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…
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…
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…

Admist the conversations (and jokes about latex verses polyurethane), was this little gem of a…

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….
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…
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.
