...Taz, newly arrived and back on duty, notices 3 new dart Boards stacked on the bar. Well... I guess all we need now is some darts! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Now where to place the dart Boards? Knowing the patrons of the establishment - he places them as far from the bar ( and fish tank ) as he can! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

That done, he looks around and notices:
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">OK. Now the customers are making CRANK calls. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Taz shakes his head and resumes his post behind the bar...

Well if there is a games room starting up. Tesco brings in a air hockey game and a bubble hockey game. Canada vs Russia vintage 1994 one.

Something to think about

A subtle but apparently widespread corporate practice came to light earlier this year when the family of a deceased Wal-Mart warehouseman in Texas learned that the company had taken out a $64,000 life insurance policy on him, naming the company as beneficiary. Companies often buy policies for their top executives, but so-called "dead janitor" policies are usually purchased in secret, as tax dodges. Critics say that such companies lose the incentive to make their workplaces safer if they stand to collect on employees' deaths. Wal-Mart purchased about 350,000 such policies but canceled them this year after the practice was exposed. [Houston Chronicle, 4-16-02]

Trajan steps into the cantina, after havng angered his wife on his way out the door to his job. Pulling up a stool at the bar, he makes his usual request for a cold Bass Ale, and begins to plan a way out of the hole he fell into with the wife this morning.

---Hmmmm a dart board....now that might a good way to work off some steam.

Well, now that we have some games, where's the music? I hear the Xiati can use their mechanical "enhancements" to create some interesting synthy new-age kinda stuff, the Drushocka tend more towards drum-heavy punk, and the EEE have been experimenting with synethesia stuff (you know, sound being experienced as light and vice versa).

Besides, I've got Elvis and Jim Morrison back in my time machine, and they're getting bored without an appreciative audience... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Mac walks into the cantina for his morning usual high diatetic breakfast, notices all the construction work going on on the west side of the cantina, upon asking one of our lovely FBW whats up, she tells him, they are adding on an addition to expand the game room portion of the cantina. He strolls over to the area in question, and sees 3 delux dart Boards set up along with a player sign up sheet on the bulliton board along with a Cricket Team Roster sign up. hmmm, he mumbles, as he signs up on the Dart player sign up sheet, he also notices an extensive new sports TV system with 5 large monitors being installed on the walls, alright he exclaims, he walks back to his table and indulges drinking his orange juice waiting for his food and sees the Taz, who is looking better then yesterday, dragging a air hockey game towards the new addition and watches him as he places it near the new bubble hockey game. He also notices Trajan sloshing down some strong spirits and who is talking with Director Tsaarx, something about Elvis joining a Drushka and EEE spacial blues band,....???, his breakfast is served by his favorite L. Hurly look a like, sits back, waves to The Paladin who is at his usual table, notices the milk saucer still next to the bar untouched, waves, settles back to gorge himself and watch ESPN on one of the new monitors while watching Puke, during the commercials, try to turn the crank on a funny looking phone while reading what appears to be the 101 Phongs Head Joke Book.

relaxing mac

a classic at work today.

A newsletter from the states with a canadain spin on it sent out to everyone in north america.

Here's how it starts

QUITE BREEZY (hey) – WINDS EXPECTED TO REACH ABOOOT CANADA

Our early warning indicators were not that far off. We had predicted that our xxxlocations up north would be scheduled for .....

It goes down hill after that.
So typical. If your gonna slam someone at least take the time and effort to get it right .

Just posted this because some one here should get a laugh out of it.

Geo observes all the commotion going on around him and wonders if they will install any video game consoles. This thought sends him off pondering a deep thought...

What if instead of game consoles we installed some LAN'd pc's? And then for the pc's we could get some really fun games. Maybe a 4X strategy game set in outer space in which we would all play the parts of galactic Emporers leading our mighty empires across far flung star systems. And then if we had questions or wanted to compare strategies we could ask them in the forum convienently provided by the distibutor of the game. But serious discussions about the game all the time wouldn't be fun, so occasionally we could open an off topic thread in that forum and pretend to be weary galactic emporers spending our off hours in a great intergalactic cantina...

At this point geo's head imploded.

Geo,
I once again find myself explaining what I think is so funny.
Edit: That is: explaining to my co workers.
By the way:
What do you mean, "pretending"?
