So, the sophisticates on my desk are up to their usual tricks. Today's antics included the following:

There's one guy (call him Ralph) who is a bit homophobic. [Unrelated editorial commentary: I think he tries not to be, but so far, with limited success.] Earlier this week, there was discussion about a male vocal performer, and I inquired as to whether anyone was a fan of this guy (who is -- as far as I know -- NotGay). Ralph chimes in with, "I think Jim likes him -- in a Brokeback Mountain kind of way...". Hilarity ensues with various insinuations using the code phrase "Brokeback Mountain".

So, just now, some of the younger jokers decide to send Ralph an e-mail inserting an image from Google, which (and I wish I were high-tech enough to know how to do this) automatically became the screensaver picture upon Ralph's opening the e-mail.

The image (which comes up on huge computer screens -- 3 across) was this lovely shot. (N[exactly]SFW)

I'm going to miss this place when I get shitcanned.

I question whether the Brokeback Mountain jokes = "hilarity". But I will definitely be wanting the code for the automatic screensaver. (That picture is perfect too. So frolicky!)
