Do you remember Joe Millionaire, my coworker and ex-roommate who I've known since I was a wee lass? Well he isn't around here so much these days since moving to England with his gf but we still talk all the time. Sometimes it's difficult to have a personal and professional relationship with one person and other times it's just downright funny-- especially when it's Joe M. we're talking about here. [Sidenote: one of his college buddies was also at Mel and Todd's wedding and I went up to say hi to him. We were chatting and I was like, so do you still hear from (insert real name here)? And the dude was all, oh, you mean Joe Millionaire? Eek! My nickname proclivity is going to come back to haunt me one of these days.]
ANYFWAY YOOPSTERS: Here is the part of the yahoo convo that made me crack up. He was explaining his visit to a customer to me and types:
pyke: time to put up or shut up
pyke: you cannot take a toyota
pyke: put a rolls royce engine
pyke: rolls royce interior
pyke: and rolls royce tyres on it
pyke: and still call it a toyota
Amazing, I can totally understand what you're saying now that you're speaking the international language of luxury vehicles.
And yes, he's started to spell the British way... employs the phrases "keen to" and "taking the piss" [to make fun of]. Oh, what a funny millionaire.
[Deleted part fixed, sorry.]
