What started it:
The Big Boss quoted:
"We aim to please." .........Charlton Heston, NRA
I said:
P.S. Rick is quoting the president of the NRA? - use a pun, go to jail.
D:
Yeah, I'm sure Rick knows ol' Chuck Heston is one of my heros. I think (my old boss) made me take his likeness off my wall in the office, though...
Me:
If someone in Stats can have that guy from the "The Practice" plastered all over her office, I don't see how Charleton Heston could be offensive - though I suppose it could be seen as a political thing. I personally have Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls and various Dragonball Z
characters liberally sprinkled over my desk and walls.
D:
Office decor has not been an issue in the post-Doyle days, but they did tell us at training that offices are not considered 'public spaces'. Although if I were going for the cartoons, I'd have to go with Spongebob Squarepants and his starfish pal Patrick, since Beavis and Butthead were
cancelled.
Me:
Spongebob is pretty darn righteous!
"If nautical nonsense be something you wish,
then drop on the deck and flop like a fish!"
I mentioned I watched Spongebob at lunch the other day and K. said I could be excused because I had small children. "Oh no, I watch it when the kids aren't around," I said. From the look she gave me, I think she was thinking of a therapist she could refer me to.
D:
I've had my share of people look at me kinda odd when I have brought up a cartoon anecdote. I guess I'm not fully in sync with my cohort.
V:
I'm thinking that K. doesn't have the same odd sense of humor as the rest of the lunch crew. I've made a few jokes to her too, and I've gotten that "huh" look before.
Me:
Not all of us are slightly insane.
I guess I am waaayyy out of sync! Hoo-rah for being the cohort outliers!
Why is it that some people think if you're past a certain age, you should no longer have fun watching cartoons? I think they tend to be the same people who are skinny because they just "forget to eat."
