The greatest book you knew you needed but didn’t know existed,  Cubicle Warfare: 101 Office Traps and Pranks.

First of all, never take this book to work.  They will know it’s you and they will pick up some strategies as counter measures.

Second, space the pranks and torture out over time.  If the hits become too rapid fire they will be on the look out.  You don’t want that.

Or, just before you get fired, or maybe to insure you get fired, pull 25 pranks at once.  Video tape it and you will get paid.

I love quotes from fighters.  You have to be a little different in the brain pan to box for a living and then something has to be even more off to fight in Mixed Martial Arts.

In the last UFC Event, Melvin lost and Clementi stood over him making gestures that Guillard didn’t like.  From cagepotato.com (I love that name.)

“He put his nuts on the back of my head. When I catch him, I’m going to kick him in his [expletive deleted] nuts…My dad always told me if a man spit on you or slapped you, [expletive deleted] kill him. And if he put his nuts on my head on national TV, I’m going to [expletive deleted] kill him, period…as I’m getting up, it’s like he kicked me in the back of the neck, and it pushed me back down a little bit. So, I’m like, ‘What the [expletive deleted]?’ And, I jump up like, ‘No, he did not just put his nuts on my neck.’ So, that’s why I went after him like I did.”

I don’t know if “kill him” is more figurative than literal but I hope so.  A slap should not equal the revenge of a dirt nap. Go to the site for some more great quotes.

Lots more here.

A man in white and black clown makeup kicked in the door of a Marion man’s residence and punched him Friday night, police said.

Matthew Hoffner, of 121-D Southview Dr., told police that around 11 p.m., he heard a knock on his door and, when he opened it, saw three men with white face paint and black rings around their eyes and mouths, said Marion Police Lt. Steve Etzel. Hoffner closed the door, but one of the men “kicked it in” and proceeded to punch him several times.

After the men left, Etzel said Hoffner realized he knew one of the men because they “had a common gal in their past.” However, that was not the man who assaulted him.

Hoffner received minor injuries but refused treatment on the scene. Investigation is continuing.

So far I am enjoying this show partly because I like psychology and science and this show blends it quite well.  I actually feel like I am learning somethign useful.

In the show they use the concept of microfacial expressions to tell when people are lying.  It is based on real science which gives it some credibility and they use real life photos when explaining the facial tics.  They have use Presidents Clinton and Bush as well as quite a few celebrities.

So far we are three episodes in and it is doing well.  They haven’t done as good of a job with personal hooks like the Mentalist has done which is why it is the top new drama of the year.   A friend of a friend did a thesis on microfacial expressions and he regrets it.  It is like opening Pandora’s box and he knows when many people are lying.  Kind of a double-edged sword.

Check it out and give it a shot.
