Absolutely. Visage was hopping again, then an afterparty. Silliness.
When you off work? I could use a little DT happyhour today. I’m meeting someone down there around 8, have to hit kinko’s beforehand.
I feel like getting boozy…

"work" is good here. i will be on MySpace all day. i am also reading, blogging and shopping.
it's a busy day.
we could come up with some sort of collaborative project. start a blog together, harass folks on MySpace, things of this nature.

2)a blog devoted to slang
3)point/counterpoint

Like http://www.girlsarepretty.com/ does with holidays.
We’ll start with boss obviously, the next one will be:
Debauchle.
Definition:
A debacle with sexy results.
Usage:
Predictably, that key party turned into a total debauchle.

i think between the 2 of us...we have plenty of stories to tell. we can create pen names, so nobody knows its us and we'll just let loose, unload and blow people's minds.
possible names:
1)double debauchery
2)boss, squared
3)these things happen; even to the boss of us

don't know how well that keeps up the anonymity thing but i think we can work around that.

The first step of anonymity will be not telling our friends about it and letting it percolate out by commenting on the Poline and Girl Friday or MNSpeak.
I think we have some ego-bossing genius on our hands here.
I’ve been spelling anonymity right all day but I just butchered genious.

i think the string idea is brilliant however, i question the significance of making it a XXXXX thing...other than the endless play on words. if we just make it strictly corporate or strictly 2 people bored at work, i feel as if our options are endless. besides, what would we do if we quit?
thoughts? other than our bossness.
oh...new idea. we could just have a theme for the month. this way, we utilize all of our genious (i.e. slang, stories, etc..)

I can agree with that. It will also reduce the possibility or our being fired if we keep it a nameless cubemaze.

we will just have to make sure that our "signature" doesn't end up in the string.

Should we reverse it so it reads chronologically?
The boss is that the ideas/topics will be free-flowing. Change randomly all the time….
String mean is pretty good, but then we’d have to be meaner.
