You know it's time to leave work and go home when... your coffee inexplicably tastes like fish.

I can explain...

I was trying to slip some of the blue one into your coffee, when Adrian went whistling past (literally - he's been whistling DixieGal ever since she made crazy-eyes at him...and I mean crazy!) and bumped me, inevitable knocking what was next to the blue one into your coffee.

If you think feeling drunk is bad, imagine what it feels like to that fish (and before all the harrumphing little Hitchhikeroids jump on that, yes I blatantly plagiarised it, but if you piss me off with your pedantic, there-was-no-humourist-before-Douglas-Adams-esque preciousness I'll go back in time and have Montsnmags Enterprises prepublish all of Mr. Adams books in 1970 but authored by a 14yo Mel Gibson, and by about this time you won't be so farkin' proud of them then, will you?).

BTW, g'day, nomesque. Nice to meet a fellow Queenslander (and, as a BTW to the BTW, I lived in Ipswich - Amberley actually - for 3.5 years, from school years 6 to halfway through 9). Can I get you a (better tasting) drink, before bedtime?

Cheers,
Randomly MC, Barman, CEO, and invisible-gibbon-whisperer,
Marc

Whew! Drink-spiking! I feel like I'm 18 and stupid(er) again. W000t! Stupid(er) was kinda fun, except for all the stuff I didn't see coming. Except most of that hit when I was 19 ;-)

So, monts, did you enjoy Ipswich? People seem to. Inexplicable, but hey, who am I to talk, I drink fish. Maybe I need a Falcon and a few beer bottles. Or maybe I'm just in the dodgy end, and all the classies never come near here. Right? Anyway, sounds like you've traded up. I mean, wanna swap, you must be missing Old Swampy??!

Hmmm... Amberley - Air Force kid?

Drink? Dear God, yes. Sleeping tablet in lemonade, side of strychnine.

I prefer to call it Mind Expansion Surprise! (TM). Besides, you agreed to it, later on when I take you back to five minutes before you wanted a coffee and I ask if you'd like one. You even signed this waiver here, see? All above board, or at least legally binding.

That's the way. People always knock the foolish, but I'm aiming to grow into the greatest Fool the universe has ever seen (and been governed by the cruel fist of). A man's gotta dream, like a gibbon's gotta defenestrate.

I did enjoy Ipswich, but, really, it was Amberley I enjoyed. All the old RAAF married quarters are gone now. I remember Ipswich "city" itself as Ipswich hospital, and also P-platers doing lappies in their V8's of the main shopping centre block (which I think burnt down at some stage). Of course, this was in...'81-'84. Things might have changed.

As some old Liverpool bloke once said, it's been a "long and winding Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"...or something, before getting here less than a couple of years ago. Most of my life was in Sydney and its 'burbs. I do want to get out to Amberley, and take a photo of where my house isn't and only grass is.

We prefer the term, "RAAF-brat".

I see you've been perusing my drink cabinet in the creche. No, the adult's cabinet is over here...in this lead-lined safe, guarded by angry squirrels with tasers, with the big "GEFARH! POISON! CONTAINS ZCD INGREDIENTS!" sign surrounded by flashing lights on the front. Trust me, it's perfectly safe.

Cheers,
Marc (this post contains five words making up a lie. Guess which three!)

Okay, it's going on 12, and so I'm off to bed before the midnight oil starts blowing through the hindbrain and getting it all sparkly and boomy. I'll no doubt end up coughing myself awake every 10 minutes until a cup coffee attached to The Loved One wakes me up tomorrow morning, 'bout 8:30am.

WDE, here's the keys to the liquor cabinet, and some nuts for the squirrels. Keep folks well-lubricated while I'm gone.

Cheers,
Marc (Do I trust WDE with they keys? Of course not! That's why it's so FUN!)

Goodnight Marc, I hope you feel better in the morning.

[Grabs keys, heads immediately for the adult's lead-lined cabinet safe ignoring the squirrels and the sign "GEFARH! POISON! CONTAINS ZCD INGREDIENTS!" surrounded by flashing lights on the front.]

Would anyone like a refill?

Have you signed your waivers? (As if that matters.)

Then again... being a hotdog might not be so bad. Being slathered in tomato sauce and mustard...?

Tsk! Mind, get outta there!

yes, a berliner is a pastry. not a hotdog. at least not in Berlin or the US

Reyben · 08-11-2009, 03:55 PM

...I am posting on a forum thread.

I'm sorry, couldn't resist. Probably won't be able to resist doing it in future, either.

Now here I thought a "Berliner" was a doughnut.

Neither of these opinions bode well for people who come from Berlin.

And we hope you won't (resist, that is).

Looks like lemon curd to me (or to my imagination...)

I will have to suggest this to our facilities department, who have problems getting people out when it's time to shut up the office
