I was on vacation for a little less than a week, and now I'm back at work. Work is pretty lame. Be warned - this post lacks interesting content.
Magestry was extra wet and I angered my back - probably while helping to dig a trench to divert the river that was running through OPs. Let me tell you a story about muscle relaxers. That story is: "WHOOOO!" I realized I didn't so much miss hanging out with people, as I did miss hating people. Also, I did a cursory search for giant, novelty tweezers and came up with nothing. But don't worry
talbeans, my quest will continue!
Monday was chanteys. Our totally awesome waitress Lynn Ann made us cookies and we did The Clockwinder (and it was about as clumsy a rendition as the one we did at Magestry). We also made "get well soon" cards for the popcorn machine that's been broken for three weeks.
Tuesday,
louserman,
thepmpknking, and I went to see The Simpsons movie. It was way better than I thought it would be - but take that with a grain of salt: I thought it was gonna be really bad. Also, I may have hallucinated most of the movie from the muscle relaxers.
Wednesday was basically a wash, but involved a lot of television, a little bit of beer, and some Xbox.
The house will be devoid of folks for a while, since jerks'll be rocking out at Pennsic. I'm gonna start a Cash Drive in
thepmpknking's absence. Basically, for 1 (one) American dollar, I will put my penis on an item of your choosing, so long as it belongs to
thepmpknking personally, or Sternbergia, communally. I think I can make so easy cash this way. Oh - and let me stop you before you go for the obvious first choice: he took his toothbrush with him.
Anyway,
watermelontail meme'd this bad boy up, and I liked this the first time it went around. So considering that, and the fact that I am immeasurably bored and uncomfortable at work, here it is:
List a lyric from the first twenty-five songs in your randomized playlist and invite people to guess the song title and artist. Guess in the comments, and if you're right, I will cross off the song and put your name next to it. Googling answers is for douchebagganos. The last one of these beasts I did asked to go by the first line. This one is more/less tricksy, and could come from anywhere. LOOK OUT! IT'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU! Oh, and I didn't look up lyrics when I was doing this, so if I misheard something - tough noogies.
