Skip Got a Face Lift!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Ok not really, but The Skip Report™ got a little bit of a redesign (which you probably noticed, unless you use an RSS reader). There are still a few issues that need some tweaking for those of you usingInternet Explorer. Skip, you look better than ever!

Meanwhile, Bruce steps forward to accept his prize…but the crowd was bewildered cause his pumpkin was unoriginal and dumb.

Awesome Grandma

Our controller Shirlee was at her grandson’s 8th birthday on Monday. Instead of going the route of traditional grandma presents (socks, sheets, sweaters, and other things kids find boring) she gave him a tiger salamander and all the necessary accouterments to ensure a long happy life (these things live up to 15-25 years!).

Her grandson’s friends all agreed that Shirlee would be dubbed “an awesome Grandma.” Grandma’s of the world should take notice and try to live up to the example set by one of their peers!

Pygar in da House

Luke as Pygar

I turned around from my desk this morning and found a visitor from Barbarella. Seeing that Pygar is blind, I’m a little leery of the designs he’ll be cranking out for us today while visiting. Luke, for the firms sake, I hope you’re back tomorrow!

Happy Halloween!

For whatever reason youtube videos don’t play for the folks using internet explorer, so you can either use Fire Fox or just check out the video here.

It will really help your Halloween spirit.

Gross…

Monday, October 29th, 2007

It should be noted that on the way to work this morning I saw a large man stand up and pull down his pants to his knees to adjust his soggy dingy underwear. What about the bus makes the guy feel comfortable enough to do this? What was chaffing him so bad? Why didn’t I throw up? These are questions that I will never know the answers to.
