Chuck Norris Fact of the Day

Chuck Norris invented black.  In fact, he invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.

Possessed Phone

The phone started dialing back at Bridget.  It's that kind of day.  

Bridget's self-deprecating quote of the day

"If you were opposing counsel, would YOU take me seriously once you met me in person?"

And the "Enlightened" Intern is...

While in India, Jose "Om" Masini journeyed to the Himalayan town of Dharamsala ("Little Lhasa"), home of the Tibetan government in exile, and attended teachings conducted by the His Holiness The Dalai Lama in his home temple.  

"Om mani padme hum." - Tibetan mantra.

Chuck Norris Fact of the Day

Chuck Norris is suing MySpace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you.

Bridget's self-deprecating quote of the day

"I'm not scrappy, I'm crappy."

Chuck Norris Fact of the Day

There is no "Ctrl" button on Chuck Norris's computer.  Chuck Norris is always in control.

Chuck Norris Fact of the Day

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.  

Give it up for the Reverend....

Jason "The Preacher Man" McKim!  Jason is an electronically ordained minister through the United Life Church and is legally licensed to perform weddings. The Universal Life Church has two beliefs: (1) do good, and (2) respect other religions. Simple enough, right?

Jason's credentials of ministry are available in PDF format at http://people.virginia.edu/~jdm2fb/Credentials%20of%20Ministry.pdf

The voters in this last poll were remarkably accurate in choosing the correct intern. When asked why, one voter responded "Jason just seems like the type of person who would do something crazy and stupid like that." Ahem.

Cookie Survey...

Upcoming Boiler Room-Specific Interactive Survey: The Cookie Showdown

We've procured six cookies from the across-the-street bakery to conduct an important survey - which cookie has what it takes to overcome the 3pm slump?

Will it be...

Java Chip? This chewy, chocolatey delight's partially melted chips will soothe the midday mayhem...
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip? Gooey chocolate chips, doughy, peanut butter cookie - unbeatable combination?
Chocolate Chip? No new twist on an old favorite, will a slight deficiency in chocolate chips defeat this contender?
Snickerdoodle? Cinnamon sugar sweetness...delicious, break-offable pieces - but can this cookie beat out the members of the chocolate quartet?
Pecan Shortbread? Crispy shortbread cookie w/ ornamental pecan: too plain, or subtle culinary genius?
Chocolate Walnut? Chocolate Walnut makes a bold move, opting for a chocolate dough base, accented with crunchy walnut pieces -
Or, the surprise last-minute entry, Katie Peacock's Butterscotch Oatmeal cookies, a deliciously unexpected pairing of traditional oatmeal flavor and rich, butterscotch pieaces?

Weigh in, readers!

Sounds of the Boiler Room - A Haiku

Bridget squeaks often.  

Working makes a peacock groan.

Oh, Boiler Room sounds. 

CONSTANT VIGILANCE

The Boiler Room has become aware of subversive efforts carried out by the Morgue (alias "Bullpen").  Motivated by jealousy over the Boiler Room's superiority, Morgue marauders have been caught raiding the Boiler Room's supplies, hijacking the printer, and engaging in acoustic espionage.  The Boiler Room appreciates your lunch invitation, but we are also wary of Morgue members bearing gifts.  We welcome friendship but any hostile attempts will be met with swift and crushing retaliation by troops from our special ops division, the Boiler Room Interns Nexus Group for Internal Tactics (BRING IT).  

LIBERATION OF LACKEY 238

As promised, BRING IT forces successfully located Lackey 238 and executed an immediate rescue operation.  Lackey 238 has been returned safely and physically unharmed though it may take time to determine the extent of his psychological trauma.  

ALL FOR ONE.....

After a daring raid, the Boiler Room Intern Nexus Group for Internal Tactics (BRING IT) liberated our distressed damsel lackey who had been invidiously imprisoned within the silent confines of Rock Fortress. Unfortunately, despite the resounding success of the covert action, we failed to anticipate the profound effect captivity had on her fragile psyche.  Our beloved distressed damsel lackey has sadly fallen victim to Stockholm Syndrome and returned to her captors.  However, our intel has revealed that Rock Fortress continues to be susceptible to infiltration by our elite troops and rescue operations will begin shortly.  A team of specialists will help rehabilitate our distressed damsel lackey once BRING IT forces successfully rescue her again.  

The whereabouts of Lackey 238 are still undetermined but our satellite surveillance has yielded positive results and a second BRING IT team is on stand-by to commence rescue once his precise location is discovered.  Stay strong Lackey 238; we will not forget you.  

  

VIVE LA RESISTANCE!

The Boiler Room has recently become aware of a nefarious plot to divide and conquer interns.  This invasion of our beloved Intern Nation is not one with guns, but one with anchor spaces in which to further isolate an already partitioned  Nation.  The Intern Nation will not stand idly by as we are picked off and forced into hiding in our own community.  Through our brave and noble Boiler Room Special Forces and Secret Intern Agents we will fight to repel this invasion by any means necessary.  

Interns united, will never be divided!

Hail to the Chief!

We pledge our unwavering loyalty to our guru, mentor, and great protector - Chief JGC!

Things about Bridget that Bridget likes.

Her neck.

What happens when you commandeer the big, comfy chair

Bridget squeaks. A lot.

Reincarnation 2008

New lackeys and new cases.  Same work. 

The Boiler Room Bloggers are back.

The Rapture?

Remember all those Twilight Zone episodes where someone goes into the bathroom at a bar (or a phone booth in a hotel lobby, etc.) and walks out a few minutes later and everyone else has mysteriously disappeared? That's a little how it feels in the Boiler Room today. Empty nest syndrome.

Feels weird, after so long cramped together here.
