Peep Dioramas

April 25, 2009 by Heather | No comments

We had a Peep diorama contest at work this past week, inspired by the Washington Post’s annual contest. Alex, Christen, Emily, and I made a diorama as an homage to American Gladiators, which sadly didn’t win, but did receive a nod as something we’d have been likely to have done regardless. Uh, probably. More photos available on Flickr.

My personal favorite, the Wizard of Oz diorama.  Oh yes, the Yellow Brick Road is made of microwaved Peeps.

Wrapped cube prank, originally uploaded by scpetrel.

200 feet of wrapping paper – about $12.
Wrapping a coworker’s entire cube in that paper and putting the contents of his desk under the Christmas tree – priceless.

The rest of the photos are here.

I think we’ve all been tempted to go Office Space on our work equipment and this is possibly the funniest take on that idea that I’ve ever seen.

Dreaded, but really funny, typo

January 19, 2006 by Chopper | 1 comment

There are some things that, as a copy editor, you dread seeing coming across the wire. Some are tragic, like obit notices (most notably, the tense wait for word on Dale Earnhardt after the 2001 Daytona 500). Some just mean the night’s going to get a little more exciting, like the obligatory notice the Associated Press sends out when a no-hitter passes the six-inning mark (meaning that your nice, nifty layout you’ve had set since 4:30 p.m. may or may not be changing 10 minutes before deadline.)

And then there are ones that are just damn funny.

Ethics test

September 20, 2005 by Chopper | 1 comment

This was passed along to me by a friend at work. Thought it might be fun to share with the group.

This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. No one else will know, so you won’t be fooling anyone but yourself if you give anything but a truthful answer.
