I slapped one of the hotel’s “Closed for Renovations” stickers on my forehead as I walked through the lobby this morning.
The breakfast buffet faces the lobby.
Upon seeing me, an entire family of four almost choked on their breakfast. (Chocolate milk shot out of the father’s nose.)
It was awesome.
What do you think of that, young lady? Pretty epic, right?
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE….
Somebody has big, no, make that EPIC news. Take it away, Becca…
Time to RSVP for Blogger Summit 2013!
In just about seven months, a black hole will manifest itself. It is the good, non-scary kind of black hole where people of the internet will converge a la reality. That’s right people, the date was determined (pretty much by a land slide) for the Blogger Summit 2013! Hold on to your long johns people. Mine are already packed.
Don’t forget to bring your chargers.
Jen has created a lovely official e-invite for the occasion and we are asking y’all to please RSVP if you are down like a comforter. To do so, just click here, and try not to have a stroke in eager anticipation. We want to herd as many bloggers as we can possible can into a farm of awesome for this event, and that’s where you can help. Please do us a favor and reblog, tweet, Facebook pimp, and take to the streets with megaphones to spread the word.
You've Been Hooked! 
Ha! Well it sounds pretty epic to me 😉 of course the family was the crowning moment.
A comic is only as good as his audience.
Hahahaha, that is awesome. I can’t believe milk actually came out of the guy’s nose. Brilliant. I would have fell out of my chair laughing, I think.
Most likely!
I need one of those stickers some days.
I hear you, J.D!
Hope you remembered to remove the sticker before you went home……….
Nah, they’re used to me by now…
Renovations in a hotel are enough to strike fear into the hearts of travelers everywhere. Shudder.
If the renovations don’t do it, their bellman certainly will.
Excellent, I want me one of them stickers!
But you’re perfect!
No improvements required.
And you sir are too kind!
>(Chocolate milk shot out of the father’s nose.)
>It was awesome.
– You’re a mean one, Mr.Hook. 😉
I’m lucky I ain’t sipping anything right now. Else I’d be (reverse?) snorting, too. With laughter.
Kate
The milk snorting wasn’t an intentional act on my part, but it rocked nonetheless!
But Hook you’re perfect just the way you are. Of course getting some dude to shoot milk out his nose, well that’s just cool.
It is, isn’t it?
Chocolate milk geysers. Now that’s worth spouting about.
I have to agree!
You are awesome without even saying anything!
Thanks for the link, partner! 😉
You’re welcome, partner.
Way back in the WayBack Machine, I worked at the front desk for a large hotel/casino here in Reno. The main towers faced valet and the bellman on one side and the buffet was on the other. Every time you describe your lobby, I picture mine. And, now, chocolate milk shooting from a gambling daddy’s face. 🙂
You survived a tour of duty art a front desk?
Good for you!
As a young, impressionable 18 year old in a casino, no less. I have no idea how I made it.
Agreed. As epic as one can get!
Why, thank you, Michelle!
Would have probably been more epic if the sticker was all you wore.
My arrest and subsequent termination would have been epic, that much is certain.
Sometimes you just gotta commit to it.
Lol, nice, you’d better get paid extra for your antics!
Rohan.
I’m lucky I don’t get fired for my antics!
Lol 🙂
Those stickers would be very handy not only on the forehead sometimes lol
True!
Did you seriously do that? Scaring families, how dare you!
For the record: they were shocked, but in a good way!
LOL!
Thanks!
By the way, I have intermittent difficulty reaching your blog. I can’t get to you right now for some reason, but I’ll be by soon!
Lately, Hook, I feel like I should have a sign like that tattooed onto my forehead… only I won’t, as I don’t do tattoos!
I echo your fear, Tom!
My job would be suited for such a sign too, alas. Well, I went through the E-vite process. Look forward to more news on the Bloggers Summit. At present, my attention is on my Kickstarter campagin. You can find it in Comics, entitled, A NIGHT AT THE SORRENTO AND OTHER STORIES. That’s Sorrento, as in Sorrento Hotel, the oldest luxury hotel in Seattle, thank you very much. http://comicsgrinder.com/2013/04/03/kickstarter-a-night-at-the-sorrento-and-other-stories-is-launched/
Good luck with Kickstarter, buddy!
Thanks!
So what body parts are you having renovated? Also, what is the Blogger Summit?
My brain is always evolving/under construction, Robin!
As for the Blogger Summit, Becca and Jen – two of the cutest and most talented bloggers out there – are working feverishly to bring bloggers from all over together in one place to party their butts off!
Sounds like fun, right?
It may not have been chocolate milk, but snorting none the less… simple hilarity is the best.
It is indeed, Jennifer!
You my friend, are the man! I would have died laughing if I saw someone walking through a hotel like that! Next time take a video for us sweet cheeks!
Sadly, that would most likely lead to a trip to HR.
Those signs come in so handy. Nice work.
Thanks! My immaturity comes in handy at times.
THANKFULLY!!!
Thank you lieber Freund schönes weckend.Gruß Gislinde
Und Ihnen, mt lovely friend.
I’m glad you enjoy your job, Robert! The sticker and family are great! And yes, the blogger summit! It’s very tempting. It happens right before my birthday (October 28th). And one of my best friends who is also a blogger on WordPress lives in Austin. You never know…
I hope you make it, Cathy!
Have a drink for me!
After Twindaddy stopped working at Wal-mart with me, I took one of his old name badges and wore it…that way, if I did something to piss one of the customers off, it got blamed on a guy who didn’t work there anymore.
Brilliant!
It was actually a couple of months before management noticed it, too.
That sounds about right.
