Was that your typo or your source's? Because it's unintentionally funny in context, NTTAWWT.

Who the hell is Ramon? And is he drinking champagne as well?

I'm going to go ahead and say what I'm sure has been posted already: He must not have been that brilliant, then.

girl-drink-drunk
any male that gets drunk on what would be considered a girl drink (cocktail, champagne, wine)

Nathan loves to eat Ramon and drink his champagne while watching TV; he is a girl drink drunk.
The fact that he goes down on Ramon should have given it away.

Could they please get the number of hyphens in the phrase right, please? One. No more, no less.

And, I'll never eat Ramon noodles again without thinking NTTAWWT.

He likes to eat Ramon? Are you sure the "girl" part isn't referencing something else?

(Edited to add: shit, beat out by three others. Slipping . . .)

Is that in the ethnic foods aisle? Next to the salsa and menudo?

Of course. I come in late, and I can just say "sorry, my wife . . . " and shrug, and everyone nods understandingly. If you walk in and and try it with "my husband", they're all just going to think you're late because you got laid.

Really? In my office, everyone rolls in late like some hungover college student except me. It's a goddamned curse being an early riser. You don't get face-time credit for the 2 early morning work hours no one else observed, so you either work 2 hours longer to match the face-time of the latecomers and waste your own life, or leave on time and get screwed at work for 'not being there'.

I leave.

This brought to mind a conversation I was having with some colleagues the other day. We were talking about our sundry children's reactions to Lord of the Ring. My son is crazy about it and keeps pestering me to buy him a gold ring.

One guy said how his daughter asked him if his wedding ring was from Lord of the Rings, because it looked like it, which caused yet another guy to say, "Well, mine may as well be from LOTR, as it has the same effect on me. My one ring certainly rules them all." (He said it in a funnier way -- and I now realize that this isn't very funny in the retelling, but now that I've typed it all out, I'm sending it anyway. I'm sure Atticus or Shape Shifter can re-work it so it's funny again...)

This reminds, I thought there were two points to yesterday's poll -- wasn't it not just the most inappropriate things a professor did to you, but also the most inappropriate thing a BOSS has done to you?

Anyone?

my guess is that their reply of "namaste" factors in that the goodness in you has been decreased in connection with your current lie.

I first heard the phrase in 1991 in episode #302 of Kids in the Hall. http://barbkith.net/episode.htm I just thought I'd work Dave's corner for a while.

Bullshit. The partners all get in at the crack of dawn and leave early to kiss their kids goodnight. It's you "early riser" (read: kiss-ass) associates like you who give us normal 9:40am folks a bad rep.

If you cannot sleep later, go to the gym and run errands before work.
