At least this alibi beats the old standby, "I swear this sh*t ain't porn!"

Yesterday a co-worker of mine asked, "What's that page? You've been looking at it for hours!" I'm just glad I wasn't looking at Vagina-Jam or Poo Power. |

Rather amazingly I have, occasionally, used the 'bakery for legitimate work reasons. The sheer volume of research that 'bakers do in order to come up with many of the links throws up some quite useful little nuggets of information. So, no excuses necessary. This is all completely legitimate use of work time. |

//I have, occasionally, used the 'bakery for legitimate work reasons.//
for example? |
|
|
Just for retrieving odd bits of info that I remembered seeing on a 'bakery link and had to have a rummage through the site in order to retrieve. Nothing very earth shattering. I can't remember the precise details, the last time that I did it was some while ago. |

Sounds like you're in the denial stage. The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. |

[julien] Terrific ... and timely. I should be somewhere else "as we speak" |

[WorldEngineer] The 1st step to recovery is to avoid 12 step programs. |

For me! Sheesh. TODAY I am playing hooky. Double sheesh. |

Yes, on a Saturday. The labor market info center is open on a Saturday. I am looking for a way to find a job that will allow me to, without formal credentials to hide behind, kick some rather sorry asses like ... . Maybe working as a receptionist, research assistant etc. in a decent union or for a responsible politician, etc. |

I love the way you (TUS's) delete things that make you look mean & stupid (and as a byproduct make people wonder what I'm talking about - or is that equal opportunity fun). Is there a way to change my stuff too! This is the second time it seems possible this was done. Some of you are such class acts. |
|
|
TUS's? Is that like ROUS's? |
|
|
My convincing alibi? I pretend that I'm NOT on the Halfbakery whenever a boss walks by. I keep an official looking document on an open Word window so I can flash it on the screen just as they pass me. But I'm pretty sure that I am not fooling anyone. They must've seen the bun in the top corner a hundred times. I'm just glad the background color isn't pink, or peach, or minty green... |
|
|
TUS's -The Usual Suspects. That revolving band of malicious bullies that pop up more than I care to think about. |
|
|
You yourself have popped up six out of the last nine annos. And you've shown your malicious side. May I add you to the TUS's? |
|
|
Ah, then I will add you to the ROUS's. : ) |
|
|
ROUS? Please, what is ROUS? |
|
|
Rodents of unsual size, as I recall. |
|
|
<slaps head> Of course! <wanders off muttering "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" in a spanglish accent> |
|
|
moggies (even that one) are not rodents.. whats that about then? are we waiting for therat? |
|

Apparently, k_sra you are unwilling (or perhaps unable) to discern the difference between a decent citizen shooting a marauding intruder and a maruding intruder shooting a decent citizen. |

Awaiting the obvious (I'm even feeding you the straight line) cheap spin on my analogy. |

P.S. Do tell, WHAT WERE those 6 items. |

potato potahto marauding maruding. [:)] |
|
|
Thanks (I've changed it). |
|
|
love AND kissy kisses ... the cat. |
|
|
My money (what there is of it) is on ME. I am fiercely honest and relentlessly persistent. Do the right thing and fear nothing. Or rather, feel the fear and do it anyway. |
|
|
The cat doesn't have a problem with The rat (that I know of anyway - yet!). TUS's definitely, k_sra possibly. Be mean,dishonest, or sneaky -- get called on it. Oh, that reminds me -- all the links stink. |
|
|
Now all that's needed is someone called 'TheBat' and this off-topic thread will never end. |

My excuse: "I was lifting that croissant jpeg for the Lloyds leaflet. I think it denotes life insurance, and the need to protect the future of ones loved ones, to a tee." |

[renboga] did u know, according to the theories of evolution, that all the mammals evolved from rats. well not rats specifically, but small rodents that inhabited the earth back in the day ("back in the day" meaning millions and millions of years ago) |
|
|
//all the mammals evolved from rats. well not rats specifically, but small rodents // nah, we all evolved from pigeons. |
|
|
Could you tell us Mr. Darwin why we werent equipped with tails for all, to whisk away flies or whip a horse while riding? Evolution didnt give a rat's ass. |
|
|
[po] Where I come from a moggy is a mouse or other small furry rodent or a gnat. We understand that most people think that they are cats (incorrectly of course) so only use it to other leithers. |
|
|
TheRat came back, the very next day... |
|
|
a moggy/ie is a cat, round these parts, stranger. usually a scavenging, alley cat. |
|
|
That should do it. I'm sure they got the message, since they're watching everything you type. Oh, and they wanted me to let you know there's something in your teeth - it's really bugging them. |
