How about the story about my buddy who was reported to HR by some lame gal for farting too much?

gro will not stand for having his nostrils assulted at work. You can call it second hand stank (because everyone like their own stank, it's science). Don't know why HR would have to get involved just tell the guy he stinks.

Garnet is also a big fan of Entourage.

Many of U89's friends love Entourage as well....U89 HATES the show.  U89 sees the show as the epitomy of everything that is wrong with todays society....that and the NBA slam dunk contest.

Mason, OH - A man wearing a woman's wig and a string bikini was charged with taking a drunken afternoon romp through a park, officials said.
  
Steven S. Cole, a 46-year-old volunteer firefighter, told an officer he was on his way to a Dayton bar to perform as a woman in a contest offering a $10,000 prize, the arrest report said. His blood-alcohol test registered 0.174, more than twice Ohio's legal driving limit of 0.08, the arrest report said

Speaking of farting, WTFF and I were out at this beach grille last night having dinner, outside, and next to us was a family with grandpa joining them.  LD11 heard this big loud kinda soft loose sphincter type of noise.  WTFF looks at me and says, 'Yes, what you were just thinking, that's what it was.'  Apparently the old guy made a face too and just let it flabber out.  NASTY!

Also nasty...Dice-K...

here's the brief version of the story.  so basically our company is cube-ville (except for the most senior execs).  this gal is a recent college grad from the midwest and my buddy is a SVP.  keep in mind that according to dr's we (both men and women) pass gas 18x during a 24 period.  he works pretty long hrs so a good portion of those 24 hrs are spent at work.  anyway, apparently this gal makes a complaint to our employee relations - as in, this guy who sits near me keeps farting and it stinks.

another side bar - this guy is a cancer survivor and former d1 athlete who helped start a company with a bunch of buddies and teammates from college that was eventually acquiured by the one we both work for now.

anway, the ER person forwards to our HR rep who in turn calls my buddy into a meeting.  they play phone tag a couple times and when they do talk, he says she should just come by (she doesn't say why they need to meet).  she refuses and asks that he meets with her at her office behind closed door.  so he goes ahead and walks over to her office (which has a closed door - apparently for important conversations like this one).  so after getting over wondering why he needs to meet with hr in the first place, she begins the meeting, embarassed as hell, trying to dance around the question to ask him if he has a medical condition or something (my buddy is doing the best to refrain from laughing during this whole time) that has caused this "issue".  she then requests that in the future, that he go into the men's room if he thinks he's going to "you know".  he looks at her, laughs and says "every single time?  you've got to be kidding me".  he then gets up and leaves her office.

anyway, he leaves the meeting and goes to tell his boss (who is also a best friend from college) and they have a huge laugh over it. 

of course, now every once in a while, he comes to work to find little air freshner trees on his computer monitor - courtesy of his boss (or other co-workers who are also buddies from school).

JT would find a reason to fire this gal or make her quit, life is too short.  JT hates most recent college grads:

1) Technology is cheap - they've gotten everything they've ever wanted.

2) If they aren't athletes, they don't know how to lose, how to lead, or do something for the good of the team - these are the a-holes that had games in which no one lost (everyone ties) and they got trophies for 5th, 6th..... place.

JT has had to deal with "creative" people at agencies this week.  All flash and no substance. Bunch of flunkies that don't realize the printed sheet ain't gonna be as bright as the image on their Macs.  JT wanted an A12 today.  He would have saved the US from having to deal about 10 wastes of space.

Happy easter tp all LL'ers from spiedie!

Bman one had to approach a co-worker (because HR would not), because one of his employees was uncomfortable that he was "Adjusting himself" in front of her....

When Bman watched him closely, this guy "adjusted Himself" about every 2 minutes....!

That was an awkward conversation to say the least....

Reminds JT of the Turkish carpet salesman in Istanbul.  Short fat dood, bulging eyeballs (a total chick magnet) ... he wasn't just adjusting, he was massaging, digging, rubbing... THE ENTIRE TIME. The funniest thing was that JT kept pointing it out to FMJT.  JT thought FMJT was going to yack.

"turkish carpet salesman"  sounds like something you would find on urbandictionary.com  along with certain rusty band instruments.

Persian/Turkish carpets are money if you have some knowledge.  Bought 2 nicely designed carpets for $1,600. Much higher appraisal value in the States about 3x-4x (what US dealer will pay).  The Euro is ruining travel for Americans.  Turkey was still on their Lira.  It was the only really shopping bargain in "Europe".  Turkey is trying to go Euro in 2009. Triple that $1,600 then just to buy in Turkey, and less upvalue when you get home.

The upvalues in 2006 had JT feeling like Reg with a waverunner to sell.

Maybe if the US $ wasn't ****, but JT doesn't see that changing any time soon against the Euro or Pound.

Istanbul is a trip, isn't it JT? I was cruising the markets in Istanbul myself a few years ago. Ended up shipping 4 carpets home, they still look good adorning my hardwood floors. Spent a day in the market and the mosques, then finished with a Turkish bath, then headed downtown. The entire population of Istanbul must go downtown at night. Some kid, about 10 years old, with a shoe shine kit and egged on by his friends, chased me around wanting to shine my beat up, dirty Topsiders that were as old as he was. I finally relented and he said I could pay him whatever I wanted. So I peeled off a several  thousand liras from my wad (the equivalent of 4-5 bucks, and boy did his eyes light up.
The Turkish bath was quite the experience.
