  • More Office Fashion Fun!

     

    This would be so much fun! Unless you're at Home League. Then it would just make sense.


    Use only incorrect or out-of-fashion terms for clothing all day today. Compliment a lady on her choice of "smock" or "frock." Comment on a gentleman's 'britches." If it's a casual dress code where you work, enjoy comparing "dungarees."

  • HAHAHAHAHA!!! This one's Super-funny!

     

    Okay, this one completely cracked me up!!!

     

    YOUR ASSIGNMENT:
    There's nothing worse than the company's silver-haired elders making "raise the roof" gestures or calling employees their "peeps." Schedule an emergency meeting to discuss and suggest upper management's selective use of hip-hop terminology.

    BONUS POINTS:
    Help your bosses conjugate correctly using "-izzel" and "-eezy." Present the dangers of rhythmically challenged individuals attempting unrehearsed "cabbage patch" and "running man" moves. Most importantly, forbid them to attempt "raps" that begin with "Well, my name is ____."

    EVEN BETTER:
    Watch music videos together, taking notes and pausing for careful inspection of booties, blunts, benjamins and bling. Once your senior leaders have a solid, foundational grasp of hip-hop youth culture, make them swear never to use any of it, for any reasons, ever again.

  • OFFICE FASHION

     

    Ronalee, this one's just for you!


    YOUR ASSIGNMENT:
    Start a crazy, office-inspired fashion trend. "Pushpin earrings" and "paperclip chain belts" are just some ideas off the top of the head.

    BONUS POINTS:
    Now try drawing accessory items with pens and markers, like a wristwatch or a ring. Tell co-workers that you'll "hook them up" for a fee.

    EVEN BETTER:
    The coup de grace is, of course, full-scale, head-to-toe office fashion. Large clasp envelopes can be cut at the bottoms and attached to form pant legs. Wastebasket liners might make a smart, sheer, "poncho-style" blouse. Give it a shot. And why not put it all together, with the pushpin earrings and the ink wristwatch?

  • Wow.

     

    Here's a quote from Rep. David Wu (D-Oregon), in a speech on the floor of Congress:

    "This president has listened to some people, the so-called Vulcans in the White House, the ideologues. But you know, unlike the Vulcans of Star Trek who made the decisions based on logic and fact, these guys make it on ideology. These aren't Vulcans. There are Klingons in the White House. But unlike the real Klingons of Star Trek, these Klingons have never fought a battle of their own. Don't let faux Klingons send real Americans to war."

    (ummmm...... Yeah! Down with the Vulcans and Klingons! okay...)

  • THIS WOULD BE FUN AT DHQ

     

    This "I dare you" from my page-a-day calender ALMOST makes me wish I worked at DHQ or Command or something! And Ronalee, you know you'd totally do this with me!!! (and I think we could even convince Gentle Shepherd to give us a hand because he loves us so very much!)

     

    YOUR ASSIGMENT:
    Construct a shrine to your boss in your workspace. Cut pictures off of org charts, draw sketches, and fill a chart with his birth date, astrological sign, favorite bagel flavor, etc.

    BONUS POINTS:
    Invite your boss to attend your morning worship ritual at the shrine you built in his honor. Before he flees from your office, ask for a lock of his hair.

    EVEN BETTER:
    Add some decidedly creepy "artifacts" to your shrine, displayed on index cards with descriptions. Used napkins and plastic cutlery, soft drink cans, pocket lint - all authenticated with precise recovery dates and locations.
