Jumpsuits and Hobby Horses

Woah, Office Christmas party tonight. If the conventional wisdom holds for these things, I look forward to seeing plenty of photocopies of my coworkers' buttocks. Note to coworkers: do not use that last sentence to justify any unwarranted butt copying. I am serious this time. A lot of people get the wrong idea from my email address, ShowMeAPhotocopyOfYourPosterior@codypowell.com, but that's more of a figurative thing than a literal one.

Should I even get into how pee'd off I am that I didn't get to go to the midnight premiere of Return of the King? I had shelled out some major bucks to get a velour jumpsuit monogrammed with Gollum's face on the back, only to find out late-night movie premieres aren't a valid excuse for missing work. I asked if there was an exception for Sean Astin movies, and my boss said there used to be, until too many people abused it when Toy Soldiers came out in 1991. I just went into hysterics at that point, screaming over and over, "But I already told the usher at the movies about the jumpsuit!" Sadly, specially made clothing/movie memorabilia doesn't carry the weight it used to. And besides, I already have my viewing planned for this Friday in Fort Worth with Frito of the Shire. Look at all those capitalized F's in that last sentence! Someone call the Guiness book of world records!

Speaking of the Guiness book, I gave that thing the once-over Sunday morning while recovering from a little too much Warsteiner, and I found a record I think all of us could join together to break. The largest hobby horse collection is only like 400 horses. I am not even sure what a hobby horse is, so I am not going to commit myself just yet. Is is the same thing as a stick pony? I hope it's not those miniature horses, as I just don't have the room for those dudes, no matter what my heart says. Anyway, think it over, people. ALSO, I keep forgetting to say this, but Tim, one of my friends from college, has started a very amusing website that I encourage everyone to devote to memory.

So are people that don't work with you allowed to do some butt copying? I just want to be clear about the butt copying rules and regulations. The last thing I want is a misunderstanding of sorts. It was a New Year's Resolution and I'll be damned if I see it go down in flames in the last two weeks.

Are we only disallowed from copying our OWN buttocks? What if somebody else is just sitting there, and we hit the copy button for them?

How about scrot shots? You haven't lived until you've seen a 600 dpi full color copy of my junk.

Looking back at what I wrote now, I have to wonder if a stranger snuck into my apartment and posted that entry. Of all people to oppose the photocopying of buttocks... ME? No way! Obviously, I was in a bad place when I wrote that. Anywho, I apologize whole-heartedly, and encourage everyone to continue with butt and genital copying.

Thanks Cody, for giving me my first official blog props -or as I like to call them- "Plops"!
