multiplicity (work on cultural sensitivity)

• Does she like P*lack Jokes?
• I don't think so. We talked about it once. But that was a long time ago.
• Does she get mad about them?
• Nah.
• It's not like I like them or anything. Just curious. P*lack jokes are actually really dumb. Second dumbest to blonde jokes. That are actually interchangeable. Just change P*lack to Blonde.
• Yeah. I think the word P*lack is kind of funny though, even though I think it's offensive to the Polish people.
• It's like Spaniard to the Spanish people I think. I didn't understand what a P*lack was forever, but I knew the jokes like the back of my hand.
• Yeah. I think that's why I liked the word. Coz I always just had a weird image of what a P*lack was in my mind, completely unassociated with Poland.
• I imagined guys that looked like Gilligan for some reason, or even more like the little guy on Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
• Ha. I imagined a pale, bald, doughy type of clone person.
• Not even a real person? That's crazy.
• Like on Multiplicity, even though this was before its time, how each clone gets stupider. I imagined that's why they were so stupid.
• Oh. Like the Michelin Man?
• A little bit. Michelin Man's body with a Mr. Clean head.
• Ha. So Krang's body then.
• Haha. Yes. Basically, a P*lack was Krang to me.
• I can see that I guess. I did always picture them in gray mechanic- or inmate-like jumpsuits too. I don't know where that came from.
• Yeah. I don't think they ever had separate pants from shirts in my mind. Some sort of onesy.
• I wonder why that is. It is definitely dopier looking.
• I think I would really be into P*lack Jokes if that's really what P*lacks were.
• That's true. I think that's what ruined them was finding out what a P*lack really was.

) You are good at me getting a couch.
( ?. I'm not quite sure what that means. I'm pretty sure that's a compliment though...
) Yeah. And I liked the way it sounded, confusing though it may be.

delorean+garage≠good fit

) I need my Christmas bonus to be HUGE.
) We all do. I hope it's 100-fold my last bonus.
) I hope mine is at least worth a Mercedes Benz.
) Or a Delorean? Which you can just buy now.
) But it would never work in my garage!
) Hahaha. That is so true!
) It seems like it would wreak havoc in most garages. I wonder if anyone just bought one and then drove it into their garage, only to have havoc wrought.
) Drove into their garage, never to leave again because it is a prison. And they are still there today.
) I'm sure it's happened.

) Meanwhile I think I'm on the verge of getting that 27-year-old for my date.
) Aha.
) That is, if she don't have plans that night.
) Should make for an interesting night.
) If she can't make it, then surely I will be stag. Slint the shameful stag.
) Prolly not the only one.
) True.
) You should try harder as EQP. You have a standard to set. The standard of truth needs to be erected.
) Yeah, well I'm to the point now where all I want is 27.
) Did you ask her?
) No. I just met her. Finally. We hit it off nicely, but I didn't have a clear window to ask her for it. We hung out a little last night with a bunch of people, and a bunch of people at midnight wasn't a good place for me. She asked me to give the spiritual thought at FHE tonight. So I will do that, then BAM!
) Nice. You could've said, "I will if YOU WILL go out with me." BAM!
) Yeah, I thought of that later. BAM!
) I think after you ask her out, you should actually say "BAM!" Maybe wait until she says yes, though, in case you scare the crap out of her.
) Ha. I will plan on it. Maybe pound my fist on the nearest table, too.
) For effect.
) It would be sweet if I had some boards or bricks there that I could karate chop in half. For effect.
) Or just do the karate kid move, the crane? Just kick whatever's closest to you.
) Ha. This is going to be great.

merriment

) too much merriment going on around me at the office. i need to do something to break everyone's spirits so i can get some work done...
) hmm. how best to break their spirits... tell them they are ugly?
