Comedy GOLD, I tell you what.
'Out Of Gas'
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also comedy gold - we've got a reply all debacle going on, where someone wanting access to a system used an "all system users" email list. Man oh man. Followed the usual progression:
1. This was not meant for me! 2. Why am I on this list? 3. Please take me off this list
but now has devolved (hello, after 6) to
4. How 'bout them Badgers? 5. Did anyone see Breaking Bad this weekend? 6. A "hang in there" kitten poster 7. A review of Harry and the Hendersons 8. "Replying all is so 2012!"
(Amid the still constant flow of "take me off htis list" "don't reply all", people calling don't-reply-allers hypocrites for replying all, and finally a threat to forever deny the original emailer access just because.)
BRB, gotta make sure I'm following Steph on FB.
Man, this hi-larious. Now people are reply alling "has anyone seen my keys?", and Roger Staubach's son is arguing college football with a half a dozen people.
6. A "hang in there" kitten poster
AWESOME.
I love your sassy colleagues Brenda.
Happy Birthday Trudy!
The ENORMOUS box from Amazon was a wedding present from one of Tim's brothers and his wife -- 2 very swanky folding camping chairs! (This is the brother who loves to camp and always camps for his birthday.) At the recent camping trip, we pulled out our fairly old camping chairs, which don't even have armrests (they're that old), which we are perfectly happy with, because we don't use them all that much. I don't remember getting any teasing about our chairs, but there may have been some. And I think *I* lamented the lack of armrests that have beverage holders.
These have armrests (I think pretty much all camping chairs have arms now), with a beverage holder hole in each arm, and the chairs recline. SWEET.
Oh man, I've been looking for something like that.
Tim's SiL has a camping chair that's like a barcolounger -- there's a footrest that you can pop out and then you can just chill your ass out. Like this: [link]
No, student, I will not drop everything to answer an email you just sent me asking a question that was answered in the email that I sent to the whole class four hours ago.
