Hey kids! Grilling a fruit pie is an easy way to get noticed at any sock-hop or ho-down! Just look at how many people noticed Nathan here when he started grilling his fruit pie:

I haven't a clue, but no markings on it.
If you only listened and showed up. (hint: check LBK's phot set)

Jesus! They actually make you work in cubicles? I thought those were like a Dilbert urban myth, a relic from '80's open plan offices.

That isn't the norm stateside for office work is it? Because I'm looking for work and am not totally convinced I could do the cubicle living thing.

Living in a cubicle is rather unusual (I know a case), but working in a cubicle is not uncommon.

Britpac!!!! BritpAAAAAAAC!!! Where are you, man? There's another Londoner here and we want to make him feel at home in our humble thread. Britpac? Maybe he's out of town or something?

Anyway, I find the norm is a sort of semi-cubicle that where half the wall is about waist high so you can talk easily to your neighbor. Kind fo like this, but with lower walls.

Now doesn't that just look as comfy as a country home? Just makes you wanna work doesn't it.

it is just like being in prison, but without the showers.

office space is prime real estate and not always tied to your responsibility, but often to who is the best brown noser.
however, shouldn't the people who popularized "The Office" know this?

My cube isn't the worst thing I've ever seen. I'd rather be here than some of the "offices" i've seen. You know, the ones on the inside fo the building without a window so it seems like you work in a cave. I at least get a window in my cubicle.

But I'm the office dirtbag. Tight jeans, t-shirts, tattoos, and slip-ons. I totally am a misfit here. I kinda like it...
