Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Topic = Never assume your customers have a brain.

From the online menu of the nearby food court.

Probably wouldn't need that redundancy if they weren't located next to the moonshine distillery ...

The alternative topic heading might read “Never assume your bosses have a brain.”

I find both are often equally valid.

I love the wording how "the works" is the main portion/feature of the dish and that the fries are secondary. You have me curious on what concoctions you can come up with on that menu to slop over the french fries?

"Fries with the Works" is to PEI what "Poutine" is to Quebec.
The original version created in a small diner in the village of O'Leary, calls for fries covered with hamburger and gravy with peas. It's not pretty, it's certainly not good for you, but it's addictively delicious to your inner caveman, fat cravings.

Variations have spread to include the above plus carrots, corn, etc. I'm guessing, basically whatever you have extra of in the kitchen.

Somewhere in Washington, Tom's ears are ringing and he just came to attention.

In that special way....

Sometimes you just know when you're typing something that it's gonna beg for such a response.

Suddenly he wishes his desk were just a little but higher, or that he sat just a little further away from it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if my wife were served that, she'd ask who threw up on her fries.

Dude.

Desks take so much abuse.

NOW I know why I woke up in the middle of the night.

Hey, we all have dreams, right? Right?

I don't think the vegetables add to the appeal in any way. I'd much rather have the cheese curds. The meat is a nice touch, though.

But, you know, any poutine in a storm.

That looks like an electron microscope image of my Islet of Langerhans. Gee-rrr--osss. Now that I look again, it simply appears to be a dish of food that some has already eaten.

Sometimes, the magnanimity here astounds me. The assignation of generosity abounds. Due to a profane amount of research, were you to inquire, I can either allay your fears or exacerbate them. Then again, I'm a self-admitted liar. I'll always tell you what I want you to hear.

The disappointment of others excites me.

We have a new restaurant in town called The Whistlestop Cafe that has all you could ever want with poutine (51 different choices). As you can imagine, it's a hugely popular stop when the bars close.

So if someone "has an accident" after drinking all night, you can't tell the difference between that and a meal?

(sorry for those of you sitting down to lunch)

I picked up a couple of Vizio 32" monitors today, and was just glancing through the .PDF manuals online when I saw this. Certainly should fall under the "duh" category:

Pretty much, buddy!

Adding to the funny disclaimer Mark posted. Here's a scan of the "warning" tag that was attached to my wheelchair moments ago.

Don't operate cell phones while the wheelchair is on........really,.......really!?

is that what is called in french "le/la ramasser à la petite cuiller" ?
"pick him/her up from the pavement with a spoon" ?

I love out-of-context warning messages. I rotated batches of them for months on my email signature at work. You know, like...

This message may be monitored for quality control or customer service training purposes. This part not used. Ohio law requires valuables be deposited in safety deposit boxes. No Horse Hitching. Overhead Utilities. Not responsible for well-done steaks. Add toner. No stopping on bridge. Please notify management if this restroom needs attention.

No it isn't.

Somebody put that on the reader board in our lobby recently. I cracked up.

Can I even have my poutine on a Ritz (cracker)?

If you take your crackers, yes .

With products like motion sensing controllers for gaming consoles being ever so popular, I'm sure television manufacturers have had plenty of instances of Wii controllers flying into television screens by accident and stupid parents arguing about that being covered under warranty.

Why stupid? What do they have to lose?

OK. So they are stupid (because they should know the answer to the question OBVIOUSLY) and cheap (do anything possible to avoid paying for repairs like making a big stink to customer service ). Making a big stink still won't matter in this case.

Ha!! that's a good one Peter!

How about poutine on the (hot)dog?

....mehhh.

Don't give in to Ken so easily, House :); they're stupid parents.



Why stupid? Because they didn't strap the damn thing to their arm in the first place!

What do they have to lose? Nothing, but where does it end? If one believes that the TV should be covered under warranty, then it is logical to apply that to every single thing within proximity of the remote, and that's stupid! There's absolutely no difference between someone tossing a remote through a window and being stupid enough to make a warranty claim like someone would if it was a TV.

Okay, so for argument's sake, we'll say that the window has nothing to do with the gaming console; fair enough. Well, what about if someone came on the forum and said that they think that their M80 should be covered under warranty because a remote was thrown into it and damaged it (its part of the whole system-the TV plays the video, and the speakers play the sound). I don't think anyone on the forum would suggest that they take it up with Axiom because they have nothing to lose (in saying so, I think that you are implying that it is even remotely legitimate), but instead we'd think they're pretty stupid to even consider it.

Stupid parents!

Peace and love, Ken .

I agree...with the part about wanting to live next to a moonshine distillery.

BOGITY BOGITY BOO. HAHAHEHE.

Moonshine.
