DAY-O.
This is about television. I would just like to point everyone in the direction of yesteryearial TV comedy Operation: Good Guys. Possibly one of the finest, and thus criminally overlooked comedies of recent times. Why not share your memories of Operation: Good Guys with each other right now?

Alternative question. If you happened to be singing the Banana Boat Song to yourself and a black gentleman walked past, would you stop singing, or cajole him into joining in?

What?

( Undulating Tentacles of Love getting fun down to acceptable levels, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:17, archived)

Why?

( manolith hooray for me, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:17, archived)

I'm sat across from the most painfully mundane man ever
NNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
( Undulating Tentacles of Love getting fun down to acceptable levels, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:18, archived)

do that at him while he's talking

( manolith hooray for me, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:21, archived)

I just duck down behind my monitors and point blank ignore him unless the question is work related
I know it's remarkably rude but I just can't speak to people like that.

one of the people in my office is a bit thick. sometimes he'll dribble out something particularly irrelevant
and i have to leave it hanging there, unresponded to.

i feel like a twat, but he has to learn
( manolith hooray for me, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:26, archived)

Yeah sounds very similar
it's awkward to not respond but the inane conversation you'd be drawn into would be worse.

his thickness has its uses.
in the office ceiling, there is a pulley system that we rigged up that lifts the ceiling panel above his head.

we used it to drop a bauble on his head at christmas. got away with doing it 3 times!

i vaguely remember seeing adverts for it several moons ago
ah... good times

I've never heard of it
You're popular cultural references are below me as I watch very little TV thus making me a better human being. Ask me another one.

Because of your enormous beard

I'd just sing louder
"Come Mr Tally-man, tally me banana"

( Mrs Sp@m, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:18, archived)

Playful punch on the shoulder
"Come on, Chalky, join in"
(bogus official shove it up your cunt, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:20, archived)

something like that

I'm proper sick of this cloudyness
I wish it would fuck off and bring out some proper sunshine so I can get the buckets out in the back garden for the kids to slosh to around in.

I have to go to work this afternoon

oh gosh
I remember just reading about them a few moments ago on the internet, great times, it makes me feel all misty just to remember how I typed their name into a search engine and then read about them

I havent read what you've taken the time to write
I will say this though. I am having an ace day.
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:22, archived)

I'd get him to join in too, knowing in my heart that he too is an aficionado of Beetlejuice

One of my favourite scenes in O:GG is when they are swimming in the final episode
and one goes for a piss in a pool and the water changes to purple and the guy starts to swim off and then does a roll and another comments that it's like the red arrows.

I just remember the one where the Guv enters a boxing match, and sends a bung to the opponent
but Bones takes the money and has a penis enlargement.

Why is the Banana song racist?
I don't think Harry Belafonte was a member of the KKK, do you?

I'd probably carry on singing.
( Wicca'd Witch needs ideas for a new sig on..., Mon 29 Jun 2009, 9:28, archived)

I didn't say it was racist.

No, you didn't.
Sorry darling, bad day.
