Last week I saw a doc on Nunavut and thought of you. It is called "Never Lose Sight" this is the discription:
This short documentary presents the environmental challenges in Nunavut. Beneath the immaculate layer of snow, there are mountains of trash. Iqaluit's two dumps are filled beyond capacity and the municipality has no plan to solve the problem.
In short - they don't have a way to transport their trash out so it just sits there in the snow. Some of the people in the doc built an entire house from scavanged trash found at the dump. Sadly, not one person interviewed was wearing pink camo.

Quoth Gravekeeper View PostYes, much as the previous item only comes in Plum, that item only comes in Black. You may rest assured that the headgear you seek will be totally absent of all colour. Though I am beginning to question exactly what sort of outfit you’re putting together here and why.
Though now that I think about it, black might be both good and bad in the Frozen Northlands. Good because it makes it easier for their friends to spot them against all the white. Bad because it makes it easier for wolves and other such beasties to spot them. Well, bad for them. Not necessarily bad for you, GK, as that would winnow out some of your more annoying callers.
So really, you should be encouraging this new fashion trend up north, don't ya think?
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostThis calls for egg nog.
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostExpired egg nog.
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostMe: “And your postal code please?”
SC: “Oh, I don’t have that.
And how dumb am *I* for even asking that question in relation to one of GK's callers?
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostPlease Don't Kill Me
I cannot speak its name, obviously, and will say only that...dialing....was involved.
Please don't kill me, I didn't know at the time. >.>
It would be akin to me saying that a guy I used to work with now does stuff for this show that involves detecting.* Yeah, yeah, I know you can't mention the show in question, work confidentiality and all that....I just don't understand why you even brought this up, or what was so unusual that you found in your company's database.

Quoth Jester View PostHey, some people just like black. You don't have to be an emo, a goth, a headbanger, a ninja, or an inbred citizen of the Frozen Northlands to like that color. I myself own much black apparel.

Welcome back, GK! This was a nice surprise!
But I wonder: who was it that had to take over your shift when you were gone, and did they experience as much horror as you do on a nightly basis?"If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you."

Quoth JesterI love egg nog. With or without rum (though of course it's always better with rum), I love the stuff. One of my favorite ingestibles this time of year. Have a carton of it in my fridge. No, really. I LOVE egg nog!
Quoth JesterThis is all very cryptic, and for once I have no idea whatsoever what you are talking about.
So much stuff is filmed around here. I believe I've mentioned before that I use to have to wade through SG-1's set on my way to work. Constantly. If not for them I'd have gotten to work 5 minutes earlier every night. -.-
Which reminds me, some day I'll have to tell you all about my salad days at my last company when I was but a young whelp. It doesn't exist anymore so its fair game. ;p

Welcome back, GK! We are all most grateful to you for sharing your tales of horror with us.
Here, have some Everclear. It'll wipe those foul memories right out...along with some of your early childhood, I'm sure, if you have enough. Better yet, it makes for a dandy paint thinner replacement!

Quoth Gravekeeper View PostAll dreams must come to an end. >.>
I mean, good for us to have you back, but sorry for you.
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostSC: “I want it in black.”
...
SC: “I want that black one.”
...
SC: “And a black one.”
Me: “Alright, anything else?”
SC: “Is it black?”Quoth Gravekeeper View PostMe: “It comes to $115 total with shipping and tax.”
SC: “And if it gets here, how much would I pay?”Quoth Gravekeeper View PostSC: “Unless it’s a major gateway for heroin and cocaine and that’s what’s really going on.”Quoth Gravekeeper View PostMe: “And your name please?”
SC: “One item only.”
…..a most peculiar name you have there, One Item Only. Though it doesn’t quite have the same majesty as Dances With Wolves or the boldness of Sitting Bull. But go with your strengths, I guess.Quoth Gravekeeper View PostSC: “Hi, yeah.
