Coworker quotes

[michigancat]

From another thread:

If I knew where Rusty worked, I'd pay one of his colleagues to send him gifs where "LSU just fuckingkilled it again" and ask him if wants hit up that Dane Cook show in town. And everytime Rusty didn't laugh or agree to go, he'd say "whoa, easy there, princess. We'll wait for a week when you're not on the rag."

I would actually enjoy this, tremendously. I think I've mentioned my coworker from Indiana who is just full of ridiculous quips all day. I've actually been toying with the idea of a twitter account, but that would be kind of mean. Examples:

Webster's dictionary is a third grade slangbook

China is more free than the United States

The Mayans predicted the internet

Italian food and German cars, not the other way around.

Apple is the most corrupt company in the world

Hey Indiana, you going to go watch the space shuttle fly by today from our gorgeous rooftop deck?

Nope. I've seen one before, and I've actually been in one before. At the 1984 World's Fair.

Italian food and German cars, not the other way around.

This is my favorite. it's so black and white. It's like, nope, no two ways about it. This is just the way of the world you guys. Don't be caught dead in a Fiat, and for christ's sakes don't ever eat a bratwurst.

Hey i like brats, brah.

Yeah, but you're sitting on a gold mine.

yeah. i also really enjoyed him absolutely shooting down rusty's idea of rooftop space shuttle viewing because he's already seen one. it's like "are you some kind of idiot michigan cat? i've already seen one of those so why in the world would i ever want to see another one again? idiot!"

[michigancat]

The great part about the Italian cars thing is he is mostly referring to Ferraris. I think he bought a crazy ex wife one in the eighties and had troubles with it. Needless to say I bring up awesome Ferraris whenever I can.

Yes. So good. Not only advice, but a correction.

Dropping the '84 worlds fair is pretty pimp

Dropping the '84 worlds fair is pretty pimp

He said the food there was the best part (as in better than going inside the space shuttle).

There was food from all over the world there, and it was the real stuff. I ate some Korean kim chi egg rolls that would really hit you.

Dropping the '84 worlds fair is pretty pimp

Agreed.  I mean, I didn't even know the world was still having fairs.

[Dr Rick Daris]

i still think the way he just outright dismissed the suggestion to look at this space shuttle because he'd already seen one was way funnier than the fact that he dropped the '84 fair nugget and really think you guys are focusing on the wrong thing. but hey, that's just me and that's what makes this thread so great. we each get to choose our favorite parts. potatoe, potato.

[michigancat]

the shuttle thing was really cool, too. I mean this flew right by our rooftop deck (which is on our floor) and like 100 people at work started cheering and crap. And it went right over my kids' school and I heard they all went apeshit for it too. So yeah, the whole "I was in one in 1984 so I'm not watching it" thing is pretty great.

The 1984 World's Fair featured the "Enterprise" shuttle, which never actually flew in space. It was never outfitted for space flight, either.

"Endeavour" flew in 25 manned space missions.

And he missed it.

[Dr Rick Daris]

rusty-hey indiana, do you want a thousand dollars?
indiana-no way rusty. i already have a thousand dollars. boom roasted. 

[ChiComCat]

Agree to disagree Daris.  Also, I grew up with the cosmosphere so maybe I am a bit ho hum about space shuttles. 

Also, agree with Saul that Enterprise is kind of a bullshit shuttle.

also, if you took that picture from your roof, then why does the guy in red appear to be five feet lower than you?

you're eight feet tall and he's a dwarf?
there are two roofs?
he jumped off the roof and you timed the pic just as he was starting to go down to the ground?
you were sitting on a coworkers shoulders?
you were standing on an air conditioner thing?

thats a picture from some news site, rick daris

[steve dave]

that's a pretty awesome photo though

[Dr Rick Daris]

thats a picture from some news site, rick daris

well i happen to know for a fact that rusty has a part time job working for a media site so maybe he took the picture and gave it to some of his media buddies. what now, saul?

[ChiComCat]

Rusty, I would tell him that he has only seen an earth shuttle and will never see a real space shuttle.  Let us know his response.

[steve dave]

just from what rusty has told me about this guy in the past I imagine he is going to say that none of them actually flew in space and it was a conspiracy or something.

[Dr Rick Daris]

Agree to disagree Daris.  Also, I grew up with the cosmosphere so maybe I am a bit ho hum about space shuttles. 

Also, agree with Saul that Enterprise is kind of a bullshit shuttle.

so the guy that grew up near the cosmosphere wants to wax like he's some kind of space shuttle expert? i've really seen it all now. might want to stick to just talking about the packaged dry ice cream that they used to sell in the gift shop because really at the end of the day the cosmosphere is a complete joke and not even a good one at that. like a knock knock one or something but with the punchline not even making sense.

knock knock
who's there
chicat
chicat who
chicat plays with dogs

get it? i mean it doesn't even make sense. dry packaged strawberry ice cream? give me a break here.

[Saulbadguy]

wow, rick daris, that's 18 years of NASA knowledge you will NEVER have. You should go in the back and kill yourself for that one...
