i have been away from my desk all day in a meeting (actually not a meeting from hell either) and came back to this

<a href=“http://wonkette.com/politics/zombies/gwb-does-the-retard+zombie-dance-like-the-retard+zombie-he-is-255294.php”>GWB Does the Retard-Zombie Dance Like the Retard-Zombie He Is</a>

KUDOS 8080 ETC

wait, no html on the sandbox either!!?? goddamn, what is it FOR?

GWB Does the Retard-Zombie Dance Like the Retard-Zombie He Is

Dancing… is… a primitive art-form… used in ancient times to express oneself with… the body! And communicate!

SO basically, the last 2 years of a second term in the whitehouse is like that bit where you’ve done your exams but still have to go to school (cf. T. Blair since he announced he would resign this summer).

guys David Caruso just said this shit to some guilty-ass kidnappin’ murderin’ South Florida tennis instructor

“I’m the fiber king, Dave. I’m the fiber king.”

what the hell guys

everyone i thot u died

i don’t even know who we are!

me neither!

who in the what now?

gotta say as nice as it is to have the sandboxx back there doesn’t really seem to be much of a point to it if it’s still using nu-ilx code.

it is a hideout

Keep out of clubhouse motherfuckers.

Okay, everything in our offices is PACKED, I have no files, no Rolodex, no pens or pencils, NO FUCKING STAPLER, and I’m still getting emails from people up the chain asking for me to do work. WE CLOSE AT 1PM. FOR GOOD. UNTIL AT LEAST MONDAY. Gawd, fuck all of them.

^^^^^ see, i don’t even know who that is!

oh wait it’s laurel

hahaha

Yeah, hi. :D

Set an auto reply saying ‘Moving offices, in the pub’

oh my

I’m headed for the pub in like twenty minutes, I just got the SHITTIEST email from a major salesperson about a book we’ve been slaving over, so suddenly we’re all freaking out on conference calls, trying to defend our work and figure out what the fuck, I mean, are people burning my books for heat over there in Indiana, or WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY??

Ally, remember the hard core of british ilx are all like, ‘wtf a bar where’s me pint why are you giving me my change in a little dish, why is everyone at ease with the world’.

yes i know i know i know. you and gareth are apparently the only british people who are normal, non-insulated, actually pay attention to anything that goes on. i am just completely gobsmacked by this soco thing though!!

Also whoever is vodka cthonic I truly luve you, don’t you know “cthonic” is one of my favorite words ever?

Can we start a new thread? I can’t load 100,000 messages just to backtrack.

what is this soco thing guys

stop exaggerating wildly, exaggeratatron

my head almost exploded reading that thread, it was like i was in another universe.

do i have to go and read this “thread,” so-called

Talking of gareth, he has a very bad hasn’t shaved for a week beard right now, which would be an evil gareth round the mouth beard is it didn’t have tufty bits elsewhere. (he will kikll me if I mention this on the internets, whoops)

It’s not just me and gareth but there is a hardcore of belligerent luddism out there.

there is no backtracking in the sandbox

OKay, I can’t load 10,000 messages either. I only added ONE MEASLEY ZERO, help me out here.

Altho on the other hand we just got an updated email that our offices now won’t open on Monday until NOON, making this now officially a paid 4-day weekend.

Rock, cocktails till 4am monday morning then.

That’s the plan, basically. Except somehow I have no plans at all for thsi weekend?? I need a date.

If it weren’t for the 29 day swim, I would drink all these cocktail with you. (and tip generously, the bar staff not you, obv)

Speaking of which, I am acquiring holiday time and air miles like billy-o at the moment so I think doing a weekend in NY another in DC and a week touring somewhere a bit rural might be on the cards for the autumn.

when i woke up this morning i felt really down about elliot gould but then i remembered like twenty minutes later that i’d only dreamt his death.

guys i dont’ even know what to do today, go to a bar and start drinking ridiculous cocktails y/n

y

go hang out with laurel, she got off early!

oh yeah, i forgot, let me go get into my teleporter!

how is it that you have a teleporter and i don’t

you are not even a scientist

i work for science tho, i get some insider things.

At work, all apostrophes in the sandbox are replaced with “‘“, which makes it really hard to read and is why I haven’t been around much. Not that anyone knows who I am, but hi anyway, guys.

hi tombots

Come hang out with me!! I actually debated catching the bus like Saturday morning for quick swipe at DC but I’d miss my bike, I decided. Come here instead and I’ll loan you my other bike and we can go out.

I kiss myself for baking off these chocolate chip cookies last night so that I could eat them right now and drink milk out of the carton with minimal effort.

Hi, Tomzor.

If I were tombot, I’d probably be able to fix this fucking browser and make the madness stop.

xpost

I am still cracking up that Ally knew who I was based off of a one word post!

was it “heavens”?

wait, that’s the other guy

hi kenan

I’m going to have a flatmate for the first time in a while. I am being tossed a Phd. student from Chicago, female. This could be interesting.

And I have recalled that she could bring me chicago vienna relish and sport peppers.

OK: Sport Peppers in Bloody Mary, Yes or No?

hey everybody!

According to Genesis 5:9–14, he was the grandson of Seth and son of Enos. Born when Enos was ninety years old, Cainan had his only named son, Mahalalel, when he was seventy. Other sons and daughters were born to Kenan before he died at 910 years of age.
