Fun little game: Part Deux (Oct 10, 2007)
-
Upon finishing the model, Tim saved it to the server for easy morning retrieval. Still, Tim was irritated (though somewhat amused) with being threatened with his job. To add some levity to the situation (as he was the office clown), Tim placed a Teletubbies screen saver on his bosses computer. He even put a password lock on it so Mr. Cranky could not change it.
-
When it came time for Bob to leave, he noticed the screen saver...
-
and calls Tim. Tim expecting to be threatened again is more than a little worried about his future.
Fortunately, Bob, his boss, is a closet Teletubbies fan and only wants Tim to replace the generic office characters in his model with new models of Tinky Winky, La La, Dipsy and Po.
-
Suddenly, ...
-
Tim's evil twin brother and arch nemesis, Tom comes in with a view to stake his claim as 'Sketchup monkey' for the office
-
Tom's long tail, hands with no opposable thumbs and arms which reach to his knees seem to give away the fact that he will not be very good on the computer, but Bob, being in MANAGEMENT, only notes that Tom has long toes and should be able to keyboard at twice normal speed. He can also control the mouse with his tail. Tom is brought in to replace Tim and two other employees. All that and he works for bananas.
-
However, Tom's smug self gratification is quickly smashed the next day, when he learns the client the presentation is for is non other than The Man with the Yellow Hat! His devious scheme has backfired and inadvertantly saved Tim...for now.
-
Meanwhile, Tim's wife, Ingabord, is at home washing the family station wagon in the driveway when through a surprising series of events she discovers that she has superhuman...
-
... sensibilities that now tells her that she should not be doing such a manly job as washing the station wagon. She resolves to leave it to Tim next time, even though she is the one using it.
Tim, in the meantime, is desperately trying to get intouch with Carla so that he can off load the day's stress over a drink or two and still get home early enough to avoid suspicion.
-
Ingabord's super-human sensibilities have already tipped her off to Tim's extra curricular activities. She knows that Tim and Carla have been working on a SketchUp model of their entire town and that their inability to let go of details has taken them over the edge of sanity. She realizes that she is going to have to stop them from . . .
-
....trying to run their model through a rendering program. With all the parameters and surfaces (it is the entire town, after all) it will take forever. But before Ingabord can do anything about it, she must deal with her own demon - she's become addicted to Sketchucation, and exchanging very private messages with....
-
...herself. Upon realizing this she checks herself into...
-
.......creating a component of the boss to but plunging to his death of the clock tower. suddenly they here cackling laughter behind them at the wall socket. Tom is there, with an evil grin across his face. The PC goes dead only leaving the back up with the plunging boss.........
-
...screaming like a girl...
-
..."Oh the humanity, the humanity!"
Meanwhile, across town, the office tea boy (whatever that is) is sitting in a coffee shop (ironic, huh?) with his laptop, playing around with SketchUp.
-
Of course being an office tea boy (whatever that is) he was modeling his tea cup (he's not very imaginative) in the coffee shop (yes, ironic) and quietly singing to himself, "I'm a little tea pot short and stout...."
-
Which was even more ironic, since the office tea boy (whatever that is) is tall and skinny. While grappling with the task of trying to model his teacup, the office tea boy (whatever that is) looked up and saw someone he recognized from their avatar on the sketchucation website. It was none other than....
-
...Eric Lay. But he was still wearing his mask so his true likeness remains concealed. Still, the office tea boy (whatever that is) was happy that somebody would finally talk to him. Too bad it wasn't a woman as the office tea boy (whatever that is) is rather lonely.
-
Excited to see Eric Lay, the lonely office tea boy (whatever that is) jumped out of his seat, grabbed his lap top, and started to rush towards Eric, calling "Boo! Boo!" In his eagerness to show off his modeled tea cup (which looked more like a coffee mug - more irony), the lonely and ironic office tea boy (whatever that is) forgot his laptop was plugged in. With a sudden jerk, the office tea boy (whatever that is)went flying backwards, crashing into a table occupied by none other than.....
-
...Ross Macintosh! This incident is where his trademark expression originated. Ross is mighty agitated but on seeing office tea boy (whatever that is)'s SketchUp model on the laptop screen which is now lying on the pavement, he cooled down and helped office tea boy (whatever that is) to his feet.
Eric Lay had come to meet Ross and is extremely amused by the incident happening infront of him.
