You want to ask me about your office?

I got this e-mail today.

"Schlesinger Associates, a national Marketing Research Firm, is currently organizing a study among men and women in the area regarding health conditions at our mid-town Manhattan offices."

I have no idea what goes on in your mid-town Manhattan offices.

You Can't Resist this Job Applicant. It's Futile.

So I think I'm interviewing a Borg next week. On the resume', the first skills listed are "Excellent technology absorption capability" and "Ability to work effectively in a team environment". You don't hire him, he just assimilates your company.

The End of Suzi's Television

At one time, that was a good TV.

The Bed to Die For.

I've always thought that the Sleepy's Mattress trademark "For the Rest of Your Life" was a little odd. You could interpret this as ...

1) You'll keep coming back to Sleepy's because we're so good.
2) You'll get a great night's rest from this bed.

Or you could also interpret it as "This is your death bed". Apparently this association was also lost on the Hannah mattress company because they also tried to register the trademark.

Quest for Lunch


So I'm watching the movie "Quest for Fire" on hulu.com and it's the scene where the canibal neanderthals are having a nice hearty meal of human flesh. Occasionally on hulu, they run little ad bugs along the bottom of the sceen. Is this what Chili's had in mind?
