  Bored at the office?

Someone sent this to me today and it cracked me up.


Feeling bored at the office? Looking for something new and exciting to do? Why not initiate an office dare system - however to do it properly only you are allowed to know the dare. Sound confusing? Well read on..........

ONE-POINT OFFICE DARES
1) Run one lap around the office at top speed.

2) Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other non-player' must be in the toilet at the time).

3) Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.

4) Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."

5) To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and Grimace.

6) When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, "Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good!".

7) Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way".

8) Walk sideways to the photocopier.

9) While riding in an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.


THREE-POINTS DARES
1) Say to your boss, "I like your style" and shoot him with double-barrelled fingers.

2) Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it".

3) Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).

4) Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle(there must be a 'non-player' within sight).
5) Shout random numbers while someone is counting.


FIVE POINT DARES
1) At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).

2) Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.

3) For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Bob".

4) Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do a number two".

5) After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in "The report's on your desk, Mon". Keep this up for one hour.

6) While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator.

7) In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!".

8) At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again".

9) In a colleague's diary, write in 10am: "See how I look in tights".

10) Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask "You wanna trade?".

11) Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now".

12) Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it".

13) Posing as a maitre d', call a colleague and tell him he's won a lunch for four at a local restaurant. Let him go.

14) Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc) during a very important conference call.

15) Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.

16) Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.

17) Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit, smash each biscuit with your fist.

18) During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.

19) Arrange toy figures on the table to represent each meeting attendee, move them according to the movements of their real-life counterparts.


And if that wasn't enough for you...
How to keep a healthy level of insanity:
1) At lunchtime, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hairdryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2) Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

3) Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

4) Put your rubbish bin on your desk and label it "IN."

5) Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

6) In the subject field for all your e-mails, write " FOR SEXUAL FAVOURS".

7) Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy."

8) Don't use any punctuation

9) As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

10) Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.

11) Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

12) Sing along at the opera.

13) Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

14) Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.

15) Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.

16) Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard.

17) When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won! I Won! 3rd time this week!!!"

18) When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling, "Run for your lives, they're loose!"

Hey everyone...

It appears there is a major problem with the tracker - too many things going wrong for me to list. I will try to get it fixed this week, but I think it may drag out into the weekend, when I can dedicate a couple of hours to solving the issue.

Until then.. please bear with me.

Damn, only one Canadian date so far. Granted this is only the first leg, so maybe they'll do something like they did in 2001 where they played Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. I certainly hope so. Otherwise, it looks like I'll be heading to Vancouver on the 28th.

From U2.com:

March 28th San Diego, CA - Sports Arena
April 1st Anaheim, CA - Arrowhead Pond
April 5th Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
April 9th San Jose, CA - HP Pavilion
April 14th Phoenix, AZ - Glendale Arena
April 20th Denver, CO - Pepsi Center
April 24th Seattle, WA - Key Arena
April 28th Vancouver, BC - General Motors Place
May 7th & May 9th Chicago, IL - United Center
May 14 Philadelphia, PA - Wachovia Center
May 17 & May 18 East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
May 21 New York, NY - Madison Square Garden
May 24 & May 26 Boston, MA - Fleet Center


Tickets for performances in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia and San Diego will go on sale this Saturday, January 29th.

Tickets for performances in Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Jose go on sale this Sunday, January 30th and tickets for New York and East Rutherford go on sale next Monday, January 31st. (All additional on sale dates will be announced in the next few weeks.)

Once again, U2 will offer General Admission floor tickets giving fans the best view in the house for the lowest ticket price. Reserved seat tickets in the stands will also be available. In North America, general admission floor tickets will be $49.50 (plus applicable service fees). Additional ticket prices will vary per market.

  Have Not Been The Same

- Replies (19)

In the 2000 Syracuse show, Gord introduced ABAC with "this next number is called Have Not Been The Same"

I'm trying to find the origin of this name? Is it the name of, or lyric from, another song by another artist? (For example, I've also heard him introduce ABAC as "You Can't Be 20 on Sugar Mountain" -- Neil Young reference.)

All I can find on Google is this book: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1550224751/002-7516868-1696012">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 68-1696012</a><!-- m --> The book looks interesting and I even thought of buying it. Anyone have it?

Obviously there must be some relation to Gord's introduction and the book, but is there more to it, or is he just plugging the book? The book seems to have been released in 2001, a year after the show (?)

  The Frames (Irish Band)

I did a search, but only a couple posts even mentioned this band. I heard them for the first time the other day while in a store on Yonge Street in Toronto. I immediately had to ask the cashier which CD it was, and she directed me to an Irish girl working in the back. She seemed proud that someone was recognizing the music (probably her favourite band).

Anyways, these guys apparently sell out 30,000 seat stadiums in Ireland, but very few people in the U.S. or Canada have heard of them....almost as if they're The Hip of Ireland. I haven't gotten any of their cds yet, but you can stream the songs off of all their albums at their official site, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.theframes.ie/">http://www.theframes.ie/</a><!-- m -->

They have a really unique, cool sound to them. Kinda remind me of Radiohead mixed with Sigur Ros at times, and they have a violin player thrown into the mix.

So, if you haven't heard of them, definitely check em out.
