Buggered if I'd be able to find a suitable blue cloak, but more power if you can. And people know who you are.
Thought of black face paint too?

Meetings.
Well, they are rather pointless, aren't they? Very few things take up so much time and achieve so little.

Fortunatly, don't have to worry about them yet, though I can see how they're useful. I've tried to organise a large group of ppl over the phone before, and I always that if I could just get everyone in the same room then it would be so much easier.

You're right... I'm just sick of the meetings at my workplace. They last for an hour and consist of us being told something that could be explained in under 20 seconds.
I am not kidding.

Yeah. I guess I just needed to get it off my chest. I just hate that time-wasting crap.

That's why you have to subtly plot and take the manager's place...And then, you can waste everyone's time and see what a blast it is!

New thought -
Why the hell do we have swinging hand-holds in our buses? And by in our buses, I mean that we have them everywhere - in Australia, Japan and Korea and possibly countless more places around the world.
When I'm in a vehicle that constantly stops and starts and often swings around corners, I'd like to hold onto something stable. And a ring swinging wildly around on a plastic strap secured to a thin bar does not cut it.
Fortunately, I can reach that thin bar myself but there's a lot of people who couldn't.
It just defies understanding.

I think if it was solid it would be more likely to cause an accident if you hit your head against it. Sure, it may swing into your head, but thats not likely.
Also, it strikes me as more structually secure to have it loose then solid, but I have nothing to back that up, just how I would picture it.

Strange, I thought as the science guy, you'd back me up on that one.
Haven't you seen how when the buses take corner, all these people are flailing about everywhere because of these silly swinging handholds?

But if you were a sixty year old lady, you might feel differently. Just guessing.

If I were a 60 year old lady, I would wear clothing with amazin' floral print on it.
