  • I'm guessing a lot of the gangsters around here will know it... ;-)

    November 1, 2007

  • Because there are so many of them here? ;->

  • Oh come on, we're the upper echelon of Wordies! That's gotta count for something! Revel a little! :-P

    November 1, 2007

  • Wait...we have echelons here? *looking around in confusion*

    November 1, 2007

  • Oh, tag--Office Space, of course. :-)

    November 1, 2007

  • Yeah... ummm... I'm gonna have to ask you to ... umm... move to Storage B...

  • C_B, this is a movie that I did not enjoy very much. I was reminded of a similar response you made to spinal tap. I wonder if I just can't relate to Office Space because I've never worked in an office--in possibly the same way that you didn't relate to Spinal Tap because you were never a professional musician?

    Wait--you were never a professional musician, right?

  • Uhhh... well.... sorry to prove your theory a little bit false. :)

    I can see how "Office Space" isn't that funny to many people. I never thought it *could* be that funny, but everyone kept talking about it, so when it came on T.V. about a month ago, or some outrageously late point in time like that, I left it on. I've been working in a cubicle for more than two years now, and that day was just the stupidest day ever, so I guess the timing was just right.

    That said, I don't think I'll ever watch it again.

    I live with people who think "Spinal Tap" is the funniest thing ever, yet don't think much of Monty Python. Go figure.

  • Well, there goes that idea...:)

    November 1, 2007

  • I am CHAINED BEAR! THREAD-KILLER!

    Sorry I ruined the mood.

    If I say something gross about... say... head cheese... will it help?

    November 1, 2007

  • Sorry, c_b. Are we overdoing the head cheese thing?

    November 1, 2007

  • Don't worry too much about it, tag. This happens a lot on Wordie. :-)

    November 1, 2007

  • Peter. What's happening.
