― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

except, I'm probably the nerdy mysterioso of the office, since I don't talk to anybody (because they all suck)

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

FITE!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, great, you watch Sex&theCity!
You have cable! Wow!

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Office Space starring Kate Hudson and Ashton what'shisface.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

fite her then fuck her

i find the premise of this thread to be wrong on a base level.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

but it, like, completely negates the one reason anyone had to talk to me before.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

but you don't want to them anyway of course

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:13 (twenty-two years ago)

completely negates the one reason anyone had to talk to me before.

trust me, from my experience, that's a GOOD thing.

dammit people, i'm wearing these clamshells for a REASON. now piss off!

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

This really does sound like the premise for a great romantic comedy.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

dude, girls will always get more attention - this is a fact we must face.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

All About Eve, eh?

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

but you don't want to them anyway of course

to TALK to them, argh

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh wait, someone's talking to me...

"Uh, hey there, Luigi...how's it going?...Uh-huh. Listen, can you get some more pens out of the supply closet? When you have a minute."

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Play Joy Division really loud. Smoke at your desk. Show her who's boss.

― andy, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

It's bad enough with the constant stream of interns, but the last thing I need is someone permanent to fuck up my shit.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

x-post

they call you luigi now¿
or just when they want you to move your cubicle¿

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

well, the new intern likes me, or seems to, but probably only because I showed her how to get free crap out of the candy machine.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I want free candy!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Worst euphemism ever.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:32 (twenty-two years ago)

haha - "hey kid, want some kandy¿ all you gotta do is get into the van and fetch it from my pocket¡"

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

how do you come to be hip?

― Felcher (Felcher), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

You're not young and hip, you're old and creepy!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

but the other one, she's actually OLDER than me!!!

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Then clearly you're old, creepy, and senile.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha I don't even work at Millennium anymore but I stopped in today to say hi to my boss and I am quite "pleased" to realize that even without being employed there, I am still the "young & hip person" there. Poor bastards.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Still listening to all those WEIRD and OBSCURE New Order records, then?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I had on a HALF SHIRT today and PIG TAILS and a WEIRD NECKLACE, I might as well have shown up dressed as Marilyn Manson.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

freak

― Felcher (Felcher), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that's my problem. I'm not WEIRD and OBSCURE in an obvious, predictable, pathetic way.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah you should grow a goatee and start spiking your hair a bit, then you'd definitely be countercultural.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

ummm, how is that a problem?

― Felcher (Felcher), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you need some New Order in your life, Felcher.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm the young & hip person in my office. I have a goatee, spike my hair a little, and wear black plastic glasses after all(but don't worry, I don't listen to indie rock, it's just to get laid). There's this other guy that's really quiet and has Dragonball Z wallpaper though.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, ive got plenty of it. the hip kids still look the other way when i walk by

― Felcher (Felcher), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

ten years ago, i was the "young and hip" guy at the company where i interned. four years ago, i was the "young and hip" guy at the law firm where i did my summer clerkship -- though that was b/c the partners all liked the grateful dead and yes and i didn't.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I work at a record company, and therefore I am the old stuffed shirt. I drink tea and follow the Democrats... my coworkers are obsessed about bands I've never heard. When everybody's hip, nobody is.

― andy, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

What do you do at this record compnay?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Watch out Jordan you might get out-weirded!!

― Andy Dick (tracerhand), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I know!! Good thing I'm still hipper than any of the string of female temps who have done the same job as me, then go on to better ones.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you know Grant Lawrence, Andy (I've notice yr email address before, but y'know, since YOU brought it up that you work at a record company)?

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I do know Grant and he is a card. We bro'd out in August. The voice of Canada; I think he has a show on CBC? Or used to?

― andy, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, he basically owns the Ceeb. Are you guys putting out the next Smugglers alb stateside?

SEEE! Just the fact that I know who Grant Lawrence, never mind that I've WORKED with the dude, makes me about a million times COOLER than little miss I-have-cable.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

not to be out done by Luigi:

Andy, ask your boss if she and ML are gonna help J and M move the weekend after next.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Does Grant even still have a show anymore? I thought it got replaced with confusing Radio 3 shows without hosts.

I won a Guided By Voices CD from Radio Sonic once! The one with airplanes on the cover. But I think I'd rather just listen to the guy that complains about stuff and plays 60s pop music.

― d k (d k), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Grant sez: "d k is right, Luigi doesn't listen to CBC on Saturday nights, even though he does occassionally like to hear Danny Finkleman complain about the state of modern toaster manufacturing"

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:27 (twenty-two years ago)

The only thing that keeps me coming back to ILX is that every thread eventually turns into a discussion of obscure-in-the-States Canadian celebrities.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:32 (twenty-two years ago)

ha, andy, i was just on the phone with alicia...

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

try obscure in canada too¡

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, he's certainly been superceded by Nardwuar as token West Coast Punk dude.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Andy, ask your boss if she and ML are gonna help J and M move the weekend after next.

You are just incorrigible.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

We had a good thing going! Ya'll ruined everything.

Bye.

― andy, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

the fact that yr known as the 'young hip' person in yr office automatically makes you super lame dude. no questions asked.
the fact that yr upset someone is crampin yr style makes you... more lame and shit.
byeoos

― hereees (kissmyfist), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

all the young & hip people here sit in a groovy glass-walled-custom built-for-the-young-&-hip office here. i can see them through the glass, but i have to knock if i need to talk to one of them.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I just rue the day when I'm not a 'young' person in the office.. which is due shortly..

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

i used to be the youngest person in the office until we got a 15 year old intern!

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't that illegal?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

only if you pay them

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Are we still making sex jokes?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

are we ever not¿

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Where is it 'young and hip' to have a goatee? The NASCAR world headquarters? Sorry goatee-wearers, you're keeping '95 alive, not being hip.

― webcrack (music=crack), Thursday, 22 January 2004 01:59 (twenty-two years ago)

YOU AREN'T GETTING OUR POINT OBVIOUSLY.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 22 January 2004 02:27 (twenty-two years ago)

right....

― webcrack (music=crack), Thursday, 22 January 2004 02:43 (twenty-two years ago)

luigi, are you sure you haven't slipped from the 'young and hip' person to the 'badass kid smirking in the corner' person? it's a fine line, i've been there.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 22 January 2004 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I think maybe what I need to do is start working demographics in my favour. Maybe I'll seek out an Ed. Ass't job at Bridge Players Quarterly or Cataracts in Review or Mojo.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Thursday, 22 January 2004 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Nothing says "I am still edgy" like the bleached skull of a pretender displayed prominently on your cubicle.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 22 January 2004 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

how about a good case of the old cold shoulder?

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Friday, 23 January 2004 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Would Honeyman-Scott or Farndon's suffice or would you have to get Hynde's?

― nickn (nickn), Friday, 23 January 2004 23:46 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

It's official now. I am irrelevant to the office, which, in a sense, makes me all the more edgy, no?
