Mental note to self...
Jan. 24th, 2005 10:19 amA quick mental note to self: as satisfying as it might be to use the words "Steelers" and "spanked" in the same sentence, in the interests of keeping peace in the office, avoid doing so today.
I don't follow the NFL close enough to care one way or the other myself, but a couple of the guys in here live and breathe NFL (and it's probably moot to mention which team one of them follows...).

"What goes 'clang clang clang'? It's the sound of steel being spanked."
I knew that he'd be itching to taunt my co-worker about the score, and he couldn't resist that line. Just as I had anticipated, he hovered vulture-like around our office, waiting for my co-worker to arrive.
The result was rather anti-climactic. My usually hot-headed co-worker appears to have been replaced by a pod-person over the weekend, and rather than rising to the bait, he was very Zen-like and philosophical about the loss. "The better team won." Meh. People are no fun sometimes.
