I’ve blogged before about some of the antics we get into at work. We get our work done but we also have a lot of fun. Lately there has been a streak of pratical jokes.. Nothing bad. Just oh covering an entire desk with aluminum foil or filling an office with balloons (more on that later). One of the guys who has been involved with the practical jokes went on vacation a week...

Foiled again! Pranks at work
I love where I work. Great people with a sense of humour and love for what they do. One of the guys at work was out on vacation at the same time I was. Some of my coworkers plotted to cover his desk with aluminum foil. These are programmers we’re talking about: detail oriented to an extreme. And boy does it show. (And of course, they took pictures and made a video.) Awesome....

A friend of mine sent me this. (Sorry not posting much. On vacation this week.) One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, ‘Good...

A friend of mine sent me this in a forwarded email. It’s probably made the rounds before. A couple from Tennessee and a couple from the Northeast were seated side by side on an airplane. The girl from Tennessee, being naturally friendly and all, asked the couple,’So where ya’ll from?’ The Northeast girl replied,’From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence.’ The girl...

This is from an email joke passed along by a friend. FIVE BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK: NUMBER 5: They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen. NUMBER 4: ‘This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time-management course you sent me to. NUMBER 3: ‘Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-out. You probably got here just...

My renegade Time Lord name is…Tau! (Best option out of The Cleaner, Hetamax, and The Totax, although the latter has some possibilities.) What is your renegade Time Lord name? Related Images:

Slashdot had an interesting discussion on LaTeX, a document markup and typesetting system used mainly by scientific and mathematical publications. LaTeX is complex and hard to setup but offers powerful tools (most of which do not have a reasonable substitute). Admist the conversations (and jokes about latex verses polyurethane), was this little gem of a joke: I asked a mathematician how to solve constipation and he said, “Work it out with a pencil.”...

I tried to find the original article so I could link back. Unfortunately, searching the Washington Post web site doesn’t return any hits for the word “neologisms.” Going through Google turned up lots of hits of people posting the same or similar lists, but no one had a link back to the Washington Post contest. These are just too funny not to share. I particularly like this one: Cashtration (n.): The act of...

Apparently NC is recalling several thousand license plates with the letters “WTF” in the plate. Heh. That would have been an awesome license plate. I wonder if I could get one that says “RTM” (read the manual)? The information was on Slashdot this morning. Related Images:

My stepmom sent me this picture in my email with the caption “Just checking on you.. Yup. There you are… Sitting at your computer again.” I couldn’t stop laughing. What caption would you put on this picture? I’m not sure where she got it from, so please pardon no link to the original photographer. Related Images:

I was randomly reading web pages and came acros a site called Photo Basement, a site that contains humourous modern day and historical photos, some times captioned and some times not. The photo sets are pretty funny. The set of what happens when geeks have kids got me laughing, especially this first image: Related Images:

A friend of mine sent me a link to a page of Cat Resolutions, including this one: I promise I will meditate more closely upon the causal relationship between going dumpster diving on Sunday afternoon and projectile vomiting Monday, and being brought to the Evil Place Where They Stick Things Up My Butt on Tuesday evening. I realize that if I hadn’t done the first, none of the other things would have happened....
