ShawnD1, congrats on 10K posts. Lifer!

Thanks!

I bet you're a lot of fun at parties...

I don't get it. Doing pranks that make no sense at all = good at parties? I have an awesome prank idea; let's go up to a cop and punch him in the face. It has no comedy value at all and that's why it's so good with parties.

Printed and taped to the wall... heheheh.

it makes sense, it is harmless, and the comedy value of watching stupid secretary number 4 walk up and start yelling "COPY" is pretty damn funny.

punching a cop in the face for no reason doesn't make sense, is harmful, and has no comedy value

analogy fail, and bolded an important part of your quote...

i dared my manager to print it out.

Our printers/copiers are so old I don't think anyone would fall for it. Nice find though.

Two copy center guys show up, cop an attitude about how valuable their time is and huff and puff that it was unprofessional for someone to waste their time on a stupid prank. Meanwhile, they would have been sitting there doing nothing but playing solitaire anyway, so their whining fell on deaf ears.

Plus they had to walk around the entire building taking the posters off the copiers.

I know they are mad, but what they are really mad about is that they got sucked into the prank, not that their "valuable" time was wasted. Prima donnas. Imagine "Nick Burns, your company computer guy" from SNL as a copy center employee, and you have the picture.

 

[blackdogdeek]

ooo he did it! he taped it to the printer! i'm as giddy as a little girl.

EDIT: damn i wish video worked on my phone.

 

[Juddog]

Update - someone actually fell for it (on a different floor though)! Unbelievable!

Put the posters back up then call them again making the exact same complaint that the copier's voice functions don't work. This sounds like a much better prank

clearly, you must work in a corporate environment. i believe this is what managers call "escalation"

Would work better if it said "Localized"

Also, where is Ricoh?!

Oxford English authoritatively specifies that "ize" is the correct way to spell it for the same reasons as Webster. Brits need to adopt it not only because we use it, bit because it is truly more universal.

American spelling accepts only -ize endings in most cases, such as organize, realize, and recognize. British usage accepts both -ize and -ise (organize/organise, realize/realise, recognize/recognise). British English using -ize is known as Oxford spelling, and is used in publications of the Oxford University Press, most notably the Oxford English Dictionary, as well as other authoritative British sources. The OED lists the -ise form separately, as "a frequent spelling of -IZE...", and refuses to list the -ise spellings even as alternatives in the individual entries for words such as "realize". It firmly deprecates usage of "-ise" for words of Greek origin, stating, "[T]he suffix..., whatever the element to which it is added, is in its origin the Greek -ιζειν, Latin -izāre; and, as the pronunciation is also with z, there is no reason why in English the special French spelling in -iser should be followed, in opposition to that which is at once etymological and phonetic." It maintains "... some have used the spelling -ise in English, as in French, for all these words, and some prefer -ise in words formed in French or English from Latin elements, retaining -ize for those of Greek composition." Noah Webster rejected -ise for the same reasons.

i printed a couple copies out to put on both our machines (small office, only 14 or so employees) and the owner got to the printer before i did. he read them, put them aside and walked away hehe. they are now taped up, but i doubt anyone will fall for it. the only ones dumb enough to fall for it are also in charge of maintaining the machines.

 

[GrumpyMan]

Can anybody host a Xerox? All links blocked at work...

 

[thegimp03]

Thank you for these. This should be hilarious.

 

[DrPizza]

Perfect. The Xerox guy was here all morning repairing ours.

 

[blackdogdeek]

"print"
"print!"
"PRINT!"
"DUDE PRINT!"

BWAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Gigantopithecus]

LOL. Excellent! Only took about 10 minutes for the first victim here, hahaha...

 

[The Boston Dangler]

[darkxshade]

I don't print at the printer, I print at my computer. I only walk to the printer to pick up my printouts. How is this supposed to work/fool anyone?

And you make copies from your PC too? And scan?
