Ghost town

I honestly don't think there's anyone else here today, but Hans and I will be at lunch today. If nothing else, maybe this post will prompt Phil to say something crude.

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

I ran in that track meet!

Many many years ago. So that means I won't be there today and instead will go to lunch.

Monday, May 17, 2010

No lunch for me

Hey guys, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to post earlier. I was shooting an elementary school track meet this morning, and I am doing the same thing tomorrow as well. So I won't be in to lunch until Wednesday at the earliest. I'll keep you posted!

The Brumms?

Mary took Michael's name? Cool! There's now a Mrs. Brumpelstiltskin!

I'll be at lunch.

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Blaaagggggg!!!

If Michael's reading this on his honeymoon, and I can only assume if he has internet access in whatever remote corner of Saskatchewan he took Mary to, he is doing so, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I'll be at lunch today.

Lamesauce

I'm out for lunch today. It's raining and I'm afraid of the dripping water in the tunnels.

Thursday, April 22, 2010

Who's ready for some kunch?

That's right! I said kunch instead of lunch! Why? Because I'm the wild card bitches!

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

In response to Phil's post

Gross, just...gross. But a little funny.

I'll be at "bee" at lunch today like the bees in that photo. HAHAHA!!!

How to tell if your butt smells too bad


This picture was presented to me today. I wanted to share it with an appropriate audience and unfortunately I don't have any friends in junior high so this was the next best place...

It's All Downhill From Here

The term "Zenith of Western Civilization" is bandied about willy nilly a bit too frequently for my liking, but seriously, is there any other way to describe the following video?

Monday, April 19, 2010

It's Monday

So let's all have some lunch! I'll be at MERB.

Friday, April 16, 2010

I'll be at lunch!

Other friend turned me down again :(

Monday, April 12, 2010

Wow this blog is dead!

It's less posted to than my own blog, Blogporter! But I'll be at lunch today.

Thursday, April 01, 2010

I will be at lunch

If you don't see me in the dining area, check the outside area, though I doubt there will be a table.

Eating In The Street

Every once in a while, a video comes along that changes your life.  This is probably not one of those video...but it might be.  On a related note, I will probably be at lunch today...but I might not.

No lunch for me again today. And I'm on vacay for the rest of the week. See y'all next week!

No lunch for me

Maybe tomorrow?

The Dropkick Moritas

Collision Course starring Jay Leno and Pat Morita is one of those rare cases in which sitting through an entire 1980s buddy cop film was completely justified by the merits of one glorious scene. But now, thanks to YouTube, you no longer have to sit through the entire film in order to see this scene.  I will be at lunch.

Tuesday, March 02, 2010

Game Time

It's almost noon time, and Mo' Complaints has a chance to slam this lunch home.  Can we do it?  Or will we do this instead:

Sorry guys, I can't make it to lunch today. I'm running some errands for the lab and I won't be in 'till about 1:00 or so. Have fun!

Was Bill *actually* visiting his parents...

I heart lunch!

Get sprung already!

This endless, oppressive winter is really getting me down, so I thought I'd share a nice photo to remind everyone of spring.

I'll be at lunch. Chicken sounds really good to me, for some reason.

Wait For It

I won't be able to make lunch today as I'll be attending a Grammys victory party with Stephen Colbert and the rest of his writing team. Don't believe me? Check out the video. Wait for it. (The 1:43 mark)!

Monday, February 01, 2010

Hey Everybody, I'm back today

And I'm interested in getting some lunch. I'm heading over to EMRB at Noon, hope to see you there!

Don't forget lunch like Chris Matthews forgot about something last night!

Lunch is too easy for me


If Michael is the Vikings, fumbling away his lunch attendance, I guess that makes me Peyton Manning, AKA QuarterbackTron3000. Able to withstand any challenge, including being attacked by two bears on a sandbar. Touchdown! I'll be at lunch.

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Fumble!

Yet again, I'll be missing lunch today (work + this week = busy!). Sorry I keep dropping the ball with attendance. I'll try to hold on to it tighter tomorrow.

"I'm retiring from lunch...

No wait, I changed my mind. I'll be there today. Only if I don't have to show up for lunch training camp..."

Lunch lunch baby

I survived on the ice yesterday WALKING home without falling! Simply amazing. Lunch?

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Ice Ice Baby


Anybody else make it in to work today (without looking like this?)? If so, lunch?

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

Tuesday lunch? (Tunch?)

I will be there. That's reason enough to attend.

Friday, January 15, 2010

Lunch?

I ate lunch alone yesterday. My sandwhich didn't taste quite as good, because of all the salt from my tears.

Anyone in today?

Big debut

Sarah Palin made her debut on Fox News last night. At least half of her comments were in complete sentences, and she even made up a word (not included in the article below, but reported on my radio show last night)

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/sarah-palin-makes-fox-news-debut-slams-obama/story?id=9548272&page=1

I'll be at lunch.

Even Fairer and Balanced-er

Sarah Palin is joining Fox News! Let's celebrate at lunch. Here's a sneak peak of her reporting prowess:

Monday, January 11, 2010

Bill who?

Screw Bill, we don't need him to have lunch.

Oh wait, can he check this from Vietnam?...meh, oh well.

I'll be there.

Friday, January 08, 2010

Friday lunch?


Anybody in for lunch today? I thought about taking the day off to practice my snowboarding skillz, but I came to work instead.

Thursday, January 07, 2010

S'No Show

Alas, I will not be at lunch today, but I should be back tomorrow.

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

Hawks win!


Orange Bowl Champions! If you love America as much as Ricky Stanzi, you'll be at lunch today. Plus, Hans is going to give his post-game breakdown of how Iowa was successful at shutting down Ga. Tech's triple option by taking out the pitch man and containing the QB by both DEs shedding blocks and forcing containment.

Tuesday, January 05, 2010

Go Hawks!


Come to lunch today, where Hans is going to break down the Iowa-Georgia Tech matchup. I hear he's been watching game film for days so he can give us his prediction.

Monday, January 04, 2010

First lunch of 2010?

Let's start this year off right! And that's "twenty ten" not "two-thousand-and-ten." For more information:

I'm here today, though it seems many are not. Anyone up for some lunch?

Wednesday, December 23, 2009

If anyone is interested, I'm here and no parties today that I know of.

Tuesday Lunch

I can potentially make it today if anyone else is around?!

Back in the old EMRB? Seems like it's been forever. I'll be there if it's goin' down.

Thursday Lunch: Holiday Edition First Blood Part II

Just a quick update on today's Holiday Lunch. Bill and I are planning to meet a the Fountain Dining Room at 11:20ish to partake in the festivities. Please join us if you'd like!

Tuesday, December 15, 2009

Thursday Lunch: Holiday Edition

Hey everybody, we should take up the UI on the offer of free lunch Thursday, Dec. 17. Here are the details from Rita Beers:

Instead of the Jingle and Mingle receptions planned for Friday, all UI Health Care employees and volunteers are invited to enjoy a special holiday meal, compliments of UI Health Care. We want to express our appreciation to all of you who have worked selflessly and diligently throughout this year to serve patients and families and to advance our missions of education, research, and patient care. This small gesture is also an opportunity to acknowledge all the meaningful religious and cultural celebrations of the season and to look forward with hope to the new year that will soon be here.

To receive the complimentary meal you will need to show your ID badge and provide a ticket to the cashier. Departmental representatives will provide the tickets. The menu for the holiday meal is turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, mandarin orange gelatin salad, dinner roll, pie, and beverages, and will be served at the following times and locations:

December 17: 10:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Fountain Dining Room, Melrose Dining Room, and Compass Café

Rita says that she's got tickets, and Liz is also taking names for whoever wants one.

Are You Not Hungry Yet?

Perhaps this will get you in the mood for some lunch:

Monday, December 14, 2009

It's a brand new week

With 4 big lunches coming! Let's do this.

Thursday, December 10, 2009

Lunchzilla!

I'm in the office today, and getting geared up for some lunch! I have a crazy idea, though. Would you guys be up for eating in the Fountain Dining Room today? Would that be cool? I'll be buying lunch from there today, and thought it might be cool to dine there for a change. Just let me know!

Otherwise, here is a completely unrelated video:

Wednesday, December 09, 2009

Who's in for lunch today?

HAHAHA! Just kidding, none of you are actually HERE today, are you? Lunch by myself with the DI is my plan.

Tuesday, December 08, 2009

Is anybody here?

Blizzard of the century is cancelling everything else. Lunch too?

Friday, December 04, 2009

Thursday, December 03, 2009

I'll be at lunch both today and tomorrow

I'll be at lunch both today and tomorrow !

Lunch today?

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

Tuesday

Hey everybody, I'm not sure if I'll be at lunch today because we have some folks coming in from out of town to meet in the lab. So I may or may not be around, I'm not 100% sure.

Monday, November 30, 2009

What? Me, a Napoleon Complex? I don't Sphinx so!

Today's blog title is probably best classified under the label "inside joke." If you're on the outside, come to EMRB to get in on it...

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

The few, the proud...

The lunch attendees today. I will be there.

Monday, November 23, 2009

Thanksgiving!

Hey everybody, I'm leaving tomorrow (Tuesday) to meet my niece Flicka for the first time. Then I'm on to Thanksgiving from there, so this is my only day at lunch today. Hope to see you all there!

Friday, November 20, 2009

Unsure

I'm not sure if I'll be at lunch today. We have some moving project that may or may not come in right around that time, but I'm guessing I'll be able to get away.

I know that's not a very maverick way of declaring my lunch status, but it is kind of rogue, no?

Thursday, November 19, 2009

Going Rogue!

Back during my days as a sandwich maker in the McCain campaign, Steve Schmidt and the Senator's other top advisers repeatedly told me to stay "on message" (e.g., tenderloins in IA, Philly cheese-steaks in PA, etc), but like I always say: "You can put lipstick on a pit-bull, but eventually he's gonna bite back, you betcha!"

Sure enough, one day after clipping some coupons, I decided to buy some turkey, provolone, alfalfa sprouts, onion, avocado and horseradish and slap em all atop 2 slices of bread, which is a non-business-as-usual creation I like to call the "Maverick Sandwich". Well wouldn't you know, the McCain campaign just flipped & accused me of "going rogue." And of course the Liberal Media jumped in, too, calling the Maverick Sandwich an "unthinkably disgusting combination of ingredients."

Well, as anyone who reads "all of them" newspapers like me can tell you, the McCain campaign ended up losing to the campaign to that commie-loving, grandmother-killing immigrant, Barack Osama. But things will be different in 2012, you hear, and that's why I've launched my new book: Going Rogue: an American Cookbook, featuring recipes for meals like the Maverick Sandwich with Freedom Fries and other liberty-loving dishes.

For a sneak peak of the Maverick Sandwich, come to EMRB today!

I found this on the internet...


I feel I have to post it somewhere, and this is the only place that makes sense.

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Hey guys i'm in for lunch today

Let's do it!

Heater


I will be at lunch today to escape the loud clicking and banging noises created by our heater in my office. It sounds like a shipping yard in here. I actually kind of like it though.

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Monday, November 16, 2009

No cat video today

But if you ask really nicely, I might act one out today at lunch.

Friday, November 13, 2009

To continue the theme, more hilarious cat video



Not sure how I feel about the ones with cats falling off of stuff, but cats always land on their feet, so it's okay to laugh, right?

I'll be at lunch, though may be a little late.

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Kitten Mittens



This is from one of my favorite shows, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Sadly, many people seem to have been inspired to put similar mittens on their own cats and post videos, which is probably animal abuse (but funny abuse).

Is Your Cat 2 Pro-Lit 2 Kwit?

I know this video will be of interest to Hans, and maybe to Sean as well (if he's followed through on my advice that he rescue a kitten in order to impress the ladies!):



Now then, if you still have an appetite, please join me today for lunch!

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

Wednesday lunch

I will be there. Can we rival yesterday's excellent attendance?

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

And I Thought I Took the News Badly...

You guys have perhaps seen alternate versions of this recent YouTube craze -- in which the subtitles to a scene from the film Downfall are altered to parody various current events. This particular version is, of course, my favorite:



I'm currently having an acid trip to (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, so I may be a bit late to lunch, but I will be there!

Monday, November 09, 2009

Monday lunch

No more days off for me. I'll be at lunch.

Thursday, November 05, 2009

Thursday lunch

Sorry for the unannounced absence yesterday y'all. But I will be at EMRB today. Will you?

Tuesday, November 03, 2009

Terminator Rap



Ok, so this video is pretty much for Bill, but my invitation to lunch is for everyone.

Monday, November 02, 2009

Follow-up

For those of you in attendance Friday, I made the bold and unsubstantiated claim that a hoosier was a dog of some sort. And you all seemed to believe me. I couldn't have been more wrong. It's actually just the term for a person from Indiana. It has some interesting etymology, but it's definitely not in reference to any dog. Sorry!

I'll be at lunch though, spewing more inaccurate facts.
