So, if I'm desperately bored and blah, hitting reload on the BRQG until I find something funny I said -- that's an okay method of validating my self-worth, right?

You could also go into the Comm thread and search on your handle. Yes, on some rather gray days I've done this. I've also looked up stuff from Buffistae who've made me laugh in the past.

This seems like an appropriate one for today:

Gudanov: I was just going to ask "What is The Office?", but then that made me think about the promos for the first Matrix movie. You know, "What is The Matrix?", and that seemed like a silly comparison. What does being put into a small pod, having the energy sucked out of you, and living in an unreal world have to do with working in an office?

I've got to say, people like ita and Madrigal are really making my search more difficult.

Okay, now I feel better.

New York Times reviewer: Winston Churchill once said that the foundations of British naval tradition consisted of rum, sodomy and the lash. "Master and Commander," which is rated PG-13, settles for two out of three.

Dana: Oh, please, let them have left out the rum.

That's why you coded it, right, shrift?

To be honest, I have no idea why I coded it, what, four years ago now? Five? But it's useful for validation on rainy days, yes. Also nice that I can look up anything in it anytime I want.

Also nice that I can look up anything in it anytime I want.

Really? Can you tell me the last time I was funny?

Um, right then?

You know those days when you have a ton of stuff going on and you are trying to meet deadlines and shit and then other people in your office near you are just goofing off and being loud and you want to stab sharp objects into them and give them jobs to do or at least yell loudly that YOU ARE SURE THERE IS WORK THAT COULD BE DONE? you know those days?

yeah.

Man. BRQG gave me no love. This is what I get for failing to be amusing.

The rest of you are pretty funny, though.
