Fezmid Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 So we hired a new sysadmin last week. Guy seems cool enough. Yesterday he brings in a picture of his child and what do I see the kid wearing? A Dolphins shirt!!! What the heck, don't we screen these applicants before hiring them?!?!? He hasn't said anything to me about my Bills jacket, so I'm not sure if he's really a fan or if someone in the family just thought the shirt looked nice. I'll have to figure that out... All I can say is that, if he really is a Dolphins fan, we better squish the fish twice next year! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Dolphins shirt!!! 1. hijack the picture when the guy is at lunch 2. photoshop a Bills jersey on to the kid. 3. replace the picture 4. hilarity ensues.

If he does that, prod him into insulting the Vike's SB history, which will gain him a *lot* of friends there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 No, those are the fun relationships. Can't change his homepage to tbd.com can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJsackedagain Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I say out him as a dolphins fan, put a picture of Cecil Collins on his office door and then sit back and enjoy the comedy that unfolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned before that we have an unwritten rule that, if you leave your terminal unlocked, you're fair game. He's already done it once (and has only been here a week!). Next time he leaves it unlocked, I change his homepage. That's subtle enough. I like the Cecil Collins thing, although he could always shoot back with an OJ comment (although at least that happened two decades after he was done playing...). I also like the Photoshop idea, but I don't have PS at work and am not very good with it anyway A well placed sticker on the picture frame might work though CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 OT? 266738[/snapback] No - it's football related, both Bills and Dolphins. At least, that was my thinking on why I didn't OT it. If another mod thinks otherwise, feel free to iconify the post.

I know someone on TSW can photoshop it. Also, leave a note on his desk saying "4-12" If he's a real fan, he'll take immediate offense. If he's only a casual fan, he'll ignore it. This will tell. Yeah I know, I'm a dolfan, but I can appreciate a good joke. And I think Ramius might be in for a few now that the seeds have taken root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loadofmularkey Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Next time you're having a nice, normal conversation with him and things are starting to wrap up is when you have the best opportunity to throw a little shot at him. Say, "By the way, Kelly owned Marino" real casually and just walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Get a random drug test done on him. If he is subjecting his child to Dolphins gear there is something wrong going on there. Poor soul is obviously under the debilitating, mind numbing control of some terrible chemical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
