  1. Principality of Sealand looks like a hopping party scene.

    I really liked this episode even with the subtle advertising. Personally I don\’t mind ad overlays, or even scripted ads - I think people whine too much about it.

    Joanne you should replace the pencil with a flower. :)

      1. Stick of celery? Brings back memories of the TikiBar TV episode.

      2. Celery? Crunch.
        It is past midday on the East coast so Bloody Mary\’s are authorized I believe.

      3. Unfortunately the office kitchen is not properly equipped for such enjoyments.

        Drink one for me if you manage to get your hands on one.

      5. While celery and tomatoes (that’s tomahtoes not tomaytoes) are delicious, not to mention Worcestershire sauce, I find vodka to be a rather peculiar taste at any time of the day, or night for that matter. Regardless, here’s to those folk out there who do have their hands on a BM. Cheers.

        Most vodka tastes like industrial waste. The Russians, however, keep some good stuff for themselves, while laughing their frozen butts of at us for buying Stolichnaya. There was this little bar on Nevsky Prospekt….

      8. If you were anything like the TikiBar TV guys you would have had a few drinks and logged in from the bar. In fact Kevin’s at the bar right now!

      11. I think Ellie may have something to do with this…just sayin\’ . CC it crashes my Safari browser but I can view it on Firefox. Can\’t embed (who came up with that word?) it, because it\’s disabled. Try Firefox if you have it. Just another Tequila Casual Sunday…haha

        Only use FF here! Gives me “The url contained a malformed video id.”

        Ellie always does have that wicked gleam in her eye like she’s up to something. She calls it her ‘lazy eye’.

      13. Gin nearly always fills the void of vodka - a good substitute.

        Even though I was sad that there was no Friday episode I suppose it was all made better by Joanne\’s comments. Thanks Joanne. :+/

  2. Speaking of picky… Did you recently get a new map? It seems way too creased. You should consider ironing it out or something.

    Or maybe that\’s where Yatta\’s mysterious bottle\’s contents ended up - on the map. Hmm…

      No, it\’s their new 3D map and as someone said yesterday (and got a negative vote for it) it\’s an incoming tsunami.

      1. Perhaps they just moved it over slightly or repositioned it to a new wall.

        I will have to check my Russian spy cams in the RB rooms.

    Hey! That\’s my boat there on Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg! Or \”The Lake\” as locals say.

    OMG!! IT IS 200 … 8!! Aaaarrrrggghhhh - all those checks I wrote this week.

    I\’ll be your friend Joanne; real or Internet! Good thing I caught the secret signal of shifting the pencil back from behind the right ear to the left, but I forget if that was for tea at 2pm without B-Man\’s asparagus or for asparagus at 2pm with tea and without B-Man.

    1. Sorry I was in a rush this morning when I wrote the above. What I meant to say was: Perhaps Joanne could interview her one day…don\’t worry she won\’t bite…but might swallow you whole.

    Hey! I have a great idea for a filler Casual Friday story:

    Bre Petis builds A KILLER paper airplane, with a cam on it. Jamie plots a plan to break in to the Empire State Building and get the plane to the top floor. Ellie slips into a black Lycra bodysuit and delivers the plane to the top of the building where Joanne arrives (in a white Lycra bodysuit) via parachute (with the image of a world map on it) to actually launch the plane and follow it on it’s journey. Yatta captures the whole thing on Steve Garfield’s “Sam Adams” Nokia while Chuck provides the commentary from his “man on the ground” point of view. Oh yeah, Drew. Hmmm … I got it! With everyone out of the office and his curiosity peaked by all our questions; Drew downs the contents of that brown mystery bottle from the Holiday episodes. He’s now rolling under the desk beating himself with Ellie’s boots yelling “It’s only water damnit! It’s only water! But why can’t I see? My eyes! Nooooooo!”

    Or something like that!

    Now back to regular scheduled programming.

    1. CC. that ep is already on YouTube, just do a search under \”RocketBoom Unplugged\”

      (I know Joanne doesn\’t like vodka, but 6 bottles of wine? Stay tuned, Casual Sunday will appear once the hangover(s) disappate. Now back to you CC.)

        Crap. I thought I was onto a good idea. Oh well, back to the creative process.

        re: the hangovers - imagine; Joanne probably never thought she would actually feel like shaving her tongue!

  17. hi Joanne, if possible, please place a pin in your map at about Latitude 49.30 and Longitude 117.17 - It is approximately where you would stab the map backhandedly with your pencil held high in your left hand, thanks lots
