Mrs Kool tore her rotator cup in her left shoulder last week so I have been a little scarce this week dealing with Doctors, tests and scheduling surgery. Thanks to all who helped with the QOTW suggestions. :)

Um... I'll show you mine if you show me yours?
Life is like a box if pixels ... ya never know what color yer gonna get.
Hugepixels, welcome! People have told me that I, too, have "huge pixels." If you know what I mean...and I think you do...
When i first looked at the title of this thread i did not see "ear."
Now that i realized i was mistaken, i don't know what i'm doing in this thread...
So, if it was Muff Day you would've been in here why?
Oh. Wait. That's not something dirty is it? I don't want to know what it is. I made that mistake one time asking Drorain why tea bags were so funny. Haven't been right since.
Unfortunately, Times New Roman has become so ubiquitous a font because of its default nature that it can't help but be perceived by the trained eye as a hack font, sort of the blue eye shadow of font styles.
Morea has more posts than there are atoms in the universe. Jupiter Media had to instal a special trans-dimensional storage server just to cope with her posts
Well, you're wrong! I am not defensive! This thread is actually about me isn't it; what do you all have against me, anyway? Whatever it was, I'm sure you all started it. I guess there's no point in mentioning it, but you're all losers that are never supportive of your fellow artists. If you think I've been hurt at all, then you're all wrong! You can't hurt me! And I deserve better than what I'm getting from you guys! Maybe I'm an awful person, or maybe I'm just not cut out for this business. Yeah, right, whatever. Maybe if you were nicer, my work would be better. I have had about enough, and I'm outta here for good, since I don't wanna hang out with losers anyway! Maybe you could all learn a thing or two from my work!
It's all George Bush's fault! All of it! The fact that you guys won't accept my work is because of George Bush!
Too long ago to remember (and not even 10 years yet)
I think I took Eating II, Being eighteen 101 and Advanced Sleeping VII.
I can see it, its pretty subtle - but detectable. Maybe y'all needs to git yer monitors checked.
Personally, in the interview setting, I could give two sh*ts what someone's hair looks like, as long as their attitude is professional and they've got crazy good skillz. But...
Whenever I see blue hair, I cant help but think of the phrase "blue-haired comic freak" - you know, the uber weirdos you see at the comic book and gaming conventions - the ones sporting Klingon masks or dressed up as their favorite "character". If you showed up to an interview with blue hair, and I was doing the interviewing, I would expect you to produce nothing less than a matching set of polyhedral dice from the dice bag secreted in your cleavage. A deck of Magic cards would be acceptable too, but they better be good. Then I would grill you on your knowledge of Star Trek TOS. The answers would be recorded to a sheet labeled TK-421 and filed with your resume between the feats and skills section of my players handbook. Then I would get a polaroid of you and me together which would earn a place of honor next to the polaroid of me with Vampirella at Comicon '99.

Print lots of colorful - and especially STRANGE things and hang them EVERYWHERE.
Here are some examples of things I have done. (Yes, really.)
Draw little eyes on paper. Cut them out and glue them to your stapler. Name him. Talk to him. And when other people visit your cubicle, demand that THEY say hi to him. This works well with other office supplies, too.
Develop bizarre conspiracy theories. I actually made up a brochure about how corn was an evil alien substance that was bent on taking over the world and destroying humanity. It circulated the office for a while and people asked me if I was mentally ill. I'm not sure that I convinced them otherwise... I didn't try very hard.
Tell stupid jokes. What's green and looks like a bucket? A green bucket. What's brown and sticky? A stick. Things like that. And use lots of puns. People love to hate puns.
Finally, spin around in your chair until you think you could throw up. Don't ACTUALLY throw up - people don't like that. But after all the blood has rushed to - or out of - your head, take a pencil and start brainstorming. It works.
it really works though!!! People think that you are a harmless eccentric, which is great.
one time my boss gave me a hard time, so I crawled under my desk and told him that he was mean and I wasn't coming out until he went away.
He went away.
He looked confused, too.
generally, they tell you.
After the "corn" incident I actually got called into a meeting with management. It went something like this:
Mgr: "Uh... some people are concerned about your obsession with corn. You know that it's really just a vegetable and that it can't take over the world, right?"
Me: "Yes. It was a joke."
Mgr: "Oh, ok. That's very funny. I'll let people know that they don't need to be concerned with your mental health."
Me: "Well, at least not as it pertains to CORN."
