Cosmo, the Tiefling Dong.So is it safe to assume Cosmo is the Rodney Dangerfield of Paizo?I prefer to think of myself more like "The Teflon Don", actually...
I read "The Tiefling Dong". Time for bed, I think. As a side note, Gary is my hero.
At the risk of being quoted. Yes, this week, I locked my keys in my car. While it was running. :|
I've done that before myself. The wife was not happy...

In high school twenty minutes from my parents house at 3 am with the car in the middle of the street. Good thing this was before cell phones when house phones actually woke people in their sleep. Mom brought the spare set of keys.

I knew a guy who was always leaving his keys in his car unlocked. It was a POS car, so no one ever stole it, but his friends liked to hide it and watch his reaction when it wasn't where he left it.
I don't think that means what you think it means.On Talk Like a Pirate Day it should have read 'Master of Booty' :)I just noticed Chris Self's new tag! Master of Coin is very cool.Thanks! I'm pretty proud of it. =)
Ewww?

Sounds like you and I had VERY different childhoods. :POh man, that kid is in it DEEP. Sucks to be him (or her).What? It's only a $10 charge. I always retorted to punishments of this sort with "at least it's not crack."
Are you saying yours was full of crack? If so, what comparison did you provide to lessen your parents' rage?

Okay, that was pretty good. I'm glad it's the end of the day here at work, because my laughter was actually audible.
No, my rage-assuaging comparisons were more like "at least I got all the dishes done". I'll leave the actual "offenses" up to your imagination.

That means it was porn.
Vast quantities of porn.

You mean you do not give the credit card to the kid because the mom is crazy and will end up spending all the money. I would be in deep trouble if that happened.
I know I had a wierd childhood.

I'm only 27, TYVM.People still pay for that in this day and age?

That was back before the internet.
Jiggy was paying people to paint it on the cave walls.
The internet only started gaining popularity about 20 years ago, an there are still caves today.
It could have happened :P
Sara Marie: gary/ross/lissa if you need to shut the door so as not to have to listen to cosmo training please feel free.
Gary: is that what cosmo's doing?
Gary: hard to tell the difference between cosmo working and cosmo enjoying the sound of his own voice...

I read it as a "shark cannon" ... had this mental image of some strange contraption with a top slot to accommodate the dorsal fin ... and wondered if sharks and bears were naturally antagonistic to one another.

Blue Chris: So...our banking rep had one of her assistants call me to schedule a phone meeting.
Blue Chris: She then emailed me about details about that meeting. And called me yesterday to clarify the details.
Blue Chris:...why the heck does a call need to be scheduled when I have easy access to her?
Gary: what no followup email?
Red Chris:did she supply an agenda too?
Gary: i'm afraid this agenda is lacking a cover sheet
Crystal: What about a biography? Was there a bibliography?
Red Chris: table of contents? cliff notes?
Sara Marie: annotations?
Gary: i'm going to need an index
Crystal: Points off if she didn't sign it
Gary: and a glossary
Red Chris: and an appendix
Gary: and can we get the powerpoint in advance so we're all on the same page?
Gary: i require my agenda in bullet point form with a preceding summary and a postscript describing the points to be covered
Blue Chris: I might just copy this down and email it to her.

*HILARITY SNIPPED*
We have a few new guys in our office who are used to a much more strict and rigid style of task management than what our job normally entails, and one of them is having a tough time adjusting to a more free-form environment. I'm seriously thinking of sending a copy of this post to him with a note that says, "THIS IS HOW WE TALK ABOUT YOU."

(There are a lot of campaigns being played by Paizo staff. This particular one is being run by Blue Chris, and the players all work for Paizo in various capacities. They play online via d20Pro and Skype or mumble or some such, and I can only ever hear what Sara says as I walk past. So I declare it counts as overheard at the office.)
Sara, in character: So, do you have any plot points for us?

To put this in context:
Druid: Blah blah blah blah Look I have a gorilla! Blah blah blah I want to tell you about the terrible things happening to the city but I don't trust you yet...
Tiyan: Yeah... we're on a tight schedule here.. So.... do you have any plot points for us?
