Dedicated to the premise that life would be better if we all took ourselves a little less seriously.

This is what happens when I'm bored
In order to survive a brutal two hour all staff meeting yesterday at work, I attempted to walk through this entire film in my head, one quote at a time...it sure as hell kept me entertained, so I figured today's filler might entertain you as well:
TJ...You might want to pick things up. Your annual G:TB performance review is coming up soon and I'll be sitting on the committee this year. I wouldn't want to have to put a letter in your file.
So my office has a view of Boston's North End, the harbor, Logan Airport, Eastie, Charlestown, etc. It's a fantastic view. But I'm also right above Faneuil Hall, a hideous tourist trap full of street musicians, acrobats, gypsies, etc. Some jackass street musician has played the fucking pan flute all day long. I'm going insane listening to the fucking pan flute. It's impossibly annoying. I'd rather listen to static for hours on end.
Matt Lauer was reporting from Faneuil Hall this morning. A friend recently escorted his boss to the Today show to be interviewed by Matt and described Mr. Lauer as a "Grade A knob job."
I urge you all to take a few minutes out of your day, go to the Washington Post's web site and read the recent two-part story about the murder of Robert Wone.
He was murdered almost three years ago, and police are still trying to piece together what happened. It's an amazing case that's tailor-made for an NBC Dateline story at some point.
In case anybody doesn't know the name, he was a 1996 W&M graduate. I didn't know him personally, but I know he ran with the "over-achieving W&M" crowd that was highly represented in places like Phi Beta Kappa and Swem Library.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he never took a vodka shot from an iceblock at one of our Alpine parties.
what does this have to do with honda?
ReplyDeleteNow that's a joke for two...
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I sure know how to spark conversation...
ReplyDeleteSpark conversations, no. Spark other stuff...

ReplyDeleteAs long as the letter is written on smokable paper...
ReplyDeleteFloyd smoked the letter.

ReplyDeleteSo you hate Yanni?
ReplyDeletezamfir, dummy.
ReplyDeleteGeez, my bad, I messed up the master of the pan flute...

ReplyDeleteDid that turn you on, Geoff?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's Matt Lauer out there blowing the flute. It's insufferable.
ReplyDeleteMatt Lauer is a handsome man, I'm not gonna lie.
ReplyDeleteAll this talk of Matt Laurer blowing stuff is too much for Geoff. He's gonna need a cold shower soon.
ReplyDeleteA cold shower with a bunch of dudes.
ReplyDeleteThank you...we'll be here all week.
ReplyDeletenice start for the u.s. in costa rica. guh.
ReplyDeleteMarvell Wynne's gotta be related to the former Tidewater Tide of the same name, right?
ReplyDeleteyep, his son. the younger marvell was not looking good in the portion of the match i watched before i fell asleep.

My wife lived on that same block of Swann Street when that went down. Its very strange--that is not remotely a high crime neighborhood.
ReplyDelete"Calm down ma'am...."
