Thread: The B.O.F.H.

OK, time for my simi-anual thread.

Got board (was supposed to be doing my HW, but you know how it goes) this morning, and started to read a little of the Bastard Operator From Hell saga for the 2000th time (give or take).

It occured to me, I wonder how many of our ST readers are familiar with this gem of truth... I mean, comedy? *cough* Anyway, its not the hardest thing to find on the internet, as enough people keep copies that you run across it quite often if you poke around the right places. However, I figgured I'd check and see what you all thought of it. Certianly a classic.

A small taste...

I hear the phone drop and the sound of running feet - he's obviously going to try and get an alibi by being at the Dean's office. I look up his username and find his department. I ring the Dean's secretary.
"Hello?" she answers
"Hi, SIMON, B.O.F.H HERE, LISTEN, WHEN THAT GUY COMES RUNNING INTO YOUR OFFICE IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS, CAN YOU GIVE HIM A MESSAGE?"
"I think so..." she says
"TELL HIM `HE CAN RUN, BUT HE CAN'T HIDE'"
"Um. Ok"
"AND DON'T FORGET NOW, I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT THAT FILE IN YOUR ACCOUNT WITH YOUR ANSWERS TO THE PURITY TEST IN IT..."
I hear her scrabbling at the terminal...
"DON'T BOTHER - I HAVE A COPY. BE A GOOD PERVY AND PASS THE MESSAGE ON.."
She sobs her assent and I hang up. And the worst thing is, I was just guessing about the purity test thing. I grab a quick copy anyway, it might make for some good late-night reading.

Ahh, good jerk comedy short-story.. I kind of like it.
The writer definetly know how to "owned" a person (maybe it comes from his experience). The best event is when the operator punk a college student (spoiler).
A-nice-flaming-techniques-when-you-have-the-advantage-over, sweet!

And, sorry for the double post.. Solar Activity problem has bad effect on my internet connection..

Ok. Now that is damn funny.

Unusuall request, Coolpup. Leave that double post for comedic effect. Trust me. Its gold.

Recently found these pearls too. Was supposed to work, but... you know how does it happens).

Used to read some of them in days of youth in a games magazine. So besides decent fun, got abit of nostalgia...

EDIT: wait, WHAT THE FUCK! it says you edited BOTH of those posts?!?!?! thats just BLATANT double posting, despite the fact that you clearly know better and have a knowledge of the edit button. sheesh...

EDIT EDIT: observe how I did not double post, but instead edited my previous post. do the same. (this is one of my huge pet peeves...)
