Flame me.

    As long as you're not questioning the "mouse magic" that is making you do what they want, everything is fine. By the way, don't tell anything about "dragons with feet like rabbits" ...

    I've used "Life is pretty good, you know?" on several occasions. No shame in that.

    See, the only line I regularly quote from a game is from Mass Effect 2. Whenever anyone asked me how things are going I usually respond with Wrex's 'Better than feared, worse than hoped.'

    I use lots of lines. My children are often rebuked and told to: "look into the beady eyes of my hamster, and change your ways."

    Do you have a wise hamster to advise you, @reedmilfam? :)
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    @Calmar - Unfortunately, I don't. A pair of cats would love me to get one, though.

    When they fire you, be sure to say "I've done had enough of this."

    Did any of them respond as if they had heard that before?

    Alright, that actually made me laugh out loud.

    @PugPug I like how you say "when", not "if" :p
  • GoddardGoddard Member Posts: 134
    That is what I think I will start calling some people I know.

    Either that or "Stop Touching meeeeee!"

    Or "One day I will Point and CLICK!"

    No, but that might just be because I mentioned in the same e-mail that there is no such think as 9 o'clock sharp on a Monday morning...

    Or better yet...

    "As ye would have it. I likely would have put a dagger in ye eventually, but for now ye have been adequately useful" :)

    There are so many fun ways you could do this...

    For the coworker who likes to pat you on the back all the time:
    "Don't touch me; I'm super-important!"

    For the overly talkative coworker:
    "Utterly amazing! You spoke so long, but you didn't say anything."
    "You know what I always say? 'Always kill the mouthy one.' That's what I always say."

    For the annoying coworker:
    "You are amusing, in a "what the hell is wrong with you" kind of way."

    For the coworker who never gets annoyed:
    "Everyone in town used to throw rocks at me and tell me I was annoying. I once knew this guy named Dilby. He threw rocks at me too. Are you gonna throw rocks at me? What about now?"

    For your underlings as they arrive for a meeting:
    "So...the stoic adventurers have found their way down to my lair."

    For the ambitious coworker:
    "You remind me of myself...before I was slaughtered and cast into the Abyss."

    For the boss who asks you to work overtime:
    "I've just about seen enough waking hours, slavedriver."

    I think that one might end the streak of BG references...
