"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

This was in my meeting room a bit ago [link]

As I say in the comments. I was a bit unnerved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Was he there for a meeting?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The meeting room is named after him. I should have taken a picture of the storm trooper that greeted me at the entrance to that floor.

I was in the room with Gollum alone for a good 10 minutes before anyone else showed up. I just tried not to look.

When marketing goes horribly wrong: Promotions prank ends in armed police callout

A marketing stunt to promote a video game sparked an armed police callout after an actor pointed a fake gun at terrified pubgoers in Auckland's Viaduct Basin.

About 20 revellers drinking outside Degree bar dived for cover after the promotions worker threatened them with a black imitation pistol about 8pm on Friday.

Witnesses said they heard someone shout "he's got a gun" and outdoor drinkers dived behind their tables.

Degree manager Steph Kurtovich said: "This guy with bandages on his hands pointed a gun at customers sitting outside. They were pretty terrified."

The stunt, to promote the release of Xbox title Splinter Cell Evolution, was condemned by police.

Senior Sergeant Ben Offner said officers could not tell the gun was made of plastic until they had taken it from the actor.

"We consider these types of stunts to be very ill-advised and have real concerns a similar one may one day end in tragedy."

Game promoters Monaco Corporation said they hired another marketing company to organise the event and had no idea that a gun would be used.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I would have been talking to Gollum. Or for him. "My colleague Gollum here thinks your proposal is crap, but he's too polite to say so."

Heh.

You could also have hired someone to deliver raw fish to him during the meeting.

pretty, indeed. But all I could think about when I looked at that furniture was...fingerprints! Oh the tyranny of fingerprints.

And then, 'Huh. If I ever get the Fortress of Solitude ready for decorating..."
