Your boss started with you?

Did the boss finish the sentence by saying, "that is, all things of art, you really have to start dressing better"?

"On the premise that you're responsible for everything here that moves, but is not alive..."

...would you please remove Ms. Schiavo from the lobby? She's freaking out the receptionist.

Would one consider a part of something that is alive alive as well? Because if not, perhaps it was a come-on.

At the very least you should start issuing some memos about the company's hair and fingernail protocols.

Apropos of nothing (relevant to the post), the viola totally kicks the violin's ass, all over the place.

When I was wee, I knew that everything ultimately consisted of particles in constant motion. I took this to mean that if you set a turnip (for instance) on the kitchen floor and waited long enough, you'd eventually find it at some measureable displacement from the turnip origin.

Given an expansive definition of long enough, this is probably true. Especially if one's mummy happened along and said, "What is this turnip doing on the floor?"

Okay, no one's at work today because of the strike, and I am bored.

You left out the "remem" part at the end, short for "remember that I'm just joshing".

Re: 9

I once inadvertently tried this experiment with a pumpkin. Sure enough, after a few weeks the pumpkin began to displace itself across the floor. In all directions. In gooey, pungent form.

Assuming that the observer and the observed were effectively immortal. It might take literally billions of years.

The point being, there is a faint possibility that ogged is responsible for every material substance that is not also alive.

This is such a shameless play for a mocking thread, ogged, you remind me of this girl that flirted with guys by getting them to mock her. I think her father must have teased her constantly growing up.

Even that can be art.

Is Leibig playing bass there? His syncopation reminds me of a series of sonatas for saxophones written by Garland Anderson. Also, Steuart is the only spelling that accurately portrays the sound of that word.

I secretly thought that by looking at a sunbeam coming into a (dusty) room, you could see atoms.
