The letter G, H, I

Having an "ode to.." each letter makes the white board fill up fast.  So fast that I cannot keep up with posting them.

Letter F

The letter F was censored a little too.  At least this one only had a single thing we had to censor.

Letter E

For those who might think it is a stretch, the large eye in the middle is the Ozone layer, but they made it into an eye-zone layer.  Not too many people who walked into my office caught the sublety

Letter D

Note the "Dork" in the bottom left corner.  That was intended to point at me.  It's where I sit.  They just don't know that I have an invisible shield and the snide comments and arrows bounce off.  (And they wonder why I have a dumb smile on my face when they are in the middle of a rant).

The Letter C

The letter C was a result of quickly erasing the letter B.  Too many people had interesting things to draw about the letter B.

Letter A

No one knows why we started doing the alphabet, but the theme often just appears and everyone just runs with it.  Here was our brain dump on the letter A

Rational Thought

Sometimes working in a corporation you face interesting situations where all shred of rational decision making and common sense is thrown out the window for no legitimate reason.  This one was a result of that week in October.

Rated PG-13

We think that Russ is the guy peeking over Lasagne mountains.  Allen is going off hunting all the time so that will account for the gory deer hunt.  And somehow Oliver Twist got some brain matter in his tin.  Don't ask me where the ghost came from--we are leaving that up to the team of psychologists who have volunteered to analyze and document my team.  They think it will be a great service to mankind to see how the creative mind works...or doesn't.

Just plain weird

Harry potter grew old, was hit by the baldness train and Mr. Inferi came to visit him.  Dunno--you'll have to figure this one out for yourself.

Do you got Skillz?

The thing in the corner was supposed to be a raspberry.  Dunno how that happened, but whatever.  The blueberries were added in the background to make the raspberry look more berry-esque.  Nice try.

Do you got skillz?

Ode to Corporations:

Oh, the jobs people work at! Out west, near Hawtch-Hawtch,
there's a Hawtch-Hawtcher Bee-Watcher. His job is to watch...
is to keep both eyes on the lazy town bee.
A bee that is watched will work harder, you see.

Well...

He watched and he watched. But in spite of his watch,
that bee didn't work any harder. Not mawtch.
So then somebody said, "Our old bee-watching man
just isn't bee-watching as hard as he can.
He ought to be watched by another Hawtch-Hawtcher!
The thing that we need is a Bee-Watch-Watcher!"

WELL...

The Bee-Watch-Watcher watched the Bee-Watcher.
He didn't watch well. So another Hawtch-Hawtcher
had to come in as a Watch-Watcher-Watcher!
And today all the Hawtchers who live in Hawtch-Hawtch
are watching on Watch-Watcher-Watchering-Watch,
Watch-Watching the Watcher who's watching that bee.
You're not a Hawtch-Watcher. You're lucky, you see!

Ode to the 70's

Dunno how this one got started, but it must have been a trade show outburst.  We were so cooped up doing things for the show that no one gave the whiteboard any thought.  Scary the mind of an artist....

Celebrate Poo

Ah yes, we all do it.  May as well have some fun with it.

Death to clichés

These are monuments to all of the phrases that need to just die.  Words like "synergy" that get tossed around as if they are a religion and phrases like "make sure we are on the same page" are just OVERUSED.  May they all rest in peace.

These are just a few that my team is sick of.  Some are inside jokes, some are misspelled intentionally--don't expect me to explain them--someone might get offended or force us to edit my post.

Thinking outside of the Box

Thinking outside of the box is such a stupid phrase.  More often than not, people who say it don't even know what they are asking or are sitting inside of a box themselves.  This is a tribute to you--that is, if you have ever said the forbidden phrase.

Castle Email Dunce

Nice castle scenes don't stay nice for long.  This one became alive and ripped out of the hole it was inhabiting...oh wait, no that is superman under it.  Too bad Super Grover, you were too late.  Maybe you should have a reminder that the work day starts at 8:00, not 8:16.

Evil clown man

No one could tell if he was starting to look jewish or amish, but as soon as they couldn't decide, he started to take a clown profession.

Waffles are done

Ahh, the pressures of being a designer.  Poor unfortunate souls.  At least one of them will survive the waffle-making process.

Jellyfish nukes

When you bring your lunch to work and someone else talks you into going out anyway, we call that "jellyfishing."  Basically you are spineless if someone can talk you into it.

The jellyfish then started to take over the world and...

My racist team

At first this one started out as a big empty lake, then someone decided that the bottom looked like the United States.  So the top was left aquatic while the bottom began to make a racist statement.

The People's Foot

You are on your own with this one.  I have no idea where this one got started or where it ended.

AFS Paganites

Apparently we were in hell these few days.  The pagan head showed up one morning and the rest appeared a few days following.

Sci Fi Part II

What can I say?  We are a bunch of nerds.

Let me pull a rab..

Poor rabbit.  It's been a while since the magician was able to get him out of the hat.  Tragic.

Think outside of the box

Think outside of the box, but stay inside of the box.  Be creative, but do it exactly as I say.  These are some of the comments we hear daily.  We had to take this one down because some people got offended.  Maybe they needed to be.

Tribute to all things Sci-Fi

This was a blatant disregard for real life. We got into a discussion over who could beat who on Star Wars or Star Trek. It went downhill from there.

Scorched Earth

This girls added the rainbow to this spin-off of an old video game called "scorched earth."  Notice the delicately placed crosshairs.

Christmas gone Awry

Hearth and home quickly twisted into this holocaust with Mrs. Claus going postal.

The Wreath Man

It started as a wreath but then someone decided that it was more of a plant that wanted to eat everyone.

O Tannenbaum

As it was getting close to Christmas, we put a Christmas Tree on the whiteboard. Someone else titled it "O' Tannenbaum." It spun-off from there.
