Everybody knows Sebastian cheats.
He should, or else he would be a terrible lawyer.
Waaaait! Gary never said that!
That you know of.

Someone, in the other room: "Are we not blaming Cosmo?"

It never ceases to hack me off that it's socially acceptable for an adult to say "Math is hard" and yet if they said "I sure do have trouble with reading and writing" folks would look at them strange. Math(s) (I'm British) isn't hard - teaching maths in a way to inspire kids to learn it rather than giving them a life-long phobia of it does seem to be though.
Sorry, pet raw-nerve touched. I've ranted about this on the BBC before now. No offense or personal attack intended.
Reading has a lot more room for error. You can misspell most things and still have the word understood, and even if the word is missing or you misread it the context will let you know. Math usually results in 1 number on its own.
Also, i suppose the English equivalent would be "I'm a horrible speller", which passes without comment the same way math does.

I think that's the problem - make a mistake and you are wrong, no room for debate. We've conditioned kids to think that wrong is bad. But wrong is learning.
I always say that I'd like to recruit engineers that have made every possible mistake once already, but none twice.

You have a good point. I might create an OTD thread for this so as not to derail further.

Chris: You should ask other evil people in the office.
Chris: See if they have any leads.
Megan: That would involve interrogating everyone but Vic...

And that, folks, is how you identify the new hires.Chris: You should ask other evil people in the office.
Chris: See if they have any leads.
Megan: That would involve interrogating everyone but Vic...
Or she recognizes that you have Evil Mastermind credentials and thus are pointless to interrogate.
Gary: Let's make fun of Cosmo!
Lissa: I can't make fun of Cosmo. I don't know enough about Cosmo to make fun of him!
Gary: It doesn't require much.
Ha, Cosmo is always good for a laugh!
Gary: Let's make fun of Cosmo!
Lissa: I can't make fun of Cosmo. I don't know enough about Cosmo to make fun of him!
Gary: It doesn't require much.
<Makes a note of who has (as of the time of this post) favourited Cosmo's post>
You have favourited a post with three asterisks in it and only one speech mark. For conspiring with Cosmo in his crime against sound punctuation, your names will be noted (alongside his) by the clerks of the nine Hells.

Ross Byers: Good idea.
Chris Lambertz: are you saying you have a problem with bringing back the bomb?
Cosmo: not at all
Chris Lambertz: because I'm having a war party over here
Cosmo: I was just implying that I can take hte unseemliness up a few notches if you would like.'
Megan Armezzani: please don't
Chris Lambertz: there is very little that is more unseemly than GWAR... so I have my doubts
Cosmo: ...perhaps you are not familiar with the works of the artist known as Peaches?
Chris Lambertz: I'd link a picture, but HR would beat me up
Cosmo: click this link. I dare you:
Cosmo: I'm familiar with GWAR
Chris Lambertz: so you know about the cannons?
Cosmo: The cannons, or the cannons?.
Chris Lambertz: both
Chris Lambertz: at the same time
Cosmo: right
Cosmo: yes
Cosmo: and the goblet that the dude and drinks, then .
Chris Lambertz: and people being ?
Cosmo: right
Chris Lambertz: and the encore?
Chris Lambertz: the encore is brutal
Cosmo: :D
Chris Lambertz: well, you're Cosmo

My immediate first thought was to consider selling aural armaments to both Cosmo and Chris in an ever-escalating spiral of Mutually Assured Distraction.
...
I think I'm slipping fully into Chaotic Evil, aren't I?

You know it might be unfair to Gary that you get a lot of favorites in this thread for things he says. ;)

Me: That could go on the "Overheard" thread.
Cosmo: What? The '**REDACTED**'.
Me: No, when Pierce said '**REDACTED**'.
Cosmo: Yeah, I don't think I need that on the Internet.
