Ravings of a Textual Deviant

When I gave a presentation yesterday, I forgot to set my print properties to full color, so the handouts ended up looking a little bland. I went ahead and sent an electronic version, rather than kill another tree, with the following comment:

“Here’s the eight-by-ten-colour-glossy-photographs-with-circles-and-arrows-and-a-paragraph-on-the-back-of-each-one (extra points for anyone who doesn’t remember 1967 but knows where the reference comes from) version of the PowerPoint from yesterday’s meeting.”

WIth my crew being the way they are, I was entirely unsurprised 1) that they actually got the reference, and 2) with the responses I got. Not even “I myself don’t remember 1967, but I think my parents Moonpuppy and Starmonkey do. Do I still get the points?”
