STFU and get back to work!

I'd say more likely a symbol of ownership. It's a leash.

GOODBYE, pop-up hell!

ELAINE
      Please, ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Listen to me! [They calm down.]
ELAINE
      We've been thrown off course just a tad.
PASSENGER
        What's that mean?
ELAINE
      In space terms, about 70 million miles. [The Passengers appear interested and sensible, nod their heads]
ELAINE
    The bumps you feel are car-sized asteroids smashing into the hull. The hood of a car smashes through the cabin wall. [The Passengers still appear interested and sensible.]
ELAINE
      Also, we're heading right for the sun and can't seem to change course. [Passengers still appear interested and sensible. They all put on sunglasses.]
PASSENGER
      Are you telling us everything?
ELAINE
      Not exactly. We're also out of coffee. [The Passengers erupt in total panic.]

just sayin'

"While I can accept that music would be less distracting that office chatter, I simply don't understand the concept that music is better than silence."

Dude, you have not heard the voices inside my head. Otherwise, you would see clearly the point being made.

Bring it back!? Who said anything about bringing it back???

"The claims of evolution skeptics and round-earth skeptics is not backed up by observation and evidence."

This is not true. It's nice and quaint (and traditional) to get on board and lump something that we have evidence of, seeing a round earth from space, and something which we cannot prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, namely, what happened 5 to 10 thousand years ago. What would be scientific and logical of someone would be that, when finding the same type of data that supports current evolution theory, is not to toss it out because it doesn't support the existing theory. This happens over and over again and is circular reasoning.

I'm wise enough to say I can't know what happened 5 thousand years ago and that just because someone with a degree says something doesn't mean shit. There are more than two possibilities here in this bipolar world.

Everyone knows the worlds weather is changing. Wouldn't it be something if it was always the same? Lining points up on a graph doesn't prove anything. Say it again kids: correlation doesn't prove causality. Why don't you here people talking about how ALL of the planets in our solar system are heating up simultaneously? That is an observable fact we have now.

It's called a cable. Look into it.

Seriously, they come 50 foot lengths with plugs already on them, or add the plugs later. "Y" and male/female adapters are cheap and so are remote volume controls. Goes under floors and inside walls to pass wife test.

Happy pulling...

I want to see ads for tools and not tampons. I WANT targeted ads!

"You have to bypass the Heisenberg Compensaters to create an inertial sump, then reverse the polarity on the Warp Field Generators, then combine the streams(yes, this time you do!) and reroute the output to the deflector dish to emit a focused tachyon pulse that has to be synchronized and modulated with the inertia compensator's artificial gravity generator, pipe your Tor proxy through that and Lynx then flies at near light speeds down the 'tubes'!"

[rolls eyes and licks lips]: It's almost TOO easy!

"No. I am not "four years old". Are you?"

So... your comeback to "Are you 4 years old?" is "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?"

Sweet!

"...if they didn't know for sure it was safe"

There is no way they can know the complete soil mechanics in 3D in a deep drilling process. It's not like predicting the path of a billiard ball or something. Unless... of course! They're going to use Google Earth(TM) to map it out!
