blah. It’s gotta get better, right?
But, of course; it must. The weather will even out again so that those of us who are in way-too-hot-land will experience tolerable temperatures and you’ll have electricity and something that reminds the rest of us a little less of winter. Have you considered searching out one of those cute new kitties? Bet that would cheer you up.
I’m up and semi-awake at an unnatural hour. (I’ve been awake since sometime before 6.) Feels like it should be Thursday at least, probably because I’ve made it through 2 days that were non-stop, wall-to-wall stuff (mostly working meetings - at least we got stuff done).
But the weather was wonderfully cool last night. A front moved through around 5, it rained and the temperature went down into the 70s. Alas, it’s supposed to hit 90 again today. But they’re saying the weekend might be pleasant. (Keep your fingers crossed!)
Off to ingest coffee.

I bet it was the cat that said that. They can be such smartasses.
rosie Reefer Madness, The Musical? I soooooo wanna see that! It would have to be jake.
I might be in an ever so slightly better mood today. So far I just don’t like today. I may end up hating it or I may end up slightly tolerating it. We shall see. I’m kinda gettin’ in to this curmudgeony mood thing. Last night I went to bed at 7:30. I figured it was best for the world that I just go to sleep. Oh, ACBG did not come over last night on my advice. I needed to just be by myself. I like it that our relationship is such one of us can tell the other stuff like that. See, him I like.
