from the department of poorly made decisions that oddly serve to illustrate a point

The gender identification letters on the doors of the bathrooms at the new office suite we rent in are magnets. So you can move them around. Or switch them. Or remove them. Or bring obscene magnetic poetry into the workplace under cover of night.

Right now we have "om w en".

This is not for the win, kids.

at a mnstf pool party once, someone labelled the bathrooms "carbon" and "silicon". it was fun to see people turn around and head to the other bathroom.

[demotu.livejournal.com]

I hope from the silicon one, to the carbon one.

i suppose it's better than "we nom".

OMG, I think I have to walk over there and change it right now.

LOLspeak for the win!

/eta: there was a discussion at metaquotes about sam_storyteller's Torchwood Chicago, and various people speculating where the TW base might be located. Someone suggested Millennium Park as the location for the equivalent of the Roald Dahl Plass entrance... thought it might amuse.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Hahahah, yes! Because that's all we said that entire bloody trip.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

D'oh!

Agreed, for the fail.

Though the magnetic poetry has possibilities.

Can you order a set of these?

unrelated:

i *finally* saw torchwood. amazing!

[rm.livejournal.com]

OH yay! I hearts it. How much have you seen?

[theotoky.livejournal.com]

one half of an episode. i have no idea what was going on! but i loved it and want more. ;-)

[rm.livejournal.com]

hahahaha. awesome. Which episode? I'm realizing there are random minor characters in the series that you will love because they are so creepy and weird.

[theotoky.livejournal.com]

it may have been called "end of days" (??). no clue. i have to find out when it is on with any regularity so i can figure out which season they are in and try to play catch up. it was on CBC when Dr. Who is usually on so i don't know if it will be back or what!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, yes. I was thinking "she'll love Billis Manger".

Netflix it, because I think for the third season CBC has dropped it because it's not Canadian, so I'm not sure how much longer they will be running it.

During our "Men in Skirts" exhibition someone affixed a skirt to the figure on the men's bathroom door. It was there for two years before it finally fell off.

The bathroom designations mean nothing in our department, people just use whichever one is open since the office is 90% female.

I just realized: In the Rowlingverse, all the men wear robes, right? The implications there amuse me.

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh!! Are you kidding? This is so **totally** for the win!

Can I come over and play with the bathroom doors?

[sageautumn.livejournal.com]

Wait til someone goes in... switch after they're in there.

Fun, maybe. But... ugh.

mix and match

(LOLMagnetz at thinkgeek.com -- come on. you want to. you know you do.)

[shipchan.livejournal.com]

In my middle school the words had worn off the bathroom doors and someone had written "Humans" and "Androids".

[ekatarina.livejournal.com]

The queer office at UVic had a sign set with the classic icons labled "People Wearing Umbrellas" and "People with Wedgies".

You need OMEN and MEWN.

Everyone loves doom and Welsh prepositions.

That's good. What's sad is that there are a million video cameras in our office suite, so I have to be stealth to cause mayhem with their stupidity.
