Working somewhere else. Failing that, sawing my own head off.

I'm with you, bmarkey. I was going to say "Blowing my brains out," but I didn't want to sound all melodramatic.

Kicking down cubicle walls and screaming, "NINJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"

Pumpkin or apple, with just a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Please. And a crosscut saw.

posted by bmarkey 28 December | 19:09

I thought ninjas were the silent killers?

posted by It's Raining Florence Henderson 28 December | 19:12

Yeah, but that's not really germane. I just want to scream.

posted by selfnoise 28 December | 19:14

Whuffling!

posted by Frisbee Girl 28 December | 19:15

It's not Tito, either. And it's your wish - scream away!

If we ever do taglines this is a keeper, right after 'penis'.

posted by trondant 28 December | 19:24

I'm currently reading "The Ice Storm." The kids in the book address everyone as 'Charles' and often end sentences that way.

I'm going to start calling everyone Florence.

posted by mudpuppie 28 December | 19:28

Good choice! Everyone should embrace their inner Florence!

posted by It's Raining Florence Henderson 28 December | 19:30

Florence, be a dear and pass the whipped cream.

Yesss, that does work rather well...

posted by Specklet 28 December | 19:32

I'm going to start calling everyone Florence.

I prefer "Flo."

bmarkey--I think you just accidentally wrote a "Ziggy."

Is there pie in the afterlife?

I don't know what you mean, Florence.

Oh, what do I wish I was doing. I thought you meant what I was actually doing.

I have a new friend and I wish I was with that person now.

Not sweating. Well, it would be OK if I were sweating for some reason other than simply sitting here in my underwear sweating, which wouldn't be so bad.

Oh sorry, I thought it said, what WERE you doing. Wish I was sleeping, but I have a cold that won't let me.

posted by tetsuo 28 December | 23:24

And I see the other one now, and I'm confused, and I feel a little queasy.

posted by tetsuo 28 December | 23:25

Don't look at the Brokebush mountain thing, tetsuo. It'll only make it worse.

posted by bmarkey 28 December | 23:28

Staring stupidly at a bowl of kashi. I missed my traditional ten minute morning stupor this morning because I was running late.

If it's a safetyfork, that works.
