Back to where we left off (conversation killers...)

another attempt at resuscitation...did you ever wish you had one of those Star Trekkie remote controls and you could just zap the assholes out of the way? I'd aim mine at my office Hall Monitor.

Must every office come equipped with a Designated Tattletale? Last night I dreamt we were both drafted into the same army...

MS: I remember the office I worked in a few years ago before Joel and I were married. The quintessential office manager. EVERY morning she would come in and check on everyone and say something like, "It could be a busy day, today. We might all need to be flexible! You know, flexibility is the key. Flex-i-bil-i-ty."

Well, I had just about heard enough by the second week I was there. One day then a few of the ladies from the office were on break and started talking about her. "That's all she talks about, flexibility. I'll give her flexibility. I'll give her flex-fuckin-bility." From then on every time the manager walked by that's what we all were thinking.

I've never thought of the word flexible the same ever since.

maybe this'll get it restarted.

uhhh..we do? Guess I didn't get the memo...

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 11:07 am

I really don't like Sheryl Crow, despite not getting a memo.

well, it seems like we do

i got that memo, but i can't remember what it said. i threw it in the recycle basket, where all the memos go.

i am not fond of dave matthews. not sure why.

i've got no problems w/ sheryl crow. actually, i don't change the station when her stuff is on the radio. can't say that for dave though.

No problem, oily. The important thing is that we all like Elvis.

well, that is no way to get a good "conversation" going. i'm glad poppet got it; i thought i was imagining things.

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 12:06 pm

You callin' me a dumb blonde oily?

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 12:07 pm

OS, i think that memo only went to the truly *cool* kids. you know how the memo writers get sometimes, they think we'll spread the trend or something.

(bwahahaha! me a cool kid? in my DREAMS baby, in my dreams.)

no, spooky. i wasn't certain that mane was natural!

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 12:26 pm

OOooh, we're being a smartass today, aren't we?

Now you're going to get a conversation going.

I hit the peroxide last night.

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 1:17 pm

Loreal - because I'm worth it.

I was very blonde as a little girl, but it became this yucky dishwater blonde as I got older. The blonde always suited me well, so I went back.

wait a minute photoless mood swung, you're an alleged blond as well? (what the hell does any of this have to do with elvis? and where is everyone who makes fun of dave and sheryl? working! oh.)

Photoless, yourself, Mr. Slick.

Can't stand Sheryl Crow...actually I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to a song of hers playing over the credits of some damn movie...that tv no longer works. I don't know why but her voice drives itself through my skull....

Actually don't think Dave is that bad...I enjoy some of his stuff and have seen them in concert a couple times (free tickets from work). I think it's like a lot of things, I'd enjoy it more if I didn't have to associate with some of the people who enjoyed it as well. Like riding a motorcycle or golfing...if people could not talk about it constantly it'd be much more fun.

alleged blonde??? I'm absolutely glowing...makes me feel all Thelma and Louise.

My son likes DMB a lot, so that means I can't (reverse generation gap), but I did like one or two of his that I heard on the radio...and I understand that he encourages his fans to tape his shows, which I find very refreshing. Sheryl Crow--well, I like almost all her radio stuff but have been underwhelmed by her albums. I really liked the Steve McQueen song.

C'mon, Slick...Mug has posted HER photo in the photo thread (where she does, indeed, appear to be blonde, but NOT dumb)...

We're still waiting for yours....

Chickenshit?

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 4:04 pm

cluck, cluck. no wait, shit doesn't cluck; shit just lays there. holy crap (!), i'm just an old guy and i don't have a decent photo. i don't do anything meaningful around here, i just listen to elvis music. how come no one is hassling moody and goody(glass houses)2 shoes?

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 4:22 pm

Okay, I will.

Moody, Goody - where the hell are your pictures? Come on, even rope posted one.

Oily - those aren't even good excuses. Try again.

I like both Dave and Miss Crowe....! I must admit.....

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 3:12 pm

well, you'd better keep it under your hat, Cope, or someone will ask to see your membership card!

Photos will be posted. eventually. maybe I'll post one of me and slick together!

... knew I felt my ears burnin'.

For the record, my hair is blonde but greying FAST. My Dad's hair was white by age 45, and although I don't think I'm headed there, my hair has indedd lightened from the first picture posted to the second (=course of 2 years). When it figures out what color it wants to be, I'll decide whether I like it or want to dye it.

More than you wanted to know, I am sure.

I've seen a picture of Slick... there's no reason he shouldn't be posting one.
