Gefilte Fish Gummies???

Here at work we have a repository for leftovers, odds and ends, and anything that's edible. Pretty much everyday, some schmo leaves on the table oodles of food stuffs to ruin your diet with. (It's a conspiracy!).

Yesterday there were tasty Ginger Snaps from Trader Joe's. But today... well, someone has a sick sense of humor!

An, as of yet, unnamed assailant left these on the main table. No note, no explaination....

Of course I tried them. And actually, they weren't that bad!

A Watch to Drive My Hubs INSANE.

I have a ... uh..."fluid" sense of time as it is - much to the chagrin of my ALWAYS ontime hubs.
I think I might just buy one of these to cause a little more havoc in our lives.
MUAHAHAHH!!!
Oh shoot.. he sometimes reads this.
Uh... NEVERMIND! Wrong number! Wrong number!!

A Webcam? Really? Do you not trust us!???

Backstory:

A coworker, we'll call "Bob", is in a meeting today. Since Bob wants to do work also, he's remoting in to his computer.  BUT he decided to set up a webcam incase of shennanigans. 

The Issue:

My desk is DIRECTLY across from his, so now I am constantly on his radar. There's been a string of "Hey Esti! Why did you get up 8 times in the last 5 minutes?" comments. 

I was not amused. 

I decided to fight back. 

The Solution:

Behold! The image below is the fruit of my (and a cohort's) labors:

We snapped a photo of the view he SHOULD be seeing, printed it out and placed it in front of his Webcam. Now he sees what we WANT him to see!! MUAHAH!!

Bob sent us a screenshot from his computer:

Looks pretty convincing!

Only 1 problem.... Bob emailed everyone to ask why I've been on the phone and not moving for the last 5 minutes!! 

We may change the print out in a few...maybe with something more apocalyptic?

Yo momma is a shitty Graphic Designer!! BOO-YA!

Don't know why it took me so long to post this. I have literally read each of these like, 18,000 times - and repeated them at the most awkward places. (i.e. work, home, meetings, bathroom, to the boss).

Put your neighbor to shame with these Yo Momma's a Shitty Designer printable notepads. The file is 8.5x11 without bleed so print away on any standard printer and then just tear the sheet in half. 

Best one imo? Yo momma's so fat, she thought RGB was a sandwich!
Or .. Yo momma's so lo-res, she can't even save for web!

Btw, there is a call for entries! You got a good one? Share it!

Snookums Cat Food Tells it Like it IS!

Your cats are secretly trying to kill you.
No it's true!
1. They weave in between your legs at the top of the stairs.
2. They sit on your chest and "purr" like they're not trying to suffocate you.
3. They "play fight" by scratching the heck out of your hands - (and spread bartonella bacteria!)

Cats are evil. Which is why this is the best packaging I have ever seen. There's no "Oh fluffy LOVES you when you give him ______" 
Snookums is straight up cat food telling you LIKE IT IS.
Your cat will kill you, so you'd better appease them with Snookums.

SELF PORTRAITS OF ME AND MY BOYFRIEND ROSS.

SOMETIMES WE SIT FOR HOURS STARING AT A SEA SHELL. OTHER TIMES HE'LL HOLD ME BY THE NECK IN FRONT OF THE PYRAMIDS. BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE LIKE MORE THAN NEARLY KISSING EACH OTHER NEAR SOME HORSES. I ALWAYS TRY TO LOOK HOT IN FRONT OF HIM SO HE DOESN'T LEAVE ME.

Sad Boyfriends Make Sad Etsy Models aka SUCKERS!!!!

"This guy's thinking about Xbox."

"I guess when your hair is that colorful, you need to tone it down with grays and a sad face."

"Seething rage behind those eyes."

When Becca sent these over, I spewed green tea all over my monitor!

Urlesque has posted a WHOLE list of Girls that run shops on Etsy... who torture their boyfriends by making them models. Oh gawd it's so true! I can see the conversation now...

Girl: "Sweetie, I need a model for my stuff. Can you do it please? And act like you like it?"
Boy: (I better be getting laid for this)

Andy should thank his lucky stars my Etsy stuff doesn't need a model...

..P.S. Captions from Urlesque - it's like they were reading my mind!

Expedition to the New Chicago Tundra

After the great Chicago Blizzard of 2011, thousands of pounds of snow were removed from city's downtown streets. Loaded by bulldozers and heavy trucks, much of the snow was piled in the empty lot between our studio and the railroad tracks.

An expedition was immediately formed.
The goal; a bold assault aiming to place the very first men upon the summit of this peak. Known for their dexterity and grit, Dawson and Matt were selected for the dangerous undertaking.

This is their story.

I have been inspired to attempt to recreate another amazing journey - filming my heroic effort to reclaim our trash can from the alley. Few have known to survive.

Easter Eggs in Microsoft Products???

With such fun as the Microsoft Bear and a Magic 8 Ball!
Huh. Who knew early Microsoft was so.... almost cool!
Here's the whole list on Wiki, which we know could be OH SO RELIABLE! (not)

Buying Rabbit on Amazon Makes Bunnies Weep....

Check out this listing on Amazon for Fresh Whole Rabbit.

$43.50? It's a steal!

 Then, check out the other customer images:

Then read the comments like this one:

How many weekends have I spent, in the loincloth, knife clenched in my teeth, running through the fields trying to find a rabbit? (A bunch, trust me on this, a bunch.) All so I can have something to sacrifice on the altar once I get to the cave.

Now, with this, home, fix a cocktail, go through the day's mail, finish my drink and drive over to the cave, yank this carcass out of the box and offer this at the feet of my dark lord and master, boom, done. I'm happy, my dark lord and master is happy, everybody wins.

What a time saver. 

And this one:

I ordered one of these Fresh "Whole" Rabbits, but when it arrived its head, fur and insides were missing. Not exactly whole, I'd say! Maybe it was just damaged during shipping, but I won't be buying another one. I mean - without the long ears, how do I know it even WAS a rabbit? It was the same size and shape as a cat...not that I've seen a cat with its head, fur and insides missing. I mean, not like really close or anything.

On the plus side, it was delicious with a tall, cold glass of Tuscan Milk, so I give it three stars. That's three WHOLE stars, BTW.

And one titled: "Kill the Wabbit"

I do love me the internet. Here's the link again. via (non vegan) Jenny!
