The actual article was so funny, I wish they would have made it longer.

You know, I had no idea... until someone asked me to change the name of her mainland sim for her...

O_o

... once I got over the utter bizarreness of the random IM's I was getting, I started to really laugh... (yes, some DID believe it! never stop reading after two sentences!)

Phoenix got me *really* good....

grins

I don't know which is funnier, the original article or someone asking the CEO to change a sim name. ;)

"War of the Worlds" all over again. Um not that it would be a disaster if you were CEO - you'd be great.

/me nods solemnly.

Yes, it's a coup d'eFIC.

That is, if we can all agree that Prokofy has finally attained the stature of FIC.

Hell, I say put Desmond in charge. Maybe he can crack the wipe and get the transactions working for 24 hours straight. It's not like there is a whole lot he could mess up.

But before i say that, maybe I sould check to make sure he wouldn't sell SL to AOL or something like that.

But then, there is usually a very attractive signing bonus to deals like that. So if Desmond decides to take the money and run I guess I could undersatnd. After all, it's what PL did before him.

...if Desmond can't be CEO, can he at least be SL President for Life?

As opposed to wiping the crack. Something some CEO's aren't even capable of.

Only if I can be VP for life. Desmond is healthy - he could live a LONG time. VP's just sit around and collect a paycheck. I want that job! Something goes wrong? Desmond's fault. Something goes right? I helped the president with that policy. Angry press? Desmond. Ribbon cutting at a new mall, followed by snacks and free booze? Me. Maintaining a professional and steadfast image? Desmond. Boozing it up with barely legal co-eds and interns? Me.

I'm telling you - Vice Pres is the way to go.

You're the one who has to go to all the less interesting funerals though.

There's no such thing as a boring funeral if I'm there. Nobody films the VP unless he shoots someone, and even then you don't see a lot of footage. I can get away with damn near anything, including all of my favorite funeral games, like Snitch the Watch off the Dead Guy, Guess Who's Not Wearing Underwear, Who Stole the Fillings?, Funny Times With Trout the Ventriloquist and His Life-Sized Dummy, Embalming Fluid Quarters, Hit On the Widow, and many, many others.

P2 first thought of saying that the new CEO was George W. Bush, but I thought Desmond as CEO would be funnier.

Besides, Desmond has a better sense of humor.

The pranks were going on in-world in the M2 group too. P2 sent out a new notice saying that I had been selected as the new CEO at LL. I later sent one out, saying that I really did not appreciate P2 making jokes in a serious workplace, then fired him.

He came back with saying that he was an owner of the group, I couldn't get rid of him that easily, and he was going to destroy the M2 build.

I got in the last shot, saying I been sitting there all day, laughing as he tried to delete the build, as what I hadn't told him yet was that I had been hired by LL, and I now had "da POWER!!"

Fun, fun day.

That's right, the job isn't without its little perks.
