I am bored off my ass...
I just got back today from a little mini-vacation to the see parents and despite the fact that my body is in the office my head sure as hell isn't.

I should be working on a presentation I have to do next week. I should. But I'm not.

So...who wants to take a turn keeping me entertained? :)

Ok. I didn't get enough sleep last night to decipher that one.

What got unzipped and what hit the floor, pray tell? :evilgrin:

10. I unzipped the pocket of my polar fleece.
A big bag of chocolate fell out. I was going to share.

What did you think it was?

No, never mind. NO SEX THREADS!

2. Heh...too bad you weren't in the office yesterday.
DU's downtime would have been the perfect time to get a bunch of stuff done at the office. I got tons of little piddly crap done yesterday. My desk looks a lot better, too. One pile done. :7

I told you I could entertain you, and asked you if you wanted a German lesson.

Do you want me to paddle you for the rest of the afternoon, or ask you for the rest of the afternoon? Your modifier wasn't dangling, but it was a little vague. B-) ;-)

If you do your job right, I should get my ass kicked on that game. :)

No. Holts maul by itself means shut up. The Germans do make some awfully long words though by stringing a bunch of them together. You can have a whole converstion in like five or six very long words!

Now, BENT OAFER!!!!

I've retained that because it was shouted at me excessively by my German instructor.

and play the text-only adventure game of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy from the early '80s. OK. You have to be beyond bored, but there you go.

37. I think you have to get out of bed, open your eyes
get your robe, check the pocket, take the analgesic and other stuff and get out of the house asap, before they knock it down. That's all I remember. Of course, you could just google a full solution if you wanted to cheat.
