I love inside jokes. I'd love to be a part of one someday.

from the email archives: Father of the bride and a baby?! Get out of town!!!!

every once in a while I'll post some email references made in the past if I don't have any current material.
luckily my work inbox has like 10,000 archived messages.
...maybe I should clean it up?

Dear [Staff],

[A paragraph concerning work things]

[A paragraph concerning personal things... because that's just how I roll with my coworkers.  In this morning email I was particularly cheesy]

CHEESE OVER.

Let the rest of the work day commence!

"COMMENCE TO START!"

This one was a tough reference because it's a quote made by a tertiary character in the movie Father of the Bride Part 2.  And I don't really expect people to have watched it a million times like I have (hello! mid-90s classic!).  Mr. Habeeb isn't in the movie that long, but he's SO GOOD when he is.  This wasn't a completely failed reference as one coworker got it.  But only one.  Bonus points because she replied back with a story of how she almost got to meet Steve Martin.  

Soooooo... partially landed reference! :)

George: "You didn't tell me you were going to destroy it!"
Mr. Habeeb:  "You didn't ask."
