SpiceQuest: April, the cruelest month

MarkT94:

I once pulled this on our Safety guy. While he was out “Safety-ing”, I pulled all the castors of his chair (hid them in his desk drawer). I put the chair up on wooden blocks. I created a “Have you seen me?” milk carton flyer with a picture of one of his castors and posted it on his cork board (next to his chair). Later that afternoon I came in to say high and he told me he was having some issues with his chair. I walked around to look, and with a straight face, said: “Wow. Rough neighborhood.”

Love it. We are getting some great prank stories in here.

Big Green Man:

Does tagging Dan ‘Glom’ Atchley count?

If it doesn’t it should. Well played.

April Fools Prank: I really don’t like to make people feel bad, so I aim for making people laugh instead. My favorite prank so far was targeting a coworker whose desk was covered in family photos. I printed out about 50 Bruce Willis heads in various sizes, cut them out, and pasted them in place over every person’s face. I also stuck one under the mouse. It took this person 2 months to finally remove the last Bruce Willis head because it fit the picture so well.
Cheese Weasel: I will dedicate the cheese to my dog, who can only catch Milkbones 50% of the time, but who can catch a slice of cheese 99.99999% of the time. Bonus: a dog meme I made for UUUM.

Haiku:
Four day weekend here
From ice crashing down on us
Vacation time gone

Good stuff. And I liked the Bruce Willis head prank… agree that making people laugh is infinitely superior to making them feed bad.

We tricked one of our users (they actually tricked me) at work by plugging in an addition wireless mouse. User went bonkers when the cursor was moving all over the placeand random tabs were opening and closing. I’ll leave it up to you guys to try and imagine how the user reacted hehe!
I dedicate the slic eof cheese to MegaC333 as he’s the biggest cheese lover in the office.

Haikus are the worst.

No, really. They are the worst.

Worst poetry form.

Big Green Man:

Haikus are the worst.

No, really. They are the worst.

Worst poetry form.

Discrimination

Against poetry, no less

I feel sad for you.

And, seriously

Limericks and unrhymed rants–

Did you consider?

A haiku is a

Bumper-sticker sized message

Expressing beauty

Not always of course

Sometimes they are just silly

You made an effort

A great one at that, but still

Haikus are the worst

That’s okay, Big Green.

Haikus don’t like you either.

But I like you both.

I think possibly
We’ll agree to disagree
Suzanne, you’re cool beans.

April Fools jokes - On April 1st, I like to check the ‘new’ items available on ThinkGeek. One year it was a ‘sound effects’ T-Shirt. It became so popular they turned it in to a real product, which I promptly bought for my then teen-aged son. I wish I could have followed him around for the next few weeks. I heard he was very popular everywhere he went, like Raj on Big Bang Theory when he wore his sound effects shirt.

How do I recover files with .tabufa extensions.
I thought about stopping by Bweber93’s workplace and giving him a piece of cheese but I got lazy… so here’s a virtual one for him instead:

I welcomed this lad to the community after noticing his first post O_o

How do you make ergonomic device purchase decisions? Best Practices & General IT

Hey Spiceheads! I had a meeting with a mortgage advisor recently and he was complaining that he had repetitive strain injury from overuse of his mouse. It got me thinking… how do businesses solve this problem? Is this an IT issue? Is this an HR issue? Or more often than not, is this an issue you take into your own hands (pun intended) and purchase yourself? I’d be interested to know peoples experiences from a business and personal level. When purchasing an Ergonomic Device for yourself or oth…

Nice use of “glom,” and…

Thanks for anticipating

That I would complain.

Although you could have

Avoided complaint by just

Editing instead

Which leads me to think

That your real goal was trying

To push my buttons.

Dennis5701:

April is the cruelest.

More cruel than poetry.

I think Haiku sucks.

Aw, sweet. You remind me of my days teaching poetry to tech-heads. Yours is 6-6-5 on syllables instead of 5-7-5, but almost as good as this one from an old student:

Crap, crapity crap.

Crap crap crap crapity crap

Crapity crap crap.

… I figured you would appreciate it as much as I did.

April is cruelest.

Suzanne says my haiku sucks

I think Haiku sucks

Suzanne says wrong form

I fixed the problem now

Haiku still sucks bad

drewkaraniuk · 2019-04-25T18:08:26.000Z

Some Haiku’s:

Ordered lunch today
How come it is not here yet
I’m getting hungry

People calling us
They are looking for Target
Sorry, can’t help you

The server is loud
fans sounding like an airplane
time to replace it

Upgrade P R I
Caller ID messed up now
Who is calling me?

Baby on the way
Almost time to take time off
not taking your calls

Dennis5701:

You and Big Green are

Peas in a pod on this one

Although you are wrong.

Haikus and other

Poetic forms encourage

Thought, focus, beauty.

As I said to him…

Haikus don’t like you either.

But the world moves on.
