I hate it but one of my co-workers in the office right next to me thinks it's great. So great in fact she feels the need to let everyone else hear it instead of her usual "smooth jazz" elevator music.

Sorry, I'm sure I'm not the first to bring this up.

Give me her address. Soon you'll be enjoying her screams of terror and agony.

Either that, or I could mail her to you in pieces as payment for convincing the judge to let me off due to a temporary (temporary...hahaha!) insanity plea.

And she's right up your alley big guy. Fugly with a face of dried, old leather (perfect for mask making) due to the long history of cigarettes.

What I want to do is find some black metal or speed metal christmas carols, or maybe marilyn manson christmas carols, and then play those at people...

Complain to her boss on the grounds of religious persecution...

Trans Siberian Orchestra has got some really good ones.

This 'Christmas' thing of which we speak was originally a day where all Christians would celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Of course, nowadays it is simply another commercialised universal homage to the gods Money, Alcohol and Family Feuds. Religion is more or less optional.

Personally, I'm going to do pretty much what I do every year - get stoned and laugh at everyone.

Thanks, I'll give trans siberian orchestra a whirl.

There will be no snow in Africa! So let them know its Christmas time!

Or however that dreadful song goes.

Reply to riser

Technically, Jesus couldn't be born on Christmas. All evidence point against such a belief.

Reply to dasickninja

True.

The 25th December date was adopted when Christianity spread to Northern Europe, in order to replace a pagan tree-worshipping festival at the same time of year. This is also where the Christmas tree tradition comes from. You don't see many conifers in the Holy Land...

I've heard every fcuking Christmas song known to mankind at least three times!!!!!!!! This damn radio station is like every other in that it feels the need to repeat the same playlist every few hours.

I must cleanse myself.

...*searches in vain for Slayer's Special Christmas Album, the one coated in jolly old St. Nick's blood*...

Reply to Anoobis

Besides that, December 25 falls into the Jewish moth of Kislev a time known for being cold, dank and extremely inhospitable. The fact that the divine record shows the shepherds out of doors tending their sheep at night would suggest that the climate was temperate, very unlike what would usually occur.

It all boils down to the following: with the way people have screwed around with the calendar, histories and beliefs, I'm vaguely surprised people still attach so much meaning to dates.

Particularly when religious dates have been shuffled around to the extent that they're bordering on meaningless.

Stifle her ability to change the radio station by biting her finger off. If you feel like it you could smash her trachea first to stop her screaming...Don't over do it, you don't want her dead, just in agony and unable to open bottles :P

One of the worst times of my life was a co-worker's bringing of ABL's favourite man: Rod Stewart's Christmas Songs CD.

It was god awful for 2 weeks to hear him crooning like a freshly cut male cat. God awful.

And WTF is up with that....growth on his face????

Reply to Anoobis

This is why in my office you're not allowed to play music out loud. You'll never find anything that everybody likes, so just make everyone wear headphones.

Around here the popular taste is predominantly hiphop/rap and kwaito (sort of an indigenous heavily-irradiated rap/trance/numetal mutant crossover thing), so one can imagine how well my preferred music goes over at the office.

I love it! I love the looks on their faces when I put some of my favourites on, like dimmu borgir...

Reply to mugz

Dimmu Borgir is sorta heavy for work music, though.

Reply to Snorkius

Not really - I used to work in a heavy industrial environment. Borgir, archenemy and similar used to make my Zen work overtime while I was there. Only stuff that could drown out the machinery but let me still hear the alarms through my headset.

Shhh... He's very sensative about that still :wink:

You can understand why he's learned to be so quick though. After all, he has to wait until the wife's distracted and bent over, and putting on a pair of shoes doesn't take very long...

Shall we have a whip round and get him a bottle of GHB for christmass then?

Nah, she's developed an immunity to it by now. Just get him a cosh.

No, let's just have him roundly whipped.

The old perv would love that. Ponk will probably volunteer.

Reply to llama_man

I've got a much better idea that would work for the pair of you..

Yeah.. but then you are an accountant [/sterotyped]

*crosses arms

Reply to CHEEZball

Hehe.

Actually I work with accountants, although I'm not really an accountant myself (in the sense that most people think about what accountants do).

Still, being an "accountant" has it's merits - you get to dabble with double entry and group relief [/puerile accountancy jokes]

The downside is the long hours: speaking of which, I'm off home. Catch you guys (and gals) tomorrow.
