Last lunch before Greece

Hope to see you guys there!

Lunch!

I will not eat lunch on a train, I will not eat lunch in the rain. I will not eat lunch Sam I am.

And by that I mean I'll be at lunch today at about Noon. Yay!

OMG I'll be at lunch today!

OMG!!!

Monday Nerdware

Hey everybody, I have to run downtown today to buy some softwares. So I'll be at lunch some time between 12:00 and 12:30!

Praerie dogs beware!

Klake and I headed to Sparti's Gyros for a late lunch after spending most of our day off in the blissful thrall of Super Mario Galaxy, and discovered that this local restaurant offers the very same mac 'n' cheese bites made famous by a previous No Complaints field trip to the Des Moines zoo! $3.99 buys you a side order of these delicious, triangular wads of fried mac 'n' cheese.

Lunch Member's Wedding Photo Revealed!

So I was on a wedding site looking at photos of random people's wedding ceremonies, and you'll never guess whose candid photo I came across. That's right, the Schumachers! Jessica, I can't believe you made Carl sit on that little pony. I mean seriously, he looks like an f'ing student.

Schooled

On this first day of school for the little kids in IC, don't be a f'ing student and come to lunch!

Wonk? Nudge? Dudge? Lunch?

Which would you prefer? I choose lunch. I assume you lazies will arrive at about 12:15 so I'll just work 'till then.

Papa's Got a Brand New Bag

And by "brand new bag" I mean my "usual navy blue Kamco Plastics bag." In other words, there will be no mix-ups today, at least not by this guy.

Local Recluse Attends Lunch

Sir Brumm the Abysmal

The lunch attendance this week of Sir Brumm (pictured left) has been nothing short of abysmal.

Alas, his attendance woes shall continueth today, which will bring his weekly tally to but one successful appearance.

Please forgive him. Next week he shall quest to be less of an a-hole.

Bridal Luncheon!!!

The "Other" Bill Adams and his friend Kate will be joining us for lunch so she can meet the "Other" Bill Adams!!!

Be prepared to talk weddings - yay!!! :)

Lunch anyone?

I'm in!

And you thought Trek Fest was nerdy

This past weekend there were at least 2 current Mo' Complaints contributors (plus 1 alum) who partook in the Madison's annual Great Taste of the Midwest beer fest!

Pictured to the left is what we in the business refer to as a brew nerd. "BNs" can be easily recognized by their trademark pretzel necklace, but certain sub-species are also known to carry beer scorecards and stupid grins on their faces. To meet a real life BN, come to lunch today.

I had a cupcake this big for breakfast this morning so I may not be too hungry, but I will be at lunch today.

Come to EMRB for lunch today

Because we have fun together.

I'll be at EMRB today

Other friend rejected me.

Sob sob.

Local psychers head to EMRB

Hans and I are famous!

Well, I take all the credit. You'll have to come to lunch today to find out why!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

It's my birthday. All lunch hour we will be celebrating me.

I'll be at lunch this week!

So let's do it. Lunch is fun. Why would you work over your lunch hour? Are you getting paid for it? Would you normally work without pay? Be there at Noon.

I do not know how to embed videos so click on it.

You are not my friend unless you like Michael and Michael Have Issues.

Appetite For Destruction Thursday @12:30???

You're In EMRB, Baby. Wake up. Time to...Eat!!

(Note: Bill will be late today, so I've agreed to meet him at 12:30ish instead of the usual time...)

Wednesday Lunch Delay 'till 1:00PM

Hey everybody, the Philibert lab is having an impromptu meeting at noon because one of our students is leaving this week. So I will still be at lunch today, but I won't be there 'till 1:00. Mike, if you can wait that long, I do have a present for you today ...!

Egyptions Erect Tribute to "Sphinx" Adams

I just found this photo, which has been making the rounds on the Internet. Evidently, the Egyptian people were so enthralled with their most recent visitor that they attached a giant cardboard color cutout of Bill's face onto a sphinx.

This and more will be discussed at lunch today.

I will be at lunch today

And all this week unless something comes up. So c'mon down!

When I die I want you all to build one of these for me.

In the meantime, I'll be at lunch today at Noon!

Was I in transit 36 straight hours just for Mo' Complaints?

You know that I don't have any other friends ... I'll be at lunch today, hope to see you there!

EMRB Eases the Pain

I don't know if anyone caught the British Open on Sunday, but I haven't been this depressed by a sporting event since Hulk Hogan turned heel in 1996. Perhaps lunch can cheer me up...

Honest to blog

I'll be at lunch today. Follow me there! And on Twitter, @seanathompson.

It's Friday

I know it's Friday, but I am heading to the EMRB. Care to join me?

Thursday?

Anybody else lunching today? If I don't see anybody in the dining area, I, not unlike a grizzly bear in winter, will likely migrate to a warmer area, aka the outdoor seating if there is any.

Tombstone Tuesday

I'll be at lunch today (Noon, EMRB) and I'll be eating some leftover Tombstone Pizza from Sunday night. And be forewarned that anyone who tries to take a bite out of my pizza when I'm not looking will shortly thereafter be on the receiving end of a Tombstone Piledriver, as demonstrated in the below video by The Undertaker!

The Look of Lunch

As mentioned during Friday's "lexicon vs. vernacular" debate, here's the video for ABC's "The Look of Love" (off the album The Lexicon of Love). I think the horn at the beginning was also used in those Ricola ads in the 90s. Lunch today?

w00t!!

I'm back, homeslices, and lunch will be had my me with you.

An apology.

J, did I hurt your feelings yesterday? Did I cross a line? Would you like me to apologize?

TOO BAD!
COME GET SOME, WOMAN!

(I'm ready for ya!)

A Modest Proposal

If Jonathon Swift* had been** a contemporary*** Mexican**** satirist*****:


(*Look it up, Jessica.)
(**He's dead now.)
(***Look it up, Jessica.)
(****Or Texan, but border-close.)
(*****Look it up, Jessica.)

Careful......

The More You Know....


Without me there today to break up your bites with laughter, you may look like this by 1:00pm. Watch your food intake, and maybe keep from overeating by punching each other in the mouths occasionally. Hey, we're all in this together.

Still gone?

Wish you were here. Enjoy the snackies without me today.

OH NOES!!!

Today you will be missing me as much as I am missing Billy Mays.

Happy Fourth of July

And none of you better be online right now reading this.

Let's send Bill to Egypt properly. Sounds like a euphemism for something. (Camel image is first Google image search for Egypt, suspenders guy is first Bill Egypt search)

Today will be my last lunch for 3 weeks

Just sayin'. Be there or we're not friends anymore.

What's a Star Trek Convention without Storm Troopers?

So much has happened since I last dined with you all...

...and we shall discuss it all at lunch today.

Why Iowa? Because it's time for a sandwich.

Phil Got Married

And to celebrate, I will be at lunch today! Everyone meet Sue Bohle.

I'm on my way to lunch.

I'm on my way to lunch.

Lunch bites back!!!!!

Come to lunch if you dare!!!!

AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

this time I'll really be there!

HI! I'm back. Would you eat lunch with me?

I will be at lunch today

Sayin'

Anti-Earth Day

I'm not yet sure if I'll be riding a styrofoam Hummer directly into EMRB, or if I'll just be bringing my lunch in a styrofoam container, but by one of these two means I will be doing my small part to destroy the earth. Will you?

Harinder's last day

Hey everybody, the Philibert lab is eating lunch downtown today because it's Harinder's last day. She's been with Rob the longest of all of us, so this is the end of an era! We'll fill you in on the juicy details tomorrow.

Research Assistants Unite!

Is anyone up for lunch today? Or, to phrase it differently, is anyone "down with" lunch today?

Thursday Lunch

I'll be there today, I may or may not be late because I'm working with Rob right now.

First Image Result 4 "Sean Thompson"

Hans, Bill and myself have all been subjected to this game, and now it's Sean's turn. Looks like somebody has a secret -- a potentially lucrative secret that could earn him big bucks should he make it to MLB. But why would an aspiring star pitcher be a research assistant by day? And why #73? Were all the other numbers already taken? Was Sean really at a HD conference in Phoenix...or was it a tryout with the Arizona Diamondbacks?

p.s. I B @ Lunch 2 DAY!

First result for Google image search on "lunch"

Be there

Bohle Tarts

Unfortunately I have to purchase my tarts this afternoon, I forgot to save money and bring my own. So I'll be at lunch at about 12:05 or so.

Come 2 Lunch You Slime, You Greaseballs

Hey, so there's a new GI Joe movie coming out this summer and I only have one question: does former WWF superstar Sgt Slaughter (featured below) have a cameo in it? If so, I will be there for the premiere. If not I will wait for Netflix.

In other news, how does a cobra clutch sandwich sound for lunch today?

Mike Tyson's Lunch-Out!

The other day a friend referred me to the following trailer for The Hangover, a film that opens tomorrow. The trailer features an unexpected and quite hilarious cameo / air drum solo (about 45 sec in) that I think Mo' Complaints will appreciate:



After my friend told me about this, I started to tell her the back story to the classic Phil Collins track, "In The Air Tonight". Perhaps you've heard this story -- it's referenced in that song "Stan" by Eminem -- about how Phil Collins witnessed a drowning & how there was this other guy on the scene who could have saved the person drowning but didn't & how Mr Collins then wrote a song about the event, invited the other guy to a concert to sit in the front row, put a spotlight on him, and stared directly into his eyes whilst singing:

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
Ive seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
Its all been a pack of lies

In the middle of recounting this story -- which I first heard about 10 years ago -- I suddenly got this strange feeling that I'd been "urban legended", i.e., that this story I heard 10 years ago was actually just a "pack of lies." A quick visit to Wikipedia settled the matter: sure enough, this story is an urban legend.

In other words, for 10 years now I've been living a lie. This realization is crushing. What other firmly-believed Phil Collins-related factoids of mine are untrue? Was he really in a band called Genesis? Is he really related to Danny DeVito? Anyway, please come to lunch today to console me and otherwise convince me that there is still some truth in this world...

Ceasar's Salad

I can't believe I waited so long to take the online sexual harassment course.

You guys let me down...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzgVPB5dpgg

Ah-ha! Here is the movie that scares the absolute crap out of me...you all let me down!!! You should have know it was this!!!! I'm goign to make Phil and Clake fart on you!!!!

It's Monday

And I'll be at lunch today. Be there or be square, bitches!

Zoo Nachos

A special Saturday edition of No Complaints lunch was held today at the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines - with Philthy appearing as an extra-special guest. The zoo concession stand's offerings include "mac & cheese bites", which are triangular lumps of macaroni and cheese, battered and deep-fried. It's horrifying to think that something as anutritional as this appears on the kids menu, but nonetheless Philthy and Clake agreed that there should be a lobbying campaign to try to convince at least one Iowa City bar to serve this fried treat. The fried, cheesy goodness of this snack was in fact so great that it gave Clake and Philthy the power to fart simultaneously in the prairie dog enclosure, causing three children to collapse - overcome by the gas - blocking the only exit.

A Tale of 2 Lunches

Michael's only attended 1 lunch so far this week (with 1 hairstyle) and today he plans to attend his 2nd lunch this week (with a new hairstyle). Be sure to compliment him on his new beard.

Governated!

Pictured above is a Photoshop creation titled "Devolution of Man" that I'd like to share in honor of my recent return (to reality) from sunny Sacramento, CA (home of the Governator). I know I didn't tell you that I was going there, and I'm sorry for that -- as I know how much you all worry when I don't show up to lunch or comment on the blog for 5 days in a row. Anyway, I'll be at lunch today.

Lunch today at Noon or else ...

Because I can!

I'm not sure how to explain this, but at least it fits some sort of pattern...

Lunch 2day?

I'll be there if it's going down. I'll try not to infect anyone with my Swine Flu. Oink oink!

I'll be at lunch today

You little wankers.

Come to Lunch You Little Wankers!

[WARNING: includes "F" word, "P" word, and "W" word]
