CCP Zinfandel: SILENCE!
(30 minutes of awkward silence)
CCP Zinfandel: CONTINUE! CCP Zulu: Alllrighty then. So we also finshed the code for NeX and we where wondering what exactly you wanted to sell... CCP Zinfandel: PANTS! CCP Zulu: Cool, so do you have any pants in mind? The art devs could think of a few different... CCP Zinfandel: 1000 DOLLAR PANTS! CCP Zulu: What...wait wuh? What kind of pants would those be? Would they be like... CCP Zinfandel: JAPANESE BOUTIQUE PANTS! CCP Zulu: uh...how do we make them look like Japanese bouti... CCP Zinfandel: Put some Hello Kitty stuff on them. I think those are really cute n' fun. CCP Zulu: But don't we need to buy the rights to use Hello Ki... CCP Zinfandel: SILENCE!
(another 30 mins of awkward silence)
CCP Zinfandel: CONTINUE! CCP Zulu: Alright...so $1000 Japanese boutique 'Hello Kitty' pants. Got it. We'd also like to maybe do some different tops and stuff but wanted to know how much time we ha... CCP Zinfandel: 5 MINUTES! CCP Zulu: 5 minutes?!? You want this done in 5 minutes? CCP Zinfandel: 4 MINUTES! CCP Zulu: ****...
(4 minutes later)
(CCP Zulu returns to Conference Room 3, out of breathe)
CCP Zulu: Ok...ok. We got the pants, we got the shirts...it was just thrown together with clipart from Sixteen Magazine, but this **** all looks like total crap. I think most of it came from Justin Bieber articles. Anyways, so real shirts sell for about $19 dollars so this stuff will sell for like $1-2 or.... CCP Zinfandel: 20 DOLLARS!
(Zulu stares blankly at Zinfandel. Yet another awkward silence)
CCP Zulu: Is there anything else you want? CCP Zinfandel: MONOCLES! CCP Zulu: Like "The Penguin" or "General von Klinkerhoffen" style monocles CCP Zinfandel: ****ING SPACE MONOCLES! CCP Zulu: O...k...space monocles. What should they do? Improve perception or... CCP Zinfandel: NOTHING! CCP Zulu: Ok, good, purely cosmetic. I like that idea better. It's fair to the players. So we'll sell these for what, 1-2 dolla... CCP Zinfandel: SEVENTY DOLLARS! CCP Zulu: Did you say $17 dollars? Isn't that a bit too much for a... CCP Zinfandel: $70 DOLLARS (holds large sign with a '7' and '0' on it and a winky emoticon) (Zulu's jaw dislocates and drops. He quickly grabs it off the floor) CCP Zulu: Wow...uh...wow. For $70 dollars that's gotta be one ****ing cool monocle. I can get the art department to come up with one of those in about a wee... CCP Zinfandel: 5 MINUTES! CCP Zulu: Huh?!? CCP Zinfandel: 4 MINUTES!
(interns face melts and then assplodes)
Funny thing is.... this is exactly what I was thinking. You have saved me from having to come up with a funny reference to monocles or $1000 pants.
BTW, we still want top/stove-pipe hats.
