    Sam did you even leave the office last night? I wish you Yuletide greetings, from my vacationing Playboy lifestyle to your Aeron office chair (well, maybe you'll work up to that in time...).

    That actually brings to mind an interesting anectdote. In fact I did leave at a decent hour last night as the overlords were on a plane to Cali and proceeded to get rip roaring blackout drunk with some friends since I had to work all weekend. Of course i immediately passed out on the couch when I got home and came to around 5 AM, and then I noticed that my blackberry was lighting up like a christmas tree and I had a bunch of voicemails and messages on my cellphone from the overlords asking me to get him x, y, and z before 9 EST. Now I usually sleep till 9 and don't make it to work till 10 - but anyway obviously I got on top of it and got it out between 6-830. But for the fact that I was wasted off my ass and up at 5 I wouldn't have ever gotten any of the messages and people would have been pissed.

    I thank you for the opportunity to relate this cautionary tale.

    Seems like Rice alumni all share one attribute. They can't take a joke.

    Maybe this new president rimbaud is talking about needs to focus on implementing Sense of Humor 101.

    Can you imagine the jokes they would tell in that class?

    Jesus and his disciples were walking around one day, when Jesus said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like 3x squared plus 8x minus 9." The disciples looked very puzzled, and finally asked Peter, "What on earth does Jesus mean - the Kingdom of Heaven is like 3x squared plus 8x minus 9? Peter said, "Don't worry. It's just another one of his parabolas.

    These last few posts are degrading what was a quality thread with their general lack of wit/humor. Do better, please.

    Conquistador your stallion stands
    In need of company
    And like some angel’s haloed brow
    You reek of purity
    I see your armour-plated breast
    Has long since lost it’s sheen
    And in your death mask face
    There are no signs which can be seen

    And though I hoped for something to find
    I could see no maze to unwind
    Conquistador a vulture sits
    Upon your silver shield
    And in your rusty scabbard now
    The sand has taken seed
    And though your jewel-encrusted blade
    Has not been plundered still
    The sea has washed across your face
    And taken of it’s fill

    And though I hoped for something to find
    I could see no maze to unwind
    Conquistador there is no time
    I must pay my respect
    And though I came to jeer at you
    I leave now with regret
    And as the gloom begins to fall
    I see there is no, only all
    And though you came with sword held high
    You did not conquer, only die

    Nice story. I like the expression "overlords" for the partners :D.

    Sorry about the 12 cm, though :(.

    Where are B-bobert and the King of Cheetahs?

    This thread calls out for the insane rantings of Senor boberto (though it doesn't need his hurtful emotional barbs) and the mad photochopping skilz to pay the bilz of the feline Rex.

    A grown man for whom I work just called me "dummy"

    I am being completely serious. That is like the first time that has happened me since 2nd grade.

    For the record, I am not a dummy.
