The Everyday Adventures of JimmyDuck part 1

Spoof and Speck bring you another new, hopefully regular, feature. We call it "The Everyday Adventures of JimmyDuck". These posts will bring you the funny, crazy, and downright weird stuff we see and hear at our workplace.

Today's installment has got to be one of the weirdest we've ever seen.

What kind of person puts a cooler in the refrigerator?

 

What a genius

Spoof and Speck bring you a new character today. Grabby's appearance here was inevitable. Grabby lacks even basic social skills, the kind of stuff they teach you in preschool. Honestly, we're talking personal space, inside voices, polite requests, conversation skills. Grabby has none of those things.

Grabby has also been wearing a wrist brace off and on for at least three years. Finally, whatever the issue is, it warranted a trip to the doctor. Grabby comes back to work with restrictions. Limited lifting and don't raise the arm over your head. These things are all sensible. Except Grabby won't raise either arm. Apparently the doctor did not specify which arm the restrictions are for.

Seriously?

We ask you, readers, is this as stupid as it sounds to us or are we entirely crazy?

They Did Fine

This upcoming event may make heads explode. After the issues we had with financing (see our previous Mo post) we thought things were finally settled. With less than a week before the event, we thought we'd spread out the work a little. Spoof and Speck can only do so much. Since the program has a nighttime theme, we thought it would be fun to have some fireflies on the walls. With that plan in mind, we asked the Mosquito to have our volunteers, Newton and the clone, make some for us.

This is what the fireflies were supposed to look like:

 Simple, right?

This is what we got:

We try not to be hypercritical but Newton and the clone are both pretty artistic people. They're capable of something much better than this. We ended up throwing away all fifty that they'd made. 

When the Mosquito heard about it the response we got was "I thought they did fine." 

Seriously?!! What about this is fine? 

Let the brain exploding begin.

Meet Mo

Spoof and Speck bring you another new feature. Meet Rabid Mo.

This rabid squirrel makes the rounds. As we see him, we'll update you on his movements.

The Murder Goose Attacks

Don't linger in dark places. The murder goose is out there. This psychotic bird goes after anyone who ticks him off. Today the victim of choice is The Hutt.

Spoof made a formal request for funding for a work sponsored event. After a week without a response, Spoof sent a second email. The response, which didn't come for several days, may have been one of the nastiest emails the murder goose has ever read. The nasty email demanded more information and was followed the next day by a second demand for information even though Spoof had been in a meeting all afternoon. So, Spoof and Speck sat down and gave as much information as possible. Finally, after two days of email silence, the Hutt stumped down the stairs from the offices and, acting as if there had been no nastiness, simply handed over the check. 

The goose has had enough. He's sharpening his knives. The Hutt better watch out. The murder goose is coming.

Meet the Cast

Welcome to Falling Down the Death Stare!

Spoof and Speck would like to introduce you to a few of the characters you'll be meeting on this blog.

The boss herein after known as The Hutt. The Hutt looks like Jabba, sounds like Gollum, and hordes treasure like a dragon.

Shoes. Essentially the Hutt's minion. Shoes is so far up the Hutt's butt that all you see is shoes. 

Mosquito. Ever had that person who seems to be out to annoy you at every turn? They aren't happy unless you are miserable. This is the Mosquito.


Join us as we chronicle the insanity that comes from these and other loonies at our job.
