A sentence I never thought I'd say at work: "Yeah, 'box' is slang for vagina."
Bet that gave those folks a whole new take on "Dick in a Box"
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going to guess the people who didn't know what I was talking about have never heard of Dick in a Box.

Thrive to spite them
Jesse, that reminds me of a ball room dance instructor. He was showing me tango, and you have to keep your knees slightly bent to get the steps right. So he shows me what to do and says, very cheerifully, "I always tell my students -- Remember to get bent!"
He just stared at me dumbfounded as I dissolved into giggles.

So, should I go to the company-wide release party thing this afternoon?
Pros: snacky food and the chance to Win Fabulous Prizes. (Pete would be very happy if I somehow managed to win an XBox 360.)
Cons: interacting with other people who work here, which would probably involve a lot of the "I'm not in costume, these are my everyday clothes" -type of conversation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jilli, are folks there excited that Gates is gonna be on The Daily Show tonight?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Do it today, you don't have to do it in future. Get it all done at once!

I haven't heard any excited mutterings, but I'm kinda reclusive at work, so I may be very far out of the loop.
