Any potential loss of income can be blamed on, and subsequently collected from, Mr. Clevinger over there.

My attorney is drafting the tort filing as we speak!

The fact that he's a comic character for a comic that doesn't actually exist certainly didn't help matters any.

I hardly see how this is, in any way, a bad thing.
1) You got ten minutes of doing nothing. Sure, before the board, but still. You could have been productive!

2) It may mean the people who saw this get into the comics as well, meaning they might cut you some slack in the future, if they're in any position of power.

3) Still claim any damages with Mr. Clevinger. We all know what a horrible man he is. IF he's a man. Or human at all!

Mmmmm.... Tort.

This begs the question: what the hell do you do all day, Fifth? I assumed it involved some kind of cave (with excellent wi-fi) from which you delivered harsh internet justice and wisdoms. Now there's an office somewhere in the mix? This does not jive.

He calls the cave his office. The 'board' is actually just the goblins and orcs that have lived there for centuries plotting the demise of mankind.

I didn't ask you to explain who "WARBOT - in Accounting" is. I asked if this character had already been previously used in an earlier work of some kind.
Given the very NATURE of 8-bit theater, I don't think that's particularly unreasonable.
Also, I like the talking in circles thing.. keep 'er up.

Man, I don't understand it any more than you do.

He wasn't even talking to you, Torque. Dude you have a really shitty attitude and I think you need to ask yourself "is NPF right for me" because right now hell no it isn't. I mean good lord how do you manage to pop up on one of the senior admin's radar three times in one day?

Chill out and frickin calm down.

Fifthfiend 03-14-2008 04:14 PM

I vote we ignore Torque and go back to discussing my mysterious day job and the inexplicable appearance of Brian Clevinger's work in front of a room full of engineers and - it's true! - actual accountants.

I mean it was only the two accountants, but they both lolled pretty hard.
