Contraband Coffee Mugs

Other offices have shutdown to cut back costs.  So there is a flood of items from old offices coming in.  We've gotten extra desks, file cabinets, computers, projectors, etc.  You name it we got it.  I was out sick a couple days when the good stuff came in and my intern did save anything for me.  Bastard is now taking out the garbage (cleaning my car). 

There is one item though that has been deemed contraband to have, coffee mugs.  Now why would coffee mugs with our own company logo be contraband?  The owner of the company can't stand the site of them.  If he sees you with one it will cause you to get an ass chewing.  That is why it is considered contraband.  There just coffee mugs right?

Well, one of the offices that shutdown used company money to get the coffee mugs.  They paid WAY too much for them.  I think the figure was something like $250 a mug?  There were some fraudulence going on.  I think one of the managers bought himself a personal golf cart shortly after the order was placed.  So it is a sore spot to everyone's boss. 

Our interns are setting up for the next LAN party in the small conference room with all our new non-contraband items. 

Cheers,

LAN Party results

(ring ring)

"Bob's boat shop, lemme check your hull"

"Bob?"

"Yeppers"

"Can you let me in?"

(buzz)

10 people carrying cables, consoles, computers, stereo equipment, booze, snacks and everything a college freshman hides in his dorm walks into the office. 

(1/2 an hour later)

"I hate to be a perfectionist but we better tape down these cables or we're gonna trip over them later when we are jumping around doing victory dances."

An intern points an electric hand held drill like a revolver.  "Screwing is good." 

"Yep.  But from what I hear from the ladies, you should stick to carpentry."

(another 1/2 hour later)

"These are some freakin' awesome homo cookies."

"There not homo cookies!  I just know how to bake!  That doesn't make me a homo!"

(2 hours later... and a bit of caffeine)

"Get the points!" 

"IswearI'llgetthepoints!  IswearI'llgetthepoints!  FrickfrickfrickFCUKFCUKFCUK!!!!"

(37 minutes later)

"You can not base jump from the inside of an office building."

"Yes you can!  If you blow out a window and open your shute with your back to the window the wind will just jerk you out of the building.  I swear I saw it on Myth Busters."

"You're a fcukin liar."

(40 minutes later)

"I betcha my Corolla could pull a jet ski."

"What good is that if you don't own a jet ski?"

"Well that is if I get a jet ski I won't have to buy a truck to tow it."

"I bet your Corolla couldn't even tow a mailbox." 

"I bet it could tow a car."

"What about sideways?"

(3 hours till people start showing up for work again)

"We're out of fire extinguishers.  We broke into the other offices on 6 and 7 and took all of those.  The rest of the fires will smolder out in another 20 minutes.  The fire department has the car outside taken care of."

"So same time next week?"

"Yeppers."

We kinda went overboard. There were small office fires (used to make smores), a broken window (for a base jumping experiment) , a car in the parking lot may have been overturned and lit on fire and some chickens are unexplainably floating around the building.  (Kinda reminds me of the movie The Hangover)
