IMAO World Headquarters, 5:00 p.m. (EST)
Frank J: OK, it’s well past 8:00 a.m. — sorry to keep you waiting. Who brought my Mountain Dew and Diablo sandwich?
Oppo: That’s Basil’s job.
Spacemonkey: Where is Basil?
Keln: He hasn’t been showing up for meetings. Can the rest of us skip this?
Mr. Right: Yep.
Basil {via videoconferencing:}: Wait. What? I’ve been posting.
Walrus: {via text message:} Can I have his office?
Keln: You didn’t see his blog posting? There was an incident.
Frank J.: I’m in charge.
Oppo: Gadzooks!
Spacemonkey: I’m going to see if he’s OK!
Mr. Right: I’m going too!
Keln: Yep. I’m gonna cut out of this meeting, but not necessarily to see Basil.
Basil: Really, guys — I’m not exactly Joe Biden yet.
Walrus: So, is the meeting over? Working from home, you know. Hello? Hello? . . .
Frank J.: Well, sit back for my previously recorded six-hour TedTalk. Who are you, again?
It’s like looking into a magic factory.
I just want to know one damn thing.
Where the Hell’s my name plate?!
Maybe the janitor took it.
Custodial Specialist.
My bad.
Just to be clear, is Basil now Knot Basil, not Basil? I need to know for an insensitive friend…
I see you read the link. Ouch!
Yeah, knot funny.
Whoopsie!
Knot Basil, wasn’t he an old west gunfighter famous for his involvement in the gunfight at the OK Corral….or was that Doc Basil?
