Business Speak Would Never Get That Interesting
Cyrano
Like that TV show with Don Johnson!
Not Miami Vice.
The other one.
With Cheech.
I'm waiting for a teleconference about "Cost Buckets" to start.
Pondering where I went so very, very wrong...

Katya
writing a cover letter must be the worst thing in the world

To Whom it May Concern,
Please eat this bullshit I am sending you
Dignan

That's The Spot They Keep Hitting.

dig and i were pretty much the pinnacle of military soldierness. it's like so many people died, the war effort needed to get the cooks and mechanics to go to the front line. so we went. and repaired. i think a third of the whole team was engineers repairing a single tank.
CPA 1.
I'll never understand how an engineer pointing a welding torch at the floor of a helicopter can keep it airworthy.

Wherein Entire States are Written Off
spruce
are you going to take that arctic survival course you linked to last night, ralph?
ralph
I don't know. It terrifies me appropriately. But I hate seal blubber.
spruce
maybe Idaho should terrify you more
it's full of loons, or so I hear
Idaho is a state that doesn't get a lot of mention.
ralph
most beautiful places are
Wyoming has 500k people. They're almost all assholes.
spruce
Wyoming and Montana are kind of interchangeable to me
arid, hilly cowboy country
Idaho strikes me as Washington's weird, developmentally disabled brother that he doesn't like to talk about
it is beautiful though, for sure
ralph
Colorado is deeply messed up as well--a moderately cool state with a ton of California okies slumming up the place and a fundy streak centered on Colorado Springs, the most beautiful worst place on earth
I don't know why I love it so much when people who aren't in charge of things announce that they're going to "step down."
spruce
that rocketboom thing still exists?
it's weird when some internet things last longer than a year
like I saw that JibJab still exists. Seemed wrong, somehow
it suggests that the internet has an attention span, which is mind-blowing
ralph
I had never heard of it, just knew of elspeth --she's a floatbrain
apparently
spruce
floatbrain?
ralph
not deep
at least, that's how I use it
spruce
I see. Being the dork I am, I picture something more literal
ralph
like advanced hydrocephalus?

No One Is Safe
spruce oompa loompah doopity doo we're going to take obamacare away from you!
Cyrano Like an otter caught in a plastic six-pack ring, no doubt.
liquidindian Got a free book with PC Gamer this month, a collection of pieces from PCG, Edge, PC Zone & PC Format.
liquidindian Was surprised to see no Frohman in there.
spruce straight into the trash, then?
liquidindian No, I said no Frohman.

Schizochatenia
ralph I was beginning to think some other, sterner chatter was doing your material for you
Niteowl you act as if there is more people in this room than just you, me, and my 12 aliases

Niteowl no, i'd still call that chinese food
i call meatloaf food
CPA 1. the thing about food is, you're always hungry half an hour later
Niteowl and you are certainly in my top twenty of all time for People I know Who Went To Business School And Like Sailing And Lumbermen Shirts and Who, By All Accounts To Their Exotic And Interesting Heritage Just Look Like an Over Educated Italian Man With An Aversion to Sun
top 25, anyways.
CPA 1. I went to business school, too. But I'm from Norway. :(
Niteowl Yeah, yer number 1 for Norweigian Oregonians Who Actually LIke Perl And Dig Crosstrainers And Disturbingly Thin Moustaches
NUMBER ONE

Niteowl you can start chanting "USA" now
ralph I'm growing a moustache for movember
