Vrian Sinth Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:11 PM To prevent snoring from getting you in trouble, you need to keep your head close to the computer so the fan drowns out the noise!! Either that or put the scotch tape to good use!IP: Logged |

But oh well. This place is growing on me. I guess it's time I get out of the pool huh? Hey Q, JS , and Suitor!! I'll be right up just let me dry off. There, properly dressed in Jedi Knight robs (Luke style) ... Ready or not hear I come. After a graceful crash into couch of ObiwanCrushers using the Force for soft landing.

QASM Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:27 PM Oh we have this student working for us in the lab, and of course she waits until we're completely out of stuff to tell me we need to order it (cuz I do all the ordering). Just makes me mad, so I grumped at her a little.But I feel so relaxed since I sucked down another electric lemonade, and now that Suitor's back to strike up another flick. 1/2 hour to go....

gundark Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:30 PM THX is in England. i hope he still isn't at work. i was in the middle of trying to break into our executive washroom. someone lost the key and doing some PR work for SWMCMMJ INC. spoiler ! Captian Panaka thinks the Hutts are gangsters IP: Logged |
Darth Tater Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:39 PM Cool! co-pilot! Anyone want to come for a ride? "Be mindfull of the nap, but not at the expense of the posting." Sincerely, Your EmperorIP: Logged |
C Creepio Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:39 PM Guys! This is not SW related but it's so funny I have to tell you. There's this new lady at work that looks EXACTLY like Tootsie! The hair, the glasses, the clothes, even the voice! She's so fun to look at because I have to keep telling myself, "That's really Dustin Hoffman."Spoiler: R2-D2 meets 3PO for the first time.

Darth Tater Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:43 PM The funniest billboards are showing up on this thread. One said "quit your day job" and another said "earn money working from home!" Funny stuff Sincerely, Your EmperorIP: Logged |
Shimmergloom Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:44 PM Hey! When is Natalie coming over to clean me!?! I should be rewarded for being well put together, and a good slacker. Spoiler: Padme cleans R2-D2 in TPM. R2 seems to enjoy it too. Lucky droid. IP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:45 PM Oohhh, EDT. I think will start going by that, too bad I live on the west coast. Maybe I'll just use it as quitting time. No that's a good slacking idea....IP: Logged |
Senator Binks2 Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:47 PM QASM -- sounds like your intern's a slacker. No supplies... no can do work.IP: Logged |
QASM Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:49 PM Yeah TarynS...almost there!Hey can I still slack from home? Oh jeez I keep forgetting to add in my spoilers: Sebulba almost kicks Jar Jar's you-know-what. Q IP: Logged |
Dara Starscream Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:51 PM Jesus, I head to the Outer Rim for a few days and all hell busts loose! What happened?Meantime, back to the slack. -Starscream IP: Logged |
QASM Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:52 PM Nah Binks2, there's a difference between being a slacker and a moron.Q IP: Logged |
gundark Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:54 PM there are currently three slacker orginated threads at the top of this fourm...it looks like we are all hard at work slacking.impressive, most impressive. stock options and company landspeeders will soon be standard benefits of SWMCMMJ INC. VP of slack operations Gundark... spoiler the negotiations were short ! IP: Logged |
Dara Starscream Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:54 PM Oh, and spoiler for the day . . .Mind tricks don't work on Toydarians. Especially junk dealers. -DS IP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:57 PM Q,Thanks for that clarification. I know a lot of people who might think of themselves as slackers, and they are just morons. We could do work if we felt like it, we just don't feel like it. They couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. Plus they all seem to drive in front of me on the way home from work! Spoiler: Han Solo is Indiana Jones! IP: Logged |
Darth Tater Member | posted 07-28-1999 03:59 PM I keep forgetting to put TPM related stuff into my posts, so here goes: Padme is an angelIP: Logged |
Intrigue007 Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:10 PM How is this for slackin'? Last week I closed the door to my office and hung up a DO NOT DISTURB sign and watched the the enitire tiliogy at work. I spent a good part of the next day figuring out how much money I was actually making for watching each episode. Spoiler: Does Mace Windu's light sabre say "Bad MotherF*****" on it? IP: Logged |
Senator Binks2 Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:13 PM Excellent point QASM, I stand corrected. I'll have to remember that "no supplies" gambit, though.Maybe the REAL key is to seem very productive while at the same time doing very little. It's a fine line. IP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:16 PM Intrigue, that rules! Bringing the Slack to new heights, I respect that. I think Mace Windu repeats some Bible verses before he slices them up. By the way since his sidekick was Yoda in TPM, does that mean Yoda fills the same role as John Travolta did in Pulp Fiction?New Spoiler; John Tavolta = Yoda IP: Logged |
Shimmergloom Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:17 PM I'm still Dirtyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.C'mon I can't clean myself, that would be unslacklike. Where's Padme? IP: Logged |
C Creepio Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:17 PM A big pile of actual work just landed on my desk.Like I'm ever going to look at it. *Darth Maul dies at the end*

Vrian Sinth Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:28 PM Obi Two, I say those of us on Western Time and Mountain Time quit at Eastern Time like you said. Good Slackin'!!I think you might also be able to use paper clips somehow to help the snoring. Sound good? Shimmergloom, Natalie can't come in right now, but Carrie Fisher says she'll bath you! *SPOILER*, C3PO's parts are showing!!

Shimmergloom Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:38 PM <I must be cleaned by Padme. She did such a good job last time. I'm afraid my Motivator may go bad if anyone but Natalie cleans me.>The above was translated from beeps and clicks of the astro droid language. Spoiler: Yoda has cooler ears than Spock. IP: Logged |
Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:43 PM Paper clips for the snoring? Not a bad idea, much better than thumb tacks! OK, since it's almost 5 on the east coast, I'll top aorking for the day, oh wait! I haven't worked all day anyways. I guess I will just increase my slacking efforts (is that an oxymoron?). Hey do we have a bar set up in here some where? Or just a kiddie pool full of beer? (Ahh, college memories! )IP: Logged |

QASM Member | posted 07-28-1999 04:47 PM I just want to reiterate a point made many times on this thread (and others):JEDI SOUL IS DA BOMB!!!! I come home from a crappy day of working (mostly) to a swell EwanCard. Made my day! Well it's about time for the bachelorette's dream dinner...Velveeta shells n cheese. Maybe I'll use the Jedi Mind trick at the ol Winn-Dixie.... <waves hand> You WILL take this check Payday is Friday, drinks are on me! Q Mini-spoiler...some of those Ewoks were puppets. IP: Logged |

Obi Two Member | posted 07-28-1999 05:04 PM Creepio, it's just a homage to all of your great slacking leadership. Any one who quotes Strickland from Back to the Future is stonrg with the Slack. You have passed the trials and deserve to be called a Slack Master (and an admin).IP: Logged |
