For the week of June 12

This is the week Buck started harrasing Rachel in the emails. Buck bit off more than he could chew. Responses are below.

The words of the week will be distributed on random days (i.e. whenever I think of it). The word of the week is brought to you by the S and the number 7. The phrase of the week is brought to you by Dr. Pepper (#41 in the vending machine)!

WORD OF THE DAY (this week’s theme is words borrowed from the Irish, bring it back to my roots YO!)- This feature is to expand our vocabulary

shebeen • \shuh-BEEN\ • noun

An unlicensed drinking establishment.

Example: When Rachel went to Ole Miss she went to a lot of shebeen in the Grove

PHRASE OF THE DAY- This feature is so we stay young, hip, and happening.

Yellow Listed

a person who does not wash their hands after urinating is placed on the 'yellow list', or they are 'yellow listed'

Example: Co-worker: You may want to double up on the hand sanitizer after shaking hands with Rachel, he was yellow listed last week when I saw her at the shebeen


PS. For those of you over on the other side of the 6th floor (JODI AND RACHEL): Happy Birthday to ME this week (June 9th)

Jodi responds:
Oh my gosh. I LOVE These! Rachel quit hanging out in those shebeens!
Happy birthday Buck! Go be a gundygut and celebrate!

Rachel responds:
Buck – ole buddy, ole pal – I think you had it wrong…this week’s theme should have been bashing and terribly offending Rachel!!! Haha J Shame on you! Perhaps we make next week’s theme something productive and useful (I’m sure you aren’t used to those words being in your vocabulary Buck, so maybe we could use those!!) J/K buddy, you know I couldn’t let you get away with it, I have to have my fun as well! J

P.S. I told you happy birthday (a day late…but it’s the thought!!) Also, if you were on the cool side of the 6th floor we probably would have decorated your cube, gotten you a cake, sang happy birthday, and gotten you gifts – but you aren’t, so we didn’t!

Buck Responds:
Well, well, well The Ole Miss Grad suddenly knows how to type more than a one word reply. You have come so far. Also Rachel, it is not bashing if it the TRUTH! From what I understand you are quite productive (in making the shebeen dry) and useful (if you call be a gundygut useful).

PS You told me Happy Bday after I reminded you that it was my BDay the day before. Also I am currently excepting late gifts.

Rachel responds:
Dearest Buck –
Although your scuttlebutt (noun, meaning report (often malicious) about the behavior of other people) about me and my GREAT education is completely false, I am beginning to wonder about your so called education and demeanor. Your last response may have been rushed due to your eagerness to be grotty (unpleasant or offensive) towards me – I’m referring to your typos such as: “it is not bashing if it the TRUTH!” and “if you call be a gundygut useful. BUUUTTT it sounds as if you are a mere Domeless Wonderboy (noun, from the book A Clockwork Orange, dome refers to one’s head; to be domeless therefore is to be brainless and stupid and a wonder that you manage to do anything at all, making you a wonderboy…a domeless wonderboy, that is!)

Also not only is your education worrying me but, I’m very concerned about your health here lately. I can’t help (since I sit right beside the vending area) but notice your numerous trips to the vending machines for Dr. Peppers and frozen chocolate. You are becoming very embonpoint (bodily property of being well rounded, sufficiently fat so as to have a fullness of figure). Maybe we should think about making the move to a diet Dr. Pepper?? I’m only saying this out of concern.

Your Friend.

Jodi responds to Rachel comment:
Now that deserves a BOO YAH!!

Buck responds to Rachel comment:
You (meaning Rachel Motes) win (meaning to claim victory) for today (meaning June 12th, 2008).
Those, what did you call it, scuttlebutts actually made me laugh out loud. Love the reference to A Clockwork Orange!
Well played madam, well played.

Rachel responds:
YES!!!! I love winning it's my favorite!!!!
