The Circle is Complete

Mr Sleep · Post by **Mr Sleep** » Thu Jan 17, 2002 5:14 am

Yesterday in a bizaare act of vandalism i pulled the arm off one of my former toys, what i must explain about this act is that i already pulled it's other arm off when i was 7. At the point when i pulled off the arm that was left i said.... "And so, the circle is complete".

Has anyone else got similar stories of cool statements applying to mundane situations.....okay i am bored. Does anyone have anything bizaare like this?

All the time.

My boss was trying to do a powerpoint presentation after I showed him what to do. He failed in the exact same thing I had done and asked how come I was able to do it but he couldn't.

I turned and said "Your powers are weak old man."

Whenever someone asks if anyone would like to do/have something a bunch of us start leaping with our hands in the air saying "Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick meeeee!"

Similar to Grunt's situation, mine is computer related. Whenever users on our network are struggling with the simplest of tasks, I help them out and finish with, "Here endeth the lesson."

We have a department in our building that can't retain work-study students. It seems like they have a new crop every semester and we rarely see the same one twice. Our theory is that the departmental secretary (who is, shall we say, not a very nice woman) runs them off with her big mouth and bad attitude. One of my co-workers and I have taken to calling this department's work-study kids "red shirts" and if one of their kids comes up to drop something off, as soon as they leave, one of us will say something snide like, "Look, Captain, it's an . . . agggghhhhhhh!"

Shrek rules.

If people stop paying attention to me I usually do something like this:

"So you can see, whilst Access is not the preferred DBMS, its availability on most workstations and ease of use is more than enough to outweigh potential problems caused by legacy systems... <can see people beginning to microsleep> so then I ate some rotten berries, that was some serious gas leaking out of my butt that day."

I usually answer my girlfriend with "You're heading in the right direction for a smacked bottom."

In the business of media buying, we constantly are buying and cancelling bookings. Those that we cancel are called "Voids", and we credit our client the amount shown. I typically approve these when our accounting department brings them to me. The other week, an error was made, and they were looking for a scapegoat, and they came into my office looking for the inappropriately approved Voids. My response to them, as I gently waved my right hand & fingers in a circle in front of their faces?

"These are not the Voids you're looking for."

@ Foul,

LMAO!! that's awesome. Did they follow suit and reply, "We don't need to see his identification. These aren't the voids we're looking for. He can go about his business. Move along Move along."

Ned: No, actually, they looked at me vacantly and said, "Oh, thanks." These accounting types are supposed to be nerds, right? And nerds like Star Wars, right?

Whoa, the word nerd looks funny, doesn't it? I don't know if I've written it before.

Well, it's good to know you've had more luck with the Jedi Mind Trick then I've had lately... It seems police are just too damn set on finding out who lit that damn firecracker!

Yelling at my Ceramics teacher with Lisp...

"Yeah I thlipped and thkorred the pietheth together, I'm not thupid!"

Started a whole trend in my class to make fun of the lady... I feel bad for her now...

But it was a funny statement in front of a mean teacher.

Hmm...well, I have a tendancy to purposely use "wrong words" to throw people off.

Example: Instead of "okey dokey" I say "smoking doggies."

can't think of anything else right now.

I just have to ask, was it the right or left arm that was left?

Sometimes when my boss comes to my office to bother me with some brainless beancounting he has to cope with a stonefaced reply from the Film "HIGHLANDER" -

(I don't know the Original text - I'm just translating from german to english now)

"Holy ground, Highlander, HOLY ground! "

(The scene happens in the church when the evil guy meet McLeod in there...if I remember correctly..)

It has become some kind of running gag between us over the years now....because as a reply he looks at me sternly and says "Be careful, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE !"

No worries,

Beldin
