The Toasty Overview

Left the world of cubicles to start my own creative design agency. A new father to the perfect daughter with the best wife ever. Typically found working in the backyard with my dogs and a cigar... and possibly a pint... or glass of vino.

Life is good.

Foiled!

DateFriday, December 22, 2006 at 06:28AM

That's right. My team and I tin foiled a fellow designer's cubicle. So here's the background: a fellow designer left for vacation this past week. He intends to return the Tuesday after Christmas. What he doesn't even know yet is that my boss, fellow designer and myself used over 500 square feet of tin foil and wrapped up EVERYTHING in his cube!

The pictures don't do it justice... We wrapped it all -- his phone, the mirror, his headphones, his hat, the action figures, the papers on his desk even the trash under it. We started around 3pm Wednesday afternoon and spent 3-4 hours wrapping. Then on Thursday we spent the entire day finishing it up.

$25 of tin foil and only 1.5 days of time ... not to shabby if I may say so myself. You can view all the pictures here:

Note - I'll be setting up a webcam and recording his reaction when he returns so SSSHHHH! don't tell him =)

    Are you the practical joker in your office, or the practical jokee? Like many of us, I am both. My longest running prank was some years ago when I unscrewed the bottom cap of my co-worker's telephone and put scotch...

Hello Everbody

Significant toil by the admin, mods and without a doubt every member around.

Yesterday I be familiar with that there is a medication on buy wellbutrin on http://www.youtube.com/LeslieTims .
Can buy wellbutrin no joking be cured? The website looks legit.

Thanks a lot
