So, my new job is selling advertising for the yellow pages (glamourous, I know...but surprisingly fun!). And each week we have team sales meetings where our managers give us various challenges with prize incentives to help to populate the upcoming phone book with ads. The new challenge was to sell ads into obscure headings-- so the managers announce each week which heading we should try to sell and ad into.
Last week's heading challenge? Llama Farms. My reaction to the announcement looked very much like this:  Unfortunately, my territory has no llama farms to sell yellow pages advertising to, but man did I want to lay claim to having sold the sole llama farm ad in the phone book.  **** "Chives?" "Yes, m'lud?" "Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?" "Indeed m'lud. She's marshalled all the haggle-dans. Missy-twigs and vale-nymphs from Claypole Woods. Apparently she intends to tear this house down and dance on the ruins." "Well, Chives, you'd better start the car, what? And pack my tennis things too" --- Joe 3Heads |

I just always hear/see stuff and then think "I gotta tell my Boardies".
Today at work the student manager at first put on KDWB....the shortest, crappiest playlist in the Known Universe. Just to see me cringe. Then another student came along. Vanessa changed it to one of the local metal stations. So we rock along happily, and when Black Sabbath was on with Ironman, she stopped and said "Oooh yeah, Ozzy. We used to play this in Pep Band"  I had to report this to y'all. ______________________ Fandangling across the moony sky, went the Beezee bold as brass, side-saddle she sat, on a big painted bat, shooting moonbeams out of her a(censored)e. ~Joe ________________________ Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway?

my wife told me the same thing... she played trumpet in high school, and they'd play Iron Man, she didn't even know it had anything to do with Ozzy until I came along...

Watching Miami Ink, where a guy crushing on Kat drove down from Canada to get her to do a pin-up tattoo for him. As she gets ready to start the tattoo, he pulls a bottle out and says, "Just need a shot," and downs a gulp from the bottle.
It's a bottle of maple syrup. *is glad to know the punk is not alone in her Canadian craziness.* |

Relief in Kenya as predictions of world's end prove premature.

Hehe, awesome
 "What should your role be? In that station to which God has called you, be who you are Madam. That is to say the person in relation to whom, by virtue of the principle of legitimacy, everything in your kingdom is ordered, in whom your people perceive its own nationhood, and by whose presence and dignity the national unity is upheld." -- General de Gaulle to Queen Elizabeth II, 1960 |

So there's this lady at one of the library branches. I've never actually met her. But I've heard stories about her ever since starting here. Some bee must've gotten under her bonnet, because she's gone INSANE with cranky bitchy emails where the ENTIRE library system's copied on them. This is SOOOOOO an off-email issue, but she's making damn well sure that everyone's aware of her disgruntledness.
After she went off on one of my library friends, I got all riled up and defensive.... and I caught myself thinking today : "Holy crap! She needs to take this off the Board. I wonder how long it will be until I can ban her? She's so stupid." .....and then I realized that some powers don't extend beyond the board.....  *sighs*_____________________________________________________________ "He's probably one of those people that thinks Elvis is dead." -- Agent Mulder |
