Hey! Remember the '80s? For those of you who no longer watch Saturday Night Live, that would be a quote from it. . .and oh my God, I can't believe I've just quoted something from the current Saturday Night Live! Well, you can rub it in at another time; right now it's time for this week's winners.

There were some themes this week. One was identifying yourself with pop culture from when you were a kid. This made highly for engaging conversation. I won't share the other themes because you *really* should have been reading *every* post. 6 tokens to ChrisMLT for knowing who Bo and Luke are.

Subj: No longer a kid
From: ChrisMLT
You know you're no longer a kid when...

Just one peanut butter and jelly sandwich doesn't do it anymore.
Driving a car doesn't always sound like fun.
The average 10 year old doesn't have a clue who Bo and Luke are.
Being bad is no longer cool.
You have friends who have kids.
Saturday mornings are for sleeping.
You are taller than the slide at the McDonald's playland.
Your parents jokes are now funny.
You have once said, "Whatch-you talkin' 'bout Willis?"
You have owned, and since disowned Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Christmas starts to grate on you.
You'd rather wear your dirty clothes again, 'cause Mom is not there to wash them.
Two words: Parachute Pants
Naps are good.
Hitting girls is no longer considered flirting.
You no longer do the "pee pee dance".
You have once deemed Space Invaders as "the best game ever".
When things go wrong, you can't just yell "do over".
Old Pro Ballplayers are younger than you.
The only thing in your cereal box is...cereal.
You actually buy scarves, gloves and sunscreen.
Your idea of fun parties now include chips and salsa and snapple.
You leave ballgames and concerts early to beat the crowd.
You WANT clothes for Christmas.
You don't want a Camaro because of the insurance premiums.
You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny.
You've bought an album on vinyl.
You remember seeing Stars Wars when it first came out.

Oh God, I'm old!!

Don't Forget To Stop And Smell The Roses!! -->-->--{@B
WATCH OUT!!! That one has a bee in it!!!

[One of the less recognized themes of the week was PaulCrash's dream. I wouldn't try interpreting it, but 5 tokens to PaulCrash and 5 to ARTochsen for the reply.]
Subj: Dream
From: PaulCrash
I had a dream that I was chosen as the winner of the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, but since I am not home most of the day, they had to surprise me at night. I heard a rustling outside and saw figures moving in the darkness, so I got a shotgun and started shooting. I found the PCH guy laying in the bushes with his nice blue PCH blazer and he was clutching that big check with MY name on it. I was so embarrassed. I woke up before the
dream was over, but I guess they would have disqualified me anyway for killing one of their prize patrol people. Rules, rules, rules.

Crash (20 and counting)

PCH Sweepstakes. Kind of like the lotteries...your chances of winning are just as good if you don't enter.

[Abazar P was complaining that a certain NordicTrack post would win tokens this week. Well, yep it's getting 5--so is Abazar P. Although I now understand that this post isn't all that original, being a female I never saw it before.]
Subj: Re: GOING POTTY IN PUBLIC
From: Abazar P
Another point about restroom etiquet is the buffer stall. Some men do not understand the proper procedure for urinal usage. For this reason I will make up the urinal etiquet quiz. This exercise shall prove to be fun and informative for both men and women.

Question One - the easy one

1 2 3 4 5 6

Stall one is occupied - which one do you chose?

Answer: 6 - you want to get as far away as that bastard as possible. This will also come in handy if another man comes before the first one finishes.

Question 2 - A little harder

1 2 3 4 5 6

X X

Stalls one and six are occupied - which one do you chose?

Answer: Either 3 or 4 would be appropriate answers. This provides the buffer stall that is necessary.

Question 3 - Not much harder

1 2 3 4 5 6

X X X

Stalls one, three and six are occupied - which one do you chose?

Answer: 4 - Although you don't have a buffer with the guy in 3, it's better than being sandwiched between the other two.

Question 4 - This one might be tricky

1 2 3 4 5 6

X X X

Stalls one, two, and five are occupied - which one do you chose?

Answer: 4 - believe it or not this is the only correct choice. An answer of 1 would give a wall but it is incorrect because it would "couple you" with the guy in 2, and we wouldn't want that now would we?

Question 5 - You're almost there

1 2 3 4 5 6

X X X X

Stalls one, three, four, and six are occupied - which one do you chose?

Answer: none - You get the hell outa there. Go pretent to comb your hair in the mirror or wash your face or something, but you wait till someone is done.

Thanks for playing. You can make up a scoring system if you really need one. If you're a dumbass - don't use the urinals when I'm in there. I hope this has been fun and informative for all. I justify myself making this quiz despite my efforts to counter all quiz making because this is stuff that just needs to get out. Please use the restrooms with care, and have fun.

Abazar P

I know you are, but what am I?

Once, I swallowed some gum. It was on the bottom of my shoe.>>

This just reminds me. Yesterday, at school, my friend and I found a bag of caramel corn on the floor in the hall on our way to Latin. Then she ate the whole thing during class when we were supposed to be studying. It was pretty gross. This guy in our class kept saying that some freshman could've gone to the bathroom, not washed his hands, eaten out of it, and some of the corn could've fallen back in. Ew. I would've eaten some, too, since I
probably have those kind of germs all over me, anyway, since the soap at school doesn't kill anything, but I wasn't allowed to. And she wouldn't share with me, anyway, even though I had touched the bag first.

"If you look really closely, it looks like the molecules are smiling. Actually, I just made that up. But it's probably still true."

*Operators are not actually standing. They're sitting really. Some of them are even lying on sofas and various other pieces of furniture we keep around the office. Last week someone brought in a futon. This brought much delight to the other operators in the office because, as we all know, futons are actually better for your back. Speaking of backs, I've been having some pain in my lower back.I went to the doctor, but he said I just needed to
relax a little and watch some TV. So I rented "Throbbin' Hood". A VERY good film. I highly recommend it.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I had no tokens. Then I met a man who had no sense of humor at all, but he had somehow acquired 250 tokens in a month. So I beat him up and took his shoes.

TOCA's RUN FOR TUNA MARATHON DIARY
DAY 1 - KISS THE BIG APPLE GOODBYE, KISS A PRETTY GAL HELLO

I awoke early this morining and donned my new outfit, glow in the dark spandex (it's ok, i'm not fat) and my T-Shirt which reads: "SO WE KILLED A FEW DOLPHINS, SUE US!"
I ran out into the street and began running. But alas, no tuna being thrown. I guess that's the problem with only advertising on the Random Game. So i'm hoping you guys can do a better job at spreading the word.
So, I'm running along Manhattan and like all the cars are trying to run over me and i got those darn Animal Right Activists on my tail cause they read my T-Shirt. I got a lot of hits in the head with objects that have nothing to do with TUNA (how disappointing) but i kept them anyway cause I figured some of you might want some of these neat things which came close to knocking my unconscious.
So look at the list and take what you need:
3 nerf balls
a scrwdriver
wrench
popcorn
an onion bagel
a hammer
dead cat
a few pairs of panties

______Toca K. Disco_______________
Pet my ferret.

[Toca in spandex? I haven't seen a picture of Toca, but I still find that an interesting image to imagine. Anyway! The big winner this week is Mardamor. Although a newbie at the Random Game, Mardamor has already been compared to the likes of Carcazoid. (You really need to read every post...) So, 10 tokens to Mardamor. And now a sampling: ]
Subj: Week 1, Day 2
From: Mardamor
Man, I'm really starting to like this game. What a bunch of wacky, zany people. Just my type. Typing is not my best thing. I was typing a letter to my grandmother and I forgot to proofread it. Poor grandma. She must have read that letter 15 times before she passed it around the nursing home. All the seniors there started complaining about their eyes. Finally the nurse took the letter away from grandma. Then she called me and chewed me out for
playing pranks on old people. I couldn't get a word in edgewise. Anyway, now I proofread everything. And this game doesn't suck.

Subj: I can't believe it's not butter
From: Mardamor
Well, actually, I can believe it's not butter. What I can't believe is that they used that trained gorilla Fabio in a commercial. I mean, who's gonna buy into the concept that this guy can even talk, much less count the change necessary to buy a dairy product substitute. I could see using Lou Ferrigno, or even Rowdy Roddy Piper. At least these guys don't pretend to be anything other than what they are: big, dumb money grubbers. The powers that
be would have us believe that this Fabio is some kind of romantic genius. Right. Like he doesn't have someone to make sure his shoes are tied before he goes out. It's really beyond me. But then again, I'm not an expert. Just a critic.
