  • I just happen to have a 300-baud Acoustic Coupler under my desk that's still attached to my Atari 800. You can have it for a song.......and a lapdance. -Biosynthetic
  • If that's the case, how did they manage to send an email? and vt, you're getting the bill for my carpet cleaning, I just spit dr. pepper, and having play the flute for many years, I tend to spit straight down, rather than straight out. -AdmiralLaurie
  • The sad part is this is a regular occurrence with his customer base. -RiffRaff
  • AL...was the the regular flute, or the skin one? *BFEG* -lineswine
  • And don't forget to put on your tinfoil hat,and be sure to inhale very slowly, taking in a full breath of gas. -THETECHFROMHELL
  • 2409. Subject: You expect IT to act too?
    This is an email the Helpdesk received over the weekend. " I am a teacher at <name removed> Elementary School in the <local> City School District.  In the past some of your students have come and performed a play for our school.  Are you still offering these performances?  If so, how much do you charge & when would your group be available for a performance?"

  • Go put on a Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie skit. Any one. -Ramblin
  • Yes. You have the option of the following plays: "Death of a Starfish", "Romeo, Juliet, and Starfish", or "Dr. Starfishlove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Stupid, Braindead, Idiot End Lusers". -LordObsidian
  • Give'em credit for offering some type of payment for your time, no? -CTYankee
  • Log into, and configure, an old PC as a firewall, on an LCD projection display. Call it "modern art, illustrating our age of technology". Bonus points to have a speakerphone "help line" where you have a confederate call in with a stupid issue. Then have them help deliver a LART to the caller- make it "audience participation". Hmmmmm, that prompts some ideas for a stage show... where's AUA when you need him? -Voz
  • This year, we'll be pantomiming the best questions from Yahoo Answers. NSFW. -Biosynthetic
  • You can set "Tech Support, the Musical" with music by Wagner: "Kill the starfish, kill the starfish, kill the starfish..." -TheGhost
  • Or put an ever-popular TSC call on a continuous loop..."GIVE ME A NEW..." *runs* -lineswine
  • 2408. Subject: This is actually an autoresponse
    "FYI, I'm Yahoo-free these days. Please email me at my Gmail address." Pray tell, oh unusurpable GrandMaster of Suspense, what would be your Gmail address, ya twit?

  • I've changed my email to ditch a bunch of loser friends. If you don't know my new email, you're one of them! -Divinar
  • nicknamezipcode@yahoo.com --> nicknamezipcode@gmail.com. -concept14
  • Concept14, you are starting to understand the fishies. You should go into tech support. ;-) -TheGhost
  • <standsup> Hi, I'm Bob. (Hi, Bob.) And I've been Yahoo-free for 3 months (applause). </standsup> -Biosynthetic
  • 2407. Subject: 'Out of Office'
    When you send a report to a client, who is expected to pay on reciept, recieving an Out Of Office response of "This email is no longer active or monitored" is not a good thing. Hopefully someone else in the project team will pay up. Green shoots of recovery my ass.

  • If it were my boss she'd reply with "Project denied, task redundant. You do this everytime your phone rings anyways." -LazyLemming
  • Ah well then, we have a research grant for you, please line up behind the rest of these companys for govment $$$ -Harm
  • Yeah, the project would be denied- they'd say that due to cost issues, they need to look at a more efficient way of completing the task, so you are now to answer a call by picking up a phone handset, and smacking yourself in the head with the handset three times, before you say your greeting... -Voz
  • Expaning on Voz's suggestion, each time I smack myself, I can say loudly: "I'm a pretty flower, I'm a pretty flower." -BarmanVarn
  • Slight modifaction: must chant in Latin and carry a bit of wall with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgYEuJ5u1K0 -Biosynthetic
  • "Modifaction"? Awesome, my possessed fingers strike again... -Biosynthetic
  • @Bio: Great minds think alike. I know what the link was before I even clicked it. -BarmanVarn
  • Domaneitis Requiem! ( i'm sure thats qwrong) *SMACK* -Harm
  • Actually it's Pie Iesu domine, donna eis requiem. Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest. In my opinion, they should have made it Pie Iesu domine, donna nobis pacem. -McSmiley
  • Response: Project Denied. Reason: May damage wall. Resolution For Resubmitting: Change Wall to Desk. Have a nice day. -LordObsidian
  • 2405. Subject: Best SPAM email address EVER

  • Pierced! -AmazingKreskin
  • Mines deviated! -Holdfast
  • The note was actually handwritten not email to me, so it probably meant to say system, but not in any handwriting style I'm aware of. -redfaery
  • Could have been worse. It could have said "The following are changes that need to be made in the septic." -MisterCommon
  • What were the changes? Something like moving the septum to the atrium, redecorating the pilorum and crossing the capsicum with the sternum? Romani lunaticus sum! -TheGhost
  • If it was from Burrkiss, it'd say Scrotum, so count your blessings. -exzyle2k
  • Nope, doing the 'sycophant' operation: connecting the septum to the anus! -CTYankee
  • I had changes done to my septum and my allergy symptoms are much better as a result. -thx1138
  • Maybe he had an accent? (Yeah I know it was written down, but Really, I'm stretching here...) -lineswine
  • 2402. Subject: Engrish 101
    This morning I had received a ticket from our level 1 support with the following message: "when custoeme delete an email its email do not desappear from the inbox and if customer go ahead to delete the email it shows up an error message"

    As a little backstory for this specific user. She had recently transferred to our site and her mail file got moved to another server. They don't us local site support folks to touch these kind of mail files because the powers-that-be think we can't handle it and will royally screw something up. So someone who makes 10x my salary did the move...and royally screwed up her mail file. Now I have to do his job, figure out what's wrong, tell him how to fix it, while documenting what I'm doing so he can't take credit for my work. Le sigh.
