i seriously cannot comment on this thread until at least scott tells the story, then i'll fill in the cracks.

no, he wasn't there for the finale, but he was intimately involved in the spark that started the whole situation.

i'm still too high on the silliness of the whole thing to give a comprehensive retrospective.

josh's shoutout definitely contributed to that, also. thanks, hoss.

like i said to josh, it's a heck of a lot easier to stand up when you know you've got backup.

ok, i will say that i can't believe he repeated it, twice.

fool.

New forum rule:

It is henceforth illegal to allude to such interesting happenings without actually telling the story, because it leaves everyone else in suspense, waiting to know exactly what happened.

Scott: Give us (or at least me) some insight.

On the origin of eves, and the decent of man:

So it started out like any other conversation with moustache, upstairs in Leep's office. A new xbox mod had come to our attention, and we were playing around with the idea of trying it. Its not like we were riding the clock or slacking off, we were simply takiung a break from the monotony of the union. Anyway, at some point in our conversation PC walks in. (You guys should have seen this part coming) He walks into Leep's closet and starts messing around like he is looking for something that obviously isnt there. Although odd, at the time I didnt think anything of it, we werent hiding anything, simply talking, door open. Well, as the story goes, PC leaves Leep's office only to return to his and call Leep at home to determine what exactly this "Xbox project scott and james were working on" was all about, and of course, howcome he knew nothing of it. Now sit for a second and think about the absolute

"absurd, balmy, bizarre, cockeyed, derisory, eccentric, fantastic, fatuous, foolhardy, foolish, goofy, half-baked, harebrained, idiotic, ill-conceived, impracticable, imprudent, inane, inappropriate, insane, irresponsible, loony, ludicrous, nonsensical, odd, outrageous, peculiar, potty, preposterous, puerile, quixotic, ridiculous, senseless, short-sighted, silly, strange, unworkable, wacky, weird, wild" (synonyms.com)

situation this is.

If pc started talking to someone in private, about somthing that had nothing to do with me, and obviously nothing to do with work, should I concern myself with it? Its like that saying if a tree falls in the forrest and no one is around, does anyone give a shit? Im not sure how thats applicable, but its funny.

Anyway, the next day moustache decides to take this absurdity to the next level, somewhere where phil would have a problem following, intellectual retaliation. This is where I step out of the picture and have just heard stories from everyone that was there. I think moustache should continue from here. sorry travis.

ok, so i hear about this through the grapevine, as more of a "wtf?" than anything against scott our i.

for some reason, the simpleminded absurdity of master p rolling in on us, one of the very rare occasions that week that i was working in the union, and being an asstard enough to not only be a dick about it (evidently over the phone, immediately - this can't wait, no sirree) in general, but to actually question the exact content of our conversation, really pissed me off.

so, as we were leaving i asked, in the office, if anyone had heard anything about an xbox. mc p-pants answered no, and i made sure to ask him in particular, and to particularly say, "you haven't heard anything around the office about an xbox?"

i think i more confused poor bonzer, but sweet p got the message. then, out of nowhere, i saw an even better (and less confusing) possibilty.

i turned to leep as we left the orifice, asking, "have you seen what's going on with the eaves?" as i said this, i gestured out the window, into the courtyard. he stooped to look and asked for clarification, so i said, "the eaves, it looks like they're all dropping."

at this point we had gotten pc's attention, and he walked over and looked out the window, asking what we were looking at.

"the eaves," i said, "they're dropping."

"the eaves are dropping...what?" he scanned the courtyard, pretending both to know what an eave was.

"they're dropping," i explained. "look at the eaves dropping?"

"the eaves dropping?" he repeated, still not quite getting it.

"yeah, don't you see the eaves dropping?"

"eaves dropping," he says, looking at the three of us in the hall suddenly.

"yeah, i hear there's a lot of that going on around here," i said, straightening away from the window and beginning to walk down the hall with leep and lj. master p mumbled something along the lines of , "oh," so i turned to look at him and said,

"have a good night, phil."
