out_thereCasey was too busy to track down Dan, so he decided to leave a note instead.

Dear Danny,
The basketball scores are on the table. You'll need to cut 45 seconds out of the twenties.
I need to go do the voiceover for the highlights.
Yours,
Casey
***
Dear Casey,
Thank you for the formal notification!
Since you're nowhere to be found...
I cut thirty seconds out of the twenties, and Natalie says you have to cut another forty from the thirties.
Oh, you haven't seen my wallet anywhere, have you? I was sure I left it in my coat, but it's gone now.
Dan
***
Danny,
Your wallet was on the couch, last time I saw it.
There's no way I can cut forty out. Tell Natalie she's got to be dreaming.
Casey

Anybody around and want to play? (Just leave a reply in the comments...)

Date: 2004-05-19 09:23 pm (UTC)Natalie says Dana says if you can't cut out forty, she can do it for you.
I say stay far away from the scowling women with editing equipment.
Where on the couch?
Dan
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 09:28 pm (UTC)Down the back. The place it always lands when it falls out of your back pocket.
You may have a point about women and editing. I checked with Dana.
Needless to say, I'm cutting it.
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 09:37 pm (UTC)The wallet was where you said it would be, minus the twenty that was in there this morning. Hm...
Jeremy wants to talk to me later about rhythmic gymnastics. Says it's your idea. Care to explain?
Dan
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 09:41 pm (UTC)Um... I'll give you back the twenty later. Promise. Let's just say that Natalie offered me odds that I couldn't refuse.
We were talking about doing a series of features of lesser-known sports. Go through a quick overview of the sports, the rules, the history, the athletes.
Rythmic gymnastics seemed like a good place to start.
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 09:44 pm (UTC)Odds on what, precisely?
Rhythmic gymnastics should never be the place to start. Particularly with Jeremy.
I need more coffee.
Danny
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 09:50 pm (UTC)Well, there's currently a milk surplus. Go help yourself to a cappacino-flavoured latte.
You don't want to know what the bet was on. Trust me.
And... sometimes it's a wonder I put up with you and your lack of respect from rythmic gymnastics.
Anyway, Jeremy said he'd left some notes for you. Regardless of your bias against a perfectly respectable sport, what do you think of the idea? Is it workable?
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 09:56 pm (UTC)I don't want a latte. I want a man's coffee. Hot and strong enough to stand on its own.
Ignore the cappuchino I had yesterday, all right?
Now you have to tell me what the bet was for.
How can I have respect for
rythmrhtyhmrhythmic gymnastics? Sports should be spellable.It's a good idea. I like it as a feature. Damn, Jeremy's writing is getting better by the day.
Dan
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 10:12 pm (UTC)He's doin' good. You should mention it to him.
"Spellable", Danny? I don't know whether to mock your spelling, vocabulary or grammar. Let's just leave it at me mocking you in general.
So, I'll ignore the cappucino and believe that you got yourself an espresso instead. (Even though we both know that milk and sugar are more vital to you than caffeine.)
The bet...
You know how you always lose your wallet? And always end up asking Kim where it is? Natalie was offering odds on how long it would take you to ask.
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 10:18 pm (UTC)I did. He was so flustered, he ran into a door. We need to compliment that boy more often, my friend.
Hey, I'm a verbal communicator. Imagine me saying it to you. It makes perfect sense.
Don't mock my manly coffee.
You bet on my wallet? I can't believe it. I want my twenty back.
(You won, at least, right?)
Dan
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 10:23 pm (UTC)Damn straight I won! You can have your $20 back with a 100% return. (I'll leave the two twenties in my top drawer.)
Verbal shmerbal. You have a lack of respect for the written language.
I shall mock your manly coffee if I wish. (Although, please be aware I was mocking you, not your coffee.)
And if Dana asks about about my eyesight, please assure that I'm not color-blind. For some reason, she seems convinced that I am.
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 10:25 pm (UTC)Thank you--wait. If I get 100% return, how much did you win?
I have a great respect for the written language. I just appreciate its flexibility more than you.
Case, I hate to tell you this, but if you're not colorblind, you dressed in the dark this morning.
Dan
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 10:34 pm (UTC)What is it with people mocking my clothes today? You, Dana, Kim. Even Eliot made a crack. My clothes are fine.
There's a fine line between flexibility and outright abuse. A very fine line.
I won... let's just say I won by a tidy margin. You are a man of routine, Danny, regardless of your "flexibility"
regardingwhen dealing with the English language.Casey
PS - Apparently your CD is at Northtown Records (What CD?). Okay, is there any logical reason for a record salesperson to say "Right on?"
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 10:47 pm (UTC)Let's think about this.
Eliotnoticed your clothes. What are the odds that they are, in fact, fine?I'm glad I could contribute to your income. You're buying the beer tonight.
And flexibility, as I should not have to remind a former non-rhythmic gymnast, is a good thing.
My CD's in? All right! It's a classic Clapton that I've been meaning to get for a while. And maybe "Right on" was what he was feeling at the time.
Danny
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 10:52 pm (UTC)What's wrong with my clothes?
I will happily buy the beer. Very happily.
You may have a point. I certainly don't object to your flexibility in... other matters.
But still. "Right on?" Is there any phrase more bound to make you think of an aging hippie? It's the automatic connection.
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 10:55 pm (UTC)The mere fact that you have to ask what is wrong with your clothes makes me want to cry.
I will not only happily drink the beer which you buy, but give you a myriad of reasons to be happy about the fact that you bought it.
And in case you hadn't noticed, there are some phrases that never die. Plus, with Starsky & Hutch in theaters recently, that whole vernacular is slowly coming back.
Danny

Date: 2004-05-19 11:04 pm (UTC)And the fact that you can't tell me what's wrong? Just reinforces my belief that the lot of you are just messing with my head.
I think the fact that I've got money in my wallet, when I previously had none, is reason enough.
Don't even talk to me about Starsky and Hutch. For someone who claims to be cool, you have no taste in cinema, my friend.
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 11:09 pm (UTC)Well, for starters your socks are argile. We'll just start with that.
And you're right, I guess I don't have any taste in cinema. Starsky & Hutch isn't cinema. It's a MOVIE. Then again, you don't like Cheech and Chong so I knew there was no hope for you anyway.
By the way, did you find a way to shave that 40? Because Dana's still looking frantic.
Dan
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 11:15 pm (UTC)Argyle? Argyle socks are classics. There is nothing wrong with Argyle.
Cheech and Chong? If it were physically possible, I'd be rolling my eyes as I write.
I cut the forties. I shaved it, I cut it, I massacred it. She's looking frantic because you promised her to have proof of the baseball rumours and so far...? No proof.
She's already approached me three times about it. If I was you, I'd figure it out fast.
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 11:22 pm (UTC)Argyle is fine, but not with jeans. And while we're on the subject of jeans, have you ever heard of 'easy wear'? Not everything needs starch.
If not Cheech and Chong, then atleast Caddyshack? Tell me, please oh please, tell me you liked Caddyshack.
And what does Dana want me to do? Offer to blow Sammy Sosa if he confirms the rumors about the trade? That will require a lot more beer than any amount of winnings you might have gotten from your little bet could buy.
Dan
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 11:28 pm (UTC)There is no... well, okay, maybe there's a little starch. It's... It's just unsightly to be wrinkled. Nothing wrong with being pressed and tidy.
...is there?
Caddyshack I will admit to liking.
You know, I won quite a bit... After all, after giving you back your money, I still have a hundred. People will do a lot for a hundred.
But I can't help thinking that offering Sammy Sosa the hundred dollars might help more.
Casey
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 11:37 pm (UTC)I'm aware I'm concentrating on the wrong thing here, but what makes you think he'd prefer the $100? I'll have you know that, were I to be so inclined, I could get atleast $100 JUST for that thing I do with my tongue that you don't seem to mind so much.
And thank GOD you like Caddyshack. Now I just need to school you on the subtle nuances of Cheech and Chong and we'll be well on our way to lightening you up, you old stiff.
And what the hell were the odds on that bet?! $140?!
Dan
no subject
Date: 2004-05-19 11:45 pm (UTC)Care to be a little more careful about what you leave written around our office? You are so lucky that Dana didn't read that before I did. So incredibly lucky.
And just for the old stiff remark, I'm letting Kim know that you were the one who was bitching about the amount of coverage paid to the women's skiing.
And, think about it Danny. Seven people, twenty bucks each, picking a time for you to ask Kim for your wallet. Easy calculation, even for you.
Casey
PS - Jeremy said you finished the highlights. I think Dana needs to see you about those.
no subject
Date: 2004-05-20 12:03 am (UTC)Remember, you're the one who cares about that, not me. So, in actuality, you're the one who's lucky, not me.
And that explains why Kim decided to implant her three inch pink stilleto heels into my shin as I was coming back in here.
And about the math? Shut up.
