The irony is that if you look closely at the original photo, Nikki is fucking around on Facebook and not actually doing anything either..... so I fired her too.; 3/15/10, 1:38 AM
Britarded said...: Actually, If I recall (I do) Niki was actually writing on this blog wasn't she? And I would love it if you could install photoshop at work please?; 3/15/10, 12:33 PM
Britarded said...: sorry, I think that was a reflex post and i accidentally posted in defense of Niki. Can we get Final Cut Pro at the East End please?; 3/15/10, 12:40 PM
the coelacanth said...: c'mon tom, we've got to be realistic. we've had an athsmatically wheezing cafe computer for close to a year now, the "hp touchscreen" that was supposed to be installed 8 months ago is still - and i'm assuming here - on backorder. we can only assume that when it arrives, f.c. pro and the latest version of photoshop will be bundled with it. right? right?

aren't you guys excited for a few weeks from now when the easter bunny comes? i know i am! oh gee, i just lost a tooth - i'm gonna put it under my pilla tonight and the tooth faiwy's gonna bwing me a shiny loonie!

face facts, dude; we're an afterthought. at best.; 3/15/10, 4:19 PM
La Sporgenza said...: Given that the entire takings from the FBE cafe since September 2009 might pay for a used mid-80's Commodore 64 with optional card reader, you should be thankful for your positively-new-by-comparison
'94 Dell XT. After spending 5 hours (and $300) laying on my back replacing drawer slides (for the third time in 18 months) on Friday (because you guys stand on them and slam them shut every single fucking time), you'd think that there might by the slightest level of modest appreciation for these efforts. But, alas... no....

If I thought the HP Punch-Screen would last more than 20 minutes out there I'd consider it.

Just out of interest Jules made more money from the FBE than we did in 2009 (no, really... I shit you not) so let him buy a replacement cafe computer. I'm tapped out from buying 1000's of Euro-Horror cult DVD's.

Starting to understand Brent's position from a year ago.; 3/15/10, 4:48 PM
the coelacanth said...: Hmmm...

"Given that the entire takings from the FBE cafe since September 2009 might pay for a used mid-80's Commodore 64 with optional card reader"

no joke, could we actually get that? it had some amazing games. although it's probably passed the point of obsolescence and into the realm of "vintage" and will thus command a greater price than when new...

"you should be thankful for your positively-new-by-comparison

i like to feel that when i go to work, it is separate from my home life (and has faster internet access), but i have the exact same computer at home, and when i see that one at work, i just think of how much laundry i have to do.

"After spending 5 hours (and $300) laying on my back replacing drawer slides (for the third time in 18 months) on Friday (because you guys stand on them and slam them shut every single fucking time)"

i think that hearkens back to saloon times when cowboys would place one foot up on a ledge at the bar and jut out their asses ever so slightly in order to "put out the vibe". pretty much exact same thing going on here (except i think the other three guys are doing it for the customers' benefit... i think the slamming the drawers was a cause and effect thing, with pent up frustration from the dead hamsters inside the cafe computer manifesting itself in rage, ergo slamming. if it's any consolation, the drawers slam much easier now with the new slides...

"you'd think that there might by the slightest level of modest appreciation for these efforts. But, alas... no...."

um...can't speak for the other guys, but i said thanks. too modest?

"If I thought the HP Punch-Screen would last more than 20 minutes out there I'd consider it."

the more i think about it, you're right - who are we kidding, it is the east end after all. our tip cup (containing a grand total of $0.73 at all times) has been pilfered no less than half a dozen times. can you imagine the size of boner those unwashed masses would get if a shiny new piece of technology suddenly appeared within arms reach, begging to be stolen? you're right on this one...

"Just out of interest Jules made more money from the FBE than we did in 2009 (no, really... I shit you not) so let him buy a replacement cafe computer."

jules also has an 18-inch cock. bow down and worship your new god.

"I'm tapped out from buying 1000's of Euro-Horror cult DVD's."

hey neat! can we borrow some for the east end? many "customers" have been asking when we're getting erotic nights of the living dead in...

Face down, on all fours, wearing nothing but that gimp mask i found in the basement and a ball gag in his mouth?; 3/15/10, 11:43 PM

Ordered it tonight. Gimp mask.... dear lord, just the thought of it puts me on edge.; 3/16/10, 12:23 AM
the coelacanth said...: aahahahaha

also, something very funny about "ask and you shall receive" coming from your avatar (no pun intended).; 3/16/10, 12:29 AM
Dropkick said...: i read your little back and forth and at first felt the need to put in my two cents about the east ends needs... but then i forgot, i'm a westender now,
Sporgs got my ass lock, stock and barrel... literally.
so yeah... when in doubt; blame jules; 3/16/10, 3:32 AM
the coelacanth said...: jules is the "east end's needs".; 3/16/10, 10:12 AM
Chandles said...: Ask and ye shall receive, eh? Can I have a raise?; 3/16/10, 6:07 PM
