Boss Man?
Mega Carol, ready, go!
(Also, [work]? How many bossmen she has?)
… and now I realize it was a stupid question to ask people why they want waterproof cellphones (though it seems to be a standard feature for most of those high end/gorilla-glassed gizmos).
I had to be born poor and irish, so I don’t have neither a bath tub nor a hat.
Bossman Work, Bossman Home, Bossman Cell, maybe?
We of course had it tough. I lived in a shoebox in the middle of the road…
You had a shoebox.. lucky. We lived in a hole… and our father beat us to death every night.
we got better though.
So your saying you had a father? lucky! For us it was just some rando off the street who beat us.
I live where i want!
Pro tip: a ziploc sandwich bag is an effective waterproof case for a smart phone. A gallon bag works for a tablet or e-reader.
It was the Bossman in the secret lab with the stasis tube.
…my bad. It was Col. Mustard.
Ff – it -flam – flames. Flames, on the side of my face.
Maybe, but it’s pretty much Mist Scarlet all over the lab, now…
Oh, what, nothing? C’mon, THAT WAS GOOD!
Isn’t HR more like Professor Plum?
Waaaaaiiit a minute. A woman who can afford an apartment with a bathroom like that can totally afford better products than Dove and VO5.
Maybe she realizes that soap is soap, and that as long as it gets you clean, it’s perfectly acceptable. She seems to me like the type to maintain personal hygiene only as much as needed to achieve her goals. Why waste money on fancy shampoo when that money could go toward furniture to impress visitors and potential clients?
She might not think that the higher end bath products are really that good, and so she spends her money on other lavish things, as Freako said. However, I’d assume she’s putting it towards expensive foods, eating out frequently, hobbies, etc. You can only buy so much furniture and she probably doesn’t need to host clients very often.
I’m actually rather surprised that he called her though. My assumption is he wants help with disposal… so I guess she is kind of the only person to call.
Agreed: just because it is expensive doesn’t mean it is any better than the ‘cheaper’ stuff
‘s called ‘Product Placement’. All the best web comics are funded that way now. :-)
I fuckin’ wish.
Oh come on Phil, I know you got that sweet “Chipſ” money just rollin’ in.
i guess he does have the money coming in, but it goes right out just as fast. I mean, Phil, you have such a heavy web comic production habit. It sure eats up your money right fast.
just because they can, does not mean they do buy the pricy stuff.
There’s nothing particularly lavish looking about that bathroom, is there? (I see toilet, cabinet, tub, hamper, paper wainscoting.) There’s not even a shower.
She should be flattered. H.R. considers her to be a true friend.
Anyone should be flattered to be on the good side of someone who does the Vader routine when disturbed.
…by someone’s lack of faith.
Have a [i]little[/i] faith, he said…
ahem…

She needs a better personalized ring tone for him.
My suggestion? “I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me.”
Hey, that’s MY ringtone!
“Oh Mac iPhone, Mac iPhone, product placement with Mac iPhone, iTunes, Twitter, while on the shitter!…”
— Master Tang’s (Hui Lou Chen) Greatest Hits
man, a gold star, those are rare these days….
And apparently given out for indiscernible reasons.
“I killed that one guy.”
“Who?”
“One of our redshirts.”
Exactly. Now let’s play their theme song while we mourn.
Sorry, I just…there’s a…
“DETROOOOOY”
Detroit my sweater? The winters can get rather cold, I hear.
Fixto.
IF he killed him, and hot just wounded him, things gonna go FUBAR when Police hears of this.
Simple hypothesis.
i guess the body tank company just got another order to fill. i guess his color will be purple.
The cafeteria will have a Friday Soylent Green special.
It’s time for Carol to accessorize…in MURDER!
she’s up to her neck in it;)
“Hey, Carol. I found your keys, in case you were looking for them. Oh, don’t worry, that bearded dude got them and bring them down for you. I got them here, so you can stop worrying over it. Yeah, see you. Oh, by the way, I totally kill him. What ? You wanted to give him a raise ? Well, he sure need one right now, right ? RIGHT ?”
I lol’d
Ferris isn’t dead, he was knocked unconscious so HR Huffnstuff could easily place him in one of the spare tubes (he is already ingame as the GM)
Pretty sure H.R. is entering the tube, based on Brother Tom’s prediction. As for tube number two…I highly doubt it’s Ferris.
Great. Now I’m going to be listening to Weezer the rest of the day.
For real though, the Blue Album is pretty much flawless.
Phil… Weezer was a 90’s band. the 90’s… and it makes me feel so old looking back at them. My Feels are hurting even worse now knowing those bands are long gone and replaced by the filth and crudness of Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus (yes, she is garbage now), justian beiber. i know youtube still has some good stuff left there.
I don’t get the point of complaining about the few overhyped craptastic musicians of the day, given the ease of access to streaming music servers offering pretty much everything ever recorded, including thousands of new musicians, and there are several services, free or cheap, that can analyze my tastes and predict, with surprising accuracy, what else I might like.
In the 80s, growing up in hicksville, I couldn’t afford to buy CDs, and I had one radio station I could listen to that played music I liked, usually; I had no influence on their playlist, of course. Now, I have access to several orders of magnitude more music, on demand, including everything that one radio station used to play.
So I can understand complaining about Bieber, et. al., if you’ve got some roommate or family member who insists on playing them loud. But, otherwise, why even mention them?
They had CDs in the 80’s? o_O
(forgot to add)
Got first CD in the 90’s (The Lost Boys soundtrack), got first CD player a couple years later :P
You sound so enthusiastic.
Wow. That was Weezer? But the lyrics… They’re so terrible!
“I accidentally the whole employee.”
“..into the next tank”
I fixed that for ya.
And then Carol was afraid to ever bathe again.
Some things are best not discussed on the phone
“Hi Carol, I made a whoopsie. Bring a shovel, some hip waders, six gallons of bleach, and a double-meat double-cheese Big Mac. I need comfort food.”
Five bucks says she drops the phone.
into or out of the tub?
I meant into, but then, I was assuming H.R. would name names…
Looks like we are going to need to change that ringtone to ‘Heads Explode’
if he has called to say he killed the dude instead of incapasitating him i hope she gives him an ear full about what a good employee he was and convices him to somehow bring him back in some way/form
