You should. It is funny.
That is a glass half empty. Kind of funny though. I’d laugh hearing him say it. Then cry after.
Thanks my friend. Life may be altering the wind in my sail but the sail remains none the less. Looking forward to getting through the muddle. [Y]
I saw ‘Office Space’ years and years ago. Is that the guy that was obsessing over his stapler and ended up fired but kept coming to work because no one had the heart to tell the poor guy that he was out of a job?
I really need to watch it again. It was a laugh riot. I loved the manager with his obsession with the TKD report or whatever it was.
Glad to hear you’re well Bakster. Was wondering if Dr. Zira had done one of her lobotomy specials on you.
So do I. It would be very applicable about now.
She offered me a half price deal. I said no, that it’s still too expensive. The next guy in line had a coupon for 20% off. They happily took his money and his brain. They suckered him into a brainwashing too. There is a sucker born every minute.
Now me? I am smarter about these things. Greg has a bridge he is selling and it sounds like a good deal. Waiting for the deed to arrive. [Y]
TPS reports [:D] Lumbergh kept asking for them. Big fan of that movie and practically know it by heart. It was tough to see the same actor later play LT Nixon in Band of Brothers. Quite a dramatic range going from Peter to Nixon. Apparently he was in Sex In The City, but didn’t watch - my wife pointed that out.
Yes, he was. Some guy who went by his last name only.
Bill
I hear ya. Try building an engine up and ordering stuff like camshafts and lifters. I just got off the phone with Comp Cams and they’re 3-4 months out from the time of ordering till manufacture and delivery. It’s all across the board.
He also had a nice role toward the end of Boardwalk Empire.
Great movie, Office Space: the scene where they dispatch the printer to the Geto Boys is iconic.
Bingo. I was at an RC field recently when one of the members came over and started a conversation. One thing lead to another and he told me about his vehical parts business. Same thing you are saying Joe, he can’t get parts. He is waiting months to get things. If you have a Dodge Caravan, you might find it hard to find discs. He said those are really tough. He managed to score a skid of them but now prices have near tripled, if you can find them.
We have a guy in our office that is much like Milton. People have teased him about it and they even got him a red stapler. He takes it in stride and seems to enjoy the attention. The people in my office are a tough sort, you need thick skin. This might explain how I am on some days. [:|]
Dont forget to wear your flair.
Did you know Swingline didn’t make a red stapler until after the movie came out?
They were the only one of several well-known manufacturers that didn’t object when Mike Judge asked if he could use their name…but the prop guy had to paint the color on, since it wasn’t one of their regular offerings. The company didn’t do any licensing merch at the time…due, no doubt, to the themes and profanity of the film. But once the film achieved cult status they were besieged with requests for the red stapler…so they quite wisely bowed to demand. [:D]
No I did not know. That is a hoot.
I am gonna watch the movie again, SOON.
I had no friggin’ idea…
That’s funny, thanks Greg!
Yeah, Gary Cole was Lumbergh.
Had just watched him in the ‘Babylon 5’ spin-off ‘Crusade’ where he was a starship captain!
‘Alwright Mr. Alien, I need those TPS reports!’
Um yeah. I need you to come in tomorrow and on Sunday too…
Have not seen this movie. Clearly I am going to have to find and watch.
Funny you should mention bridges. Apparently the Sydney Harbour bridge was sold a couple of times during WWII to some alllies from across the sea in the Northern hemisphere…
Please do, Dodgy. I hope it entertains you as much as it did many of us.
Oh really? Then I am in good company. Greg is selling me the Mackinac bridge for a song. I almost feel guilty buying it so cheap.
it’s still for sale dodgy , I can get for steve at a really good price . [whstl]
Whoa. It’s my lucky day. [;)]
Going to need it to get to that beach front property in Arizona[:D]
What ???
You have beachfront for sale ???
Trade you my " great wall of Mexico" for some beachfront.
