"Luckily you're the only buzzer in my box." -- Adam
[me] but during my vacation I started dating someone else entirely
[alex] OH! Nice. When do we get to meet him?
[me] alas, you won't
[me] he's post-op as of two weeks ago

"... and while many people say 'bros before hos', I am not one of those people." -- me
Me, every evening for the past 6 months: "Hello."
Foreign female custodian on our floor: "Fine, how are you?"

"All figures assume worst case scenario." -- actual sentence in the Hard Rock Cafe nutrition listings
Anonymous 1: "My wife can't have children."
Anonymous 2, seriously: "Oh, is it genetic?"
[me] on the other hand, we have a function called getSourceable()
[me] that returns false if an item is sourceable
[me] and true if it's unsourceable
[me] so perhaps the commenter was merely pointing out that getInventoryForItem does,
in fact, get the inventory for an item
[me] as opposed to, say, getting yesterday's lotto numbers in Nebraska
[cash] the crazy lady who always calls my phone looking for paul called
[cash] i knew it was her because my address book identified her number as

[me] THAT'S CALLED AGILE PROGRAMMING AND IS ENCOURAGED
[cash] it is, in fact, encouraged
[cash] i would scoff except that this team appears to get shitloads of stuff done
[me] Agile Programming = coding with your feet behind your head
[me] though I guess that's more Flexible than Agile
[me] hmm
[me] Agile Programming = coding while scoring a critical hit on an ogre
"I'm a much better girl than I am an athlete. By the way, I just completed my Batman [video] game." -- Felicia

booty call."
Flea: "Gives 'crackberry' a whole new meaning."

[adam] I'm not even into blondes
[me] i think she's Czech
[me] just guessing
[adam] Uhh ... I think it's Russian, actually
[me] really?
[adam] I'm pretty sure
[adam] She smells of communism
[adam] Hrm ... can you be a professional sperm donor? Like ... go pro?
[me] i already am, my friend
[adam] That should be an olympic event
[adam] Just a room full of guys whackin' it
[adam] You win for speed and accuracy
[me] what about volume?
[me] or would that be a separate event?
[adam] Hrm ... that could be a secondary consideration
[me] gotcha
[adam] Maybe you could combine it with skiing, like they did with that
shoot-while-you-ski thing
[adam] Day Trader would be right up your alley
[adam] You're super Jewish
[me] totally
[adam] And you already dress the part
[adam] Like, if I had to guess what your occupation was if I didn't
know you, I'd either say Day Trader or gay
[me] sweet jesus
[adam] Yeah, you can CC him
[adam] DUDE ... that's a brilliant idea ... I'm gonna start adding

[alex] Every morning skippy
Me: "Somebody kill me ..."
Adam: "Eh ... then I wouldn't have anyone to talk to."
Me: "What about Amy?"
Adam: "I can't say the same things to her that I can to you."
Me, consolingly: "Eventually you two will grow to have the same close relationship that we have."
Amy, matter-of-factly: "I ... don't see that happening."
"It's not so much the trauma of it; it's the extreme burning in my urethra." -- Adam
[cash] "Cash ... has been very helpful and has been working ... to get the issues resolved."
[cash] okay, now people need to stop putting that in their email
[cash] the last fucking thing i need is a reputation for being helpful
[cash] "Cash peed on my bed when I asked him to help," that's what I need being circulated
Me: "Wow, a vendor lead time of 290 days."
Adam: "Maybe it's an import."
Me: "From where? Mars?!"

Starbucks employee: "What name would you like us to put on the drink today?"
Cash: "Are you suggesting that I'd ever use a name other than the one my mother gave me?"
SB: "No, no, not at all."
Cash: "Very well. Put 'Mom' there."
SB: "Your mother named you Mom?"
Cash: "Yes, I was named after her. You see, it's a sentimental thing, since she died very
shortly before my birth."
SB: "Your mom died during childbirth?"
Cash: "No, that would be a weird coincidence. She died in a car accident."
SB: "Oh."
[cash] and at the end of it, they go
[cash] "Okay, want to try it again now that we've fixed the problem?"
[cash] and i said, "It's midnight. No great endeavors start at midnight.
Every one I've ever begun ended in tattoos and venereal diseases."
[sr] anon: you have any background in security? our team is hiring like mad
[anon] sr: I have a .45 and a shotgun
[anon] Is that good enough?
[alex] yes, I have been questioning the value of facebook lately too. I've reconnected with
people I missed from previous lives, and its shallow and unfulfilling
[cash] yes, that's because you didn't really miss them
[cash] it's not like the mailman got cholera and lost the bundle of letters i sent
[cash] if i stopped communicating with somebody, it's because i didn't want to take
the time to go and communicate with them.
[cash] and so bringing them back all in your life just adds to the amount of relationship
chores i'm going to feel bad about neglecting
[cash] like, i miss my brother, and so i call and email him periodically.
[cash] i don't miss my cousin megan
[cash] so finding out that she's just gotten second prize in the ladies who look like
frodo baggins contest is not helpful
[me] i can't go to the bathroom until i get this kindle cord

[me] uh
[me] big

[cash] Boom! and I played some bed mole hunting
[cash] and then i slept for 45 minutes
[cash] brian: fucking fucking fuck fuck
[cash] me: are we now in an f-bomb safe zone?
[cash] brian: i guess we'll find out
[cash] me: there you go again, testing in prod
Me: "Does anyone have one of the newer models with them at work that I could ... erm ...
touch for a while?"
Andrew: "I'm in [the office] next 2 weeks if you want to, ahem, play with a 13"."
Dylan: "I have a 15". If you were to drop by, I would let you 'touch it', as long as you
were polite about it."

[jeremy] lol, you'd be surprised by what alex can sustain
[adam] What dictionary are you using? The ones I tried don't define "sustain" as "to take in one's mouth"
[adam] I like stability
[adam] I figure people will always have unprotected sex, so Disney isn't going anywhere
[adam] I don't devote a whole day to just biceps, it's too small of a muscle
[alex] maybe yours...
[me] are you talking about The Bible Online?
[mike] yes
[mike] im assuming youre going to play the base game but not the expansion?
[alex] mike: Whats the expansion offer?
[mike] i was making a jew joke
[adam] I seriously think I'm going to birth an Irish Poop Child
[adam] It'll probably be roughly the size of our waitress's boob
[me] Good thing about wearing sandals to work: I can take them off easily.
[me] Bad thing about wearing sandals to work: Once off, it's hard to get them back on
in a hurry when my Irish Poop Child water breaks.
[adam] I think I'm the only person in the world who hasn't seen Avatar
[adam] If I want to see a blue chick with big boobs, I just go in my basement
