...and someone will call me 'father' soon-ish?
At work there is a group of us disgruntled, overworked, underpaid, mostly over-intellectual, and highly cynical yet in a generally hysterical way folks (for those of you who knew me in highschool...does that description sound at all familiar? Yeah, somehow I always end up with that group around me) and lately I've been given some serious thought to jotting down some of the true-to-life conversations we have and turning it into a web'zine. It would really sort of be a humourous opinion rag...with plenty of pop-culture references and Yanni burns to make one feel like they just stepped out of the dorm. I give you a recent example of our conversations:
E: Alright, what's the top 5 again?
J: Top 5 celebrities you'd want to fight.
D: Wait, fight as in spar, or like brutal beat down?
J: Does it matter?
M: Definately matters.
E: Yeah, you're talking two different groups here.
J: Uhm..brutal beat down.
D: Right, nuber one....Dakota Fanning...
J: Whoa..
E: Damn!
M: Hang on, we've done this one.
J: Yeah, I seem to remember D's irrational hatred of Dakota Fanning from a previous discussion. What's with that anyway?
D: I loathe the 'innocent yet creepy kid' that she's portrayed too often...and besides, are you saying you wouldn't want to beat Dakota Fanning down, given the chance?
M: Well, sure, given the chance...who wouldn't?
E: Alright, next top 5...
M: Top 5 artists you'd like to see sucker punch Glen Danzig...
J: Oooh....Yanni! Uhmm...for my second one...
E: We're not couting people who have actually sucker punched Danzig are we?
D: Yeah...Danny M has done it and we can already watch it, so he's kinda out.
J: Madonna.
M: Ouch!
and so on and so on and so on...this is what we do at work, and if you mix in comments about ones sexuality, questionable drinks, and generalized 'male' conversations into the middle...you have what we do almost every day. Somewhere, in the middle we actually get work done too...crazy, ain't it?
