You cannot stop The Ferninator

I know, I know … it’s a hosta, not a fern. How about if we say the hosta is a Model 101 and the fern is a T-1000?

Manager’s Keyboard

I took a picture of this keyboard. A fellow engineer had modified it with labels so that it would be matched to the workload of a certain co-worker of his. I apologize for the quality of the photo, but I’ll list the keys afterward.

Maybe Rae Jepsen

comic of David Letterman asking Carly Rae Jepsen if he can call her Maybe

Transcript:
Late-show host: Ladies and gentlemen … Miss Jepsen!
Carly Rae Jepsen: “Miss Jepsen” sounds too formal.
Late-show host: Can I call you Maybe?

I thought the comic could use another panel, but I decided to give the options here instead. What should Carly Rae Jepsen’s response be?

  • Sure, just don’t call me late for dinner.
  • I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley.
  • Good night Gracie.
