Eat your heart out Jane Goodall
I love how this image makes you think I'm blogging from a rain forest, all "Gorilla's in the Mist" style.
When really, I'm just wasting company time, not doing TPS reports, all "Office Space" style.

A self-proclaimed wise-man once told me...
"Cats are kind of like bums. Always jumping out at people and pissin' on lamp posts."

I don't know if I agree, but it made me laugh.

A tip from Mr. Silverfox
"If you would like to exude sophistication and be acknowledged by elite circles of rich and famous people, transfer your Wal-Mart brand olive oil into a decorative bottle."

Six ~~More~~ Weeks?

Hey Phil, I hear you saw your shadow!
Why don't we try just "Six Weeks of Winter"? This year I think the "more" seems a bit presumptuous.

If there's a downspout problem, Yo, I'll solve it!

The end of January always makes me sad...
So does the beginning...
Along with the 29 day in between.

Sit in front of this for 5 minutes and you'll probably still feel pretty hopeless.

In case you were wondering what a one-legged fly does on a wednesday... It goes for a ride on the hood of my car.

Remember when...

If the log rolls over we'll all be dead!
This joke was hilarious... in 1987.

So much for being artistic.

You sir, are a Gear Hoarder...
It won't be long before your most cherished possessions are nestled amongst empty Hot-Pocket boxes, arthritic cats and little bits of stained yarn.

2012-01-09T16:00:00.000-07:00

The strawberries taste like strawberries.
The snozzberries taste like snozzberries.
The crackberries taste like... crackberries?

2012-01-06T16:00:00.000-07:00

To be honest, I'm not quite sure whats going on here.
To be a liar, there's one helluva a rave on the other side of that mountain.

01.04.12

2012-01-04T16:00:00.000-07:00

Is it a prawn or a shrimp?
Either way, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

I would like to thank Hallmark for producing the "Fisher Price House Party" 2011 commemorative ornament.
And also for recognizing that no house party is complete with out a visit from Scumbag Steve* (in the lower lefthand window!)

12.29.11

2011-12-29T16:00:00.000-07:00

What I learned over the holidays.

It's not a good idea to ask a "cheese specialist" (Fromagetologist?), " Does this come in individually wrapped slices?"

Post Christmas Tradition.
For the seventh year in a row , Marjorie Krinkle spent the day after Christmas drinking Everclear and anxiously awaiting the delivery of her 4 month supply of Zoloft.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love told me a joke about drummers.

What do you call a drummer that breaks up with his girlfriend?
Homeless.

2011-12-20T16:00:00.000-07:00

On the ninth day of Christmas... there was a lady, dancing. But not the kind of lady that mistakenly stabs herself with a shard of broken mirror in an attempt to attain dancing perfection.

12.19.11

2011-12-19T16:00:00.000-07:00

On the eighth day of Christmas... There were maids making tea for a tea party and there was probably some milking going on. I suck at the 12 days of Christmas.

In my office.

Because its cold.

You see what I did there?

12.06.11

2011-12-06T16:00:00.000-07:00

What is it?
It's the teat of a quince. They remind me of my grandpa... quinces, not teats... well for the most part anyhow.

12.05.11

2011-12-05T16:00:00.000-07:00

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You made it so the nosy neighbors couldn’t see.
Who knew you could fly higher than an eagle,
Thanks to the wind beneath your locking tongue & groove, titanium-reinforced, lattice-accented vinyl wings.

So, you were wondering where freeze-dried corn came from?

11.29.11

2011-11-29T16:00:00.000-07:00

And there was this...

11.28.11

2011-11-28T16:00:00.000-07:00

Hope you enjoyed "Black Friday" or as we like to call it here at FOP HQ, "OCCUPY WAL-MART".

Now, GET BACK TO WORK!

The Miracle of Thanksgiving?
Cream of mushroom soup, green beans and burnt onions somehow become an 'appetizing' side dish... a miracle indeed.

2011-11-15T16:00:00.000-07:00

Chicken S#*t!
Today I promised my boss I wouldn't talk about laxatives in our meeting.
I think I have officially hit rock bottom* in Corporate America.

* no pun intended, sort of.

2011-11-14T16:00:00.000-07:00

Monday Crisis

Apparently there is some confusion as to whether you can use food stamps to purchase nachos and a box of condoms (on a Monday afternoon NO LESS!)
And from what I observed, said "confusion" ultimately results in cheesy-goodness dripping down a 7-Eleven Company issued polyester smock.

11.11.11

2011-11-11T16:00:00.000-07:00

A FOP REQUEST: The Home Depot... in my mouf.

And... YES I SAVED THEM!!!!
At $625 a piece, they represent the largest part of my retirement portfolio.

11.10.11

2011-11-10T16:00:00.001-07:00

Just thinking
Today I found myself wondering what percentage of the crud in my keyboard is made up of Pop-Tart an what percentage is some sort of expunged human waste. Gross.

11.09.11

2011-11-09T16:00:00.000-07:00

What? You don't like that color?
Where I come from, I do believe you'd get your butt kicked for painting it that color.

11.08.11

2011-11-08T16:00:00.000-07:00

Who Me?
I'll be right back... talk amongst yourselves!

11.07.11

2011-11-07T16:00:00.000-07:00

It's all relative...

Client: Cant you just make my logo red... Not cherry red, but RED! Like TOMATO RED.

FOP: Yup.

11.04.11

2011-11-04T16:00:00.000-06:00

Dude I think I found Chris Tucker's spirit animal.

11.03.11

2011-11-03T16:00:00.000-06:00

I got nothing.
I sat in a TacoTime parking lot at lunch for 30 minutes today...
Waiting for inspiration for today's FOP caption.
And the only thing I got was a stern lecture about loitering, and the environmental ramifications of idling my car.

11.02.11

2011-11-02T16:00:00.000-06:00

Día de los Muertos

A day where dead people party like there's no tomorrow... which is confusing to me.

10.25.11

2011-10-25T16:00:00.000-06:00

10.13.11

2011-10-13T16:00:00.000-06:00

Once in a while, everybody needs a little spooning.

10.12.11

2011-10-12T16:00:00.000-06:00

Every thing's a bit slower 'round here...

Done looks like Larry the Cable Guy must be doin' a double feature at the Westerner or there's a Two-fer-One special at Bocephus Taxidermy.

09.21.11

2011-09-21T16:00:00.000-06:00

SILVRFX: I have a question about my new camera.

FOP: Oh? What's up dad?

SLIVRFX: How do you take a picture of the sun or sunsets without damaging the (insert some fancy technological name here) sensor?

FOP: uh... Thats a tough one... You say there's a sensor?

METH-amorphasis
The physiological process by which previously vibrant and beautiful being becomes tattered, worn and sinks into an utter state of hollow-cheek-oozing-scab hopelessness. Once evicted from the familial cocoon, it moves into a urine-soaked trailer with its gun trading boyfriend and its babies are taken away.
