So I just had a chance to get caught up and it's like the whole thread complexion has changed! It seems to read entirely too much like TTWND 1. Except for the Ann and Janet comment, which was good! Paul, I'll take Ann, you've got Janet. Make mine another double!!
Uuuggghhhh. Feel sick. Ate too many martini onions and Doritos. Paul, didn't you check the expiration date on those things? They don't mix well with scotch. Heading over to the rainbows and puppies thread to throw up, then to Orientation to talk about benefits. That should make a good impression on our highly impressionable new staff.
I found the prankster who's been using my Forum password to post all the weird comments under my name today. I've referred her to the EAP (me, if you are keeping track) for counseling. If you don't hear from me for a while, it's because she's monopolizing my time with all her issues.
I'll check in later to see how you all are doing without me. Please save me some snacks.
I feel tagged team by Ray and Mini-Ray (HRQ). I need a sidekick. Who will be my huckleberry?
Jim - not to get technical but "This is thread that will never die" that you are referring to is actually "Thread that will never die II". It was started by Moon who has since dissappeared and was a copy cat of my original "TTWND".
The original "Thread That Will Never Die" is located on page three of the HR DE HAR archives. It has 305 posts and over 3,000 views. Its distinctive feature is total absence of any intelligent discussion.
These threads should not be confused with other human resource forum gimmicks such as: fake bars, old jokes that get reposted, haiku contests, and make believe rock bands.
There is another human resources forum where the participants pretend to get into a hot tub and drink alcohol. Sometimes they have "wardrobe malfunctions" and touch eachother innappropriately.
I have never wanted to start anything similar over here on HR HERO because I dont want the mental image of an oiled-up Ray A in a pair of clingy speedos easing himself slowly into a crowded jacuzzi.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-15-07 AT 03:28PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Holy shmoly, I think I'll stay here. We've got enough excitement already. I've got some spare safety pins and duct tape just in case any threads pop on your outfits.
Paul, I just realized nobody has offered to be your sidekick yet. allsteaks seems to be the type to HAVE a sidekick, not BE one. I'll put out the word and see what I can rustle up for you.
Maybe if you pay enough, I'll just take on a second sidekick job. Does it come with any perks? Ray a sends me weekly bonus checks, old scotch, and pays for my daily psychotherapy sessions.
I don't mind being the sidekick. That's why I offered to take Ann Coulter so Paul could have Janet Reno! O the sacrifices us sidekicks gotta endure. But now I'm curious about the lack of sidekick fringe benefits that apparently are commonly provided on other threads.
It's all about picking your "boss," allsteaks. I like to let mine think he's in charge, as you'll notice by my subtle manipulative moves. A good sidekick should be able to spot my effectiveness from miles away.
A good sidekick will also manage to negotiate cool benefits such as mine, while performing hardly any actual work.
(Ray a has no idea what I'm up to. SSSHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh.........)
Hey, you may consider HRQ to be my sidekick, but I see her as my partner, thus the cool benefits she receives. She's an important part of the team. But, that's OK, you've got Allsteaks.... can you say, Brokeback? Have fun, boys.
Now Ray, isn't this a "don't ask don't tell" forum? Outting people belongs on that OTHER thread. Then again, over here we ARE equal opportunity offenders...
All I know is, "I wish I knew how to quit you, Son of the Thread!"
Coffee, here's Paul's own words, "This new thread is uninhibited, unrestricted, uncensored!" So, I guess outting is OK. Paul's just jealous because he has absolutely no musical talent.
Ray, I AM nice!!! You guys bring out the wonderful side of me!
I once heard a quote that said something like, "Charisma is the ability to tell someone to go to hell and actually make them look forward to the trip." Isn't that great?
Sidekicks - isn't that like Gabby Hays, Tonto, or Slim Pickin's? Tonto always went into town first and got the snot beat out of him, Gabby and Slim always took care of the chuck wagon - where the bottled liquids were kept strictly for medicinal purposes. Other than Tonto I seem to recall that shaving and having teeth were optional. Of course Batman had Robin... but then we're back to wearing costumes with tights.
Whatever. As long as he doesn't renig on our current compensation agreement and is open to renegotiations at my whim, I'll stay loyal for as long as he needs me.
For a small fee, I'll let you come up with new and interesting combinations of insults and I'll stick up for you when others complain. That's the kind of sidekick/partner I am. I stick up for Ray all the time.

What fake bars?
My patient needs me. I'll be back in a bit.

Ray has always teetered on the dark side. Lately I fear he has succumbed to the temptation of its siren call.
