None of the people I associate with here believe in gaming of any sorts unless it is a drinking game. And don&#8217;t even THINK about mentioning webcomics, sci-fi/fantasy, or British humor&#8230;<br /> <br /> China is great, but I wish there were more variety of people in my program. I guess I just have to get my fill when I talk to people online.</p> meep http://faerye.net/post/inappropriate-workplace-humor#comment-1104 2004-03-19T16:22:10+00:00 2004-03-19T16:22:10+00:00 <p>These are people i work with. They dont qualify as ski-bums in my head, at least not the kind i would want to date. ;-)</p> lissell http://faerye.net/post/inappropriate-workplace-humor#comment-1103 2004-03-19T16:06:06+00:00 2004-03-19T16:06:06+00:00 <p>I thought you liked ski bums. Or are you back to not liking them again? I can&#8217;t keep up.</p> wonko http://faerye.net/post/inappropriate-workplace-humor#comment-1102 2004-03-19T15:21:32+00:00 2004-03-19T15:21:32+00:00 <p>That&#8217;s odd. I censor myself all the time, with most people, actually. Now I can&#8217;t help thinking how eloquent I would suddenly be if I didn&#8217;t. I could always make up some excuse about being afflicted with a serious case of Tourette&#8217;s. =D</p> GreyStork http://faerye.net/post/inappropriate-workplace-humor#comment-1101 2004-03-19T15:14:48+00:00 2004-03-19T15:14:48+00:00 <p>Heh. As much as I would secretly feel flattered by sexual innuendos, I would think those two topics might quickly get kinda old, indeed. ;o)</p> GreyStork http://faerye.net/post/inappropriate-workplace-humor#comment-1100 2004-03-19T14:59:34+00:00 2004-03-19T14:59:34+00:00 <p>Oh, i want to work with a bunch of geeks. They dont get any of my geeky stuff here, not even the really general stuff! There pretty much limited to &#8220;hey, the mountain was great this weekend&#8221; and sexual innuendo. ;-(</p> lissell http://faerye.net/post/inappropriate-workplace-humor#comment-1099 2004-03-19T14:30:48+00:00 2004-03-19T14:30:48+00:00 That is much less interesting than the other options, though much safer, one would assume. <p> As for swearing, and geek humor. Everyone slips now and then. Just remember, you are fortunate enough to be surrounded by geeks of all sorts. Mind you, censoring is still a wise idea, as no one else will want to reveal their inner-geek either. At least yours is still alive and healthy, and requires effort to quell. For some of us it has gotten frighteningly easy.</p> grizelda
