Question: It is legal to slap a co-worker who is insisting on listening
to a baseball game while I'm trying to listen to the Walker soundtrack, isn't it?

5. Do you have a trout handy?
Or are you against the use of trouts as a weapon?

14. Take your pick
I have no problems with it as long as you use the "slap and release" method (that sounds like the beginnings of a sex thread).

23. Hey! It's really, really good and hardly "clash" material!
Right now, I'm listening to a samba. Earlier it was a bit of country/rock-a-billy.

10. No. In fact, if it's the Phils, you should slap yourself
Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 02:26 PM by Patiod
Hello - wildcard race!!!!!

Edit: they're ahead 4-0 in the 9th, so he can probably turn it down a bit now.

34. Do not knock "Walker, Texas Ranger"
That show is often comedic gold, as demonstrated here: http://gorillamask.net/conanwalker.shtml (some potentially NSFW ads)

21. Not if it's a game that will get someone into the playoffs
I would have to fight back if you were to try and prevent me from watching/listening to an important game.

22. I think you should request that they use headphones
We have people at work, including myself who will listen to music and they can provided that they use headsets and they not play the music so loud that they can't hear if someone else is trying to get their attention

24. I admit that it's difficult to use headphones. No sooner do you put them
on then you have to get up from your desk. :(

I had them on.

27.  Nonsense - everyone in the office needs to hear PHILS WIN
But knowing their long history of choaking in September, I'm saving my little Snoopy dance for the 29th, when regular season play is over.

26. We have to abide by World Wrestling Federation rules
If it's a closed fist, it's illegal. If it's an open palm, you're in like Flynn.

38. I do believe that's covered under the "justifiable slapping" laws
in most states....

41. As a baseball fan, I have to say: Depends on who's playing
If it's anyone vs. the Yankees or anyone vs. the Red Sox, then you definately have my permission!

If it's a rather boring national league game, then yes.

If it's a rather interesting national league or American league game, then no!

45. Shaddup! That's been covered already! NO!
It was a soundtrack written by Joe Strummer (who was completely robbed of an Oscar nomination, I might add)
