Title: All I Really Need To Know I Learned from TheBestShow
Post by: Matthew_S on May 28, 2009, 02:21:19 PM

(I was going to develop this more, but given my time restraints, I just decided to throw it out there)


1) Be polite. (Conversations start with a friendly greeting.)

2) Be prepared / think ahead. (If everyone is talking about The Topic, your call should also be about The Topic and you should not be surprised/perplexed if you are asked about The Topic)

3) Authority should be respected, but questioned.  (Tom invites you to join his show and Tom is in control of the show, but Tom is not always truthful though.)

4) Shared interests can build strong friendships (see this message board).

5) Death threats are a quick&easy way to end any conversation.  (self-explanatory)

I second this. "heave ho" has crept into my own regular vocabulary over the last six months (or whatever it's been). It's been a rare week when I don't find myself muttering "heave ho" under my breath at some point.

I'm still a GOMP man, myself.  Mostly because I work with a phone strapped to my head for 8 hours a night.  "Get Off My Phone" comes in handy.

I say this to my kids at least once a day about things like eating vegetables, dentist appointments, apologizing to their sibling, etc.
