As the LG was sitting around the round table, O-Canada walks in eating a cookie. Displaying cookies in front of us is like hanging a steak in front of a bear. Both go nuts! Here’s how the conversation went once we returned to electronic conversations.
OM: Where are the cookies??!?
O-Canada: I’m in the meeting. Trying to learn….
OM: That has NOTHING to do with cookies… Quit stalling!
O-Canada: I’m not stalling… If I was, I would start asking you about how Little OM is… BTW, how IS little OM?
OM: See.. now you are stalling. What time is your next break, so I can time when the cookies will arrive. Little
OM is good.. he is a pain in my butt some days, but he is doing well.
O-Canada: Think the next break is at 1:30 – why don’t you swing by and avail yourself of a cookie?
OM: Tea time at 1:30.. perhaps a cookie too.
This is where the conversations got a little angry sounding…
T-Mobile: OM, Professor and Bago are saying it has been a while since you baked some cookies ----- they are just saying you know!!!!!!
OM: They are right! I think it is overdue. Plus, it is performance review time.. always need something for people to talk about.
T-Mobile: Oups OM not MC
OM: I knew who you meant.. When has MC ever baked cookies?!
Coach: MC, don’t bake! So the answer is never
ManCave: There was photographic proof of me making cookies when you FORCED everybody to last year.
OM: Correction.. There was photographic “evidence” of you holding a plate of cookies. There is no proof of anyone baking them. And forced is a very strong word for what was obviously encouragement.
Professor: Geez…what happened to the old MC, this new one is very unpleasant (and kind of violent)! If we don’t find the old MC, I will be filing a missing persons report in less than 24 hours…
Coach: Can’t we just get along? It’s coming down to a “North vs. South” thing all over again.
ManCave: Photographic evidence, I have made cookies…
Coach: This picture is staged.
ManCave: Oh Hell no. I made those cookies. Like a Keebler Elf on crack. I was a cookie makin’ machine that night.
Coach: MC Elf! There’s a picture in the future…I can see it now!
OM: Agree with Coach. Look familiar MC?! Huh?

OM: I don’t think the moon landing was staged as good as this one..
Coach: There you go…staged!
Professor: Without a time-lapsed video of MC making the cookies, I am going with staged!
ManCave: I even posted the recipe for others….I am a cookie god.
Coach: For the rest of the LG, have you ever had one of “his” cookies? NO
Professor: A few months at the Mecca and look what has happened…
Coach: Exactly!
OM: We knew it was only a matter of time.
ManCave: Hmm, that is one platter of cookies more than you have ever brought in Professor…hmm….
Coach: WOW!
ManCave: You all suck. You are all heathens! Join me in the Death Star, er, Mecca! We can conquer the world!!!!!!!!! And bake cookies too.
OM: NEVER! And I don’t care if you are my father.
Coach: It is “North vs. South” all over again. That war started over the word “heathens”.
ManCave: Don’t make me light saber you. I am a JEDI.
Professor: Easy MC, your memory loss must be caused with the water you drinking from Mecca. Several people can vouch for cookies that I baked and brought in that day!
ManCave: Those were from the kitchen of Mama Professor.
Coach: Challenge Flag has been thrown.
Professor: Baked in my own kitchen…which I believe is bigger than yours…Bigger the kitchen, better the cookies!
ManCave: Is it true what they say about the size of a guy’s kitchen?
Coach: Hey, we don’t talk like that here. Never talk about the size of your kitchen here.
OM: I can’t stop laughing over here…
ManCave: It’s not about the size of your kitchen or your cookie….it’s how you use it. Just sayin’…
Coach: That’s called Cookie Envy!
ManCave: Why all of this violence? I believe this hate should be directed toward the cookie-blocker, Pierre.
Final note:
This is exactly what happens with someone is eating a cookie in front of the LG without sharing. WE GOT NUTS!
