What's a fax machine? Is it one of those devices that office workers used during the stone age?

Siege warfare and smallpox are also commonly seen around that office.

@5 Sorry, I don't know how to use the fax machines. I thought they just give me the fax.

Fuck Christmas. Fax machines, however, are magical. How do they get the paper through the phone lines?! Awesome.

Merry Christmas, Slogerati! You sometimes make me crazy with rage, but I keep coming back. I guess that makes you like family?

One thing you have to understand is that Fnarf sometimes takes a little whisky.

I'm pro-science, you would not believe the filth and tumbledown squalor that is the Stranger offices. I've seen them. Those partition walls, even the one with the stain, are probably the nicest things in there.

I too am surrounded by those partitions at my work, and if there was some way I could lay another one on top to complete the sixth wall of my cell, I would.

Not a creature is stirring. Not a single car on Aurora. I'm a little tight on my Christmas booze; having a snack from the Chinese leftovers. Goodwill to men. Even Will in Seattle deserves to be happy tonight.

@17, Horizontally saddleback of course.

@18, I know what you mean. At times I find myself screaming at the screen while reading slog comments.

Fnarf, last call. You'll be sorry for this in the morning.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

What, are the remaining english muffins in that bag not worthy of a shout out, grant? I suspect they are cinnamon raisin given their color and purple tinged bag and I think they deserve a little respect. Even if it comes from you. XO

There is a coffee stain on that office divider.
I figured this is how you people live.
