December Wall Quotes



These make touching more fun!
I have a backwards E.T. head.
Dylan brought the balls.
Who brought the Pig Popper?
Just looking at him, I can smell the leather.
Okay! THAT’S OVER! Time of death? SATURDAY!
Hi, I’m Jizzy Jeffcoat.
Big jugs – pause for laughter – of Vermont Maple Syrup.
Is he going to come up or are you going to go down?
You can’t do that to me! I have the brain of a 12 year-old boy.
These are high end premium balls!
So you don’t care if it is the bastard child of a high end equity farm and a cow?
You can taste and spit it out but not swallow.

Dr. Who and Annoying Suzeroo

(Set up: Suzeroo is a big Dr. Who fan.   My Hubs remembers the series from the 60's and 70's.  I've never watched them.  I started texting Suzeroo and apparently it got a bit annoying.  The conversation below is a re-created version of what happened.)

I Don't Want to Be the Humbug!




Context: I’m on the Social Committee and am reporting the winners of the holiday raffles happening today.  There are quite a few people who really REALLY want to win a new iPad or a gift certificate.  I feel for them, I do.  But with 800 employees and only 30 gifts, the chances are rather slim.  I got this email in my Social Committee inbox….

Mrs. Claus?

If you have any compassion in your heart, you will pull my name from the drawing bowl.

I have never “won” anything at X – been here a long time – and have been really good this year!

If I don’t win, then I am going to revert back to my ole “bad ways” and enjoy myself !!!!

Any questions, Mrs. Claus?

GG Downstairs,

Unfortunately I have zero hand in picking the winners.  That task was left to Mama Christmas herself, Ms. X (President).  Sadly, I only report the wins (of which I am ineligible.) L  I feel your pain GG Downstairs.  Let’s crack open a bottle of wine and go ahead and be bad.

We are sad to report that the former GG Downstairs has left the building and gone back to her lascivious ways (and she’s old enough to know what that word means)  !!  

She asked not to be contacted unless:  (1) she FINALLY won something or, (2) a chilled Santa Margehrita Pinot Grigio was left in an ice bucket outside her door!!

Take that, Mrs. Claus !!

Teh Awesomest If I Say So Myself (Which I Do)

A couple of us in the Marketing Department each received a present from one of our agencies. It was in a constructed box that I ripped apart in a matter of seconds. Little did I know that the directions were printed on the inside of the box I had just ripped.  Whoopsie daisy.

Inside I found at least 50 pieces of cardboard that could be used to make a cool airplane.  Since the directions were shredded, and I'm not one to follow directions anyway, I decided to make my own Time Machine.



How cool is that???

Music Monday - Russian Christmas Music by Alfred Reed

It's that time of year... the time for RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS MUSIC!

Well, THAT'S Not a good sound!



I’m sitting at my desk this afternoon, doing my googlies, and shift in my seat. All of a sudden, I hear the tell-tale riiiiiiiiiiiiiip. I think to myself, Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!

I stand up and feel by buttocks area… there is a fuzzy delineation between one portion of my jeans and the other.  (These are a pair of my favorite jeans, I paid almost $100 for them {Seven brand} and love wearing them.  Granted, as I have lost quite a bit of weight, they don’t really fit right in the buttock area… my colleagues were getting frustrated and said I had a saggy bottom.  I went out and bought new jeans that fit, but those are in the hamper and need to be washed.  Running late this morning, I just grabbed this pair. Anywhoooooo…)  

I cautiously walked over to MM’s cube where KelBel and MM were chatting.
KelBel: What’s wrong? Your face is bright red.
Me: Ummm, how bad is it?
I turn around and both break into giggles.
Me: That bad??
KelBel: (Still giggling) No, no. Only when you point it out.
MM: Yeah, you can barely notice. (smirking)
KelBel: Let’s find some duct tape.

We couldn’t find duct tape.  So here I sit. With plastic packing tape on the inside of my pants that makes noises.  I bet people think I’m wearing a diaper.  I’d go home and change but there’s only an hour left to the day.  

I’m going to be called Tapey Butt for the rest of the month, I can tell.

Belated Music Monday - "Shoulders of Fortune" by This Ground Moves

Music Monday was belated for absolutely no good reason.  Adame suggested this song  ... which is now stuck in my head. "I'm at the Pizza Hut. I'm at the Taco Bell. I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell."

But no. No Das Racist. We are going with something infinitely more wordy.



Also heard on CSI: NY.  Wow, I am now sourcing music from a crime show whereas I used to find underground songs from teh interwebs. How suburban I've become.
