QWK gone?

[fryman]

Is Mr. Froggy being taken to the vet's and being put to sleep?

 

[allnitesatelite]

Mr. Froggy Crocked?

 

[ChuckUFarley]

"Mr. Froggy Crocked?"

No, I don't think he "crocked". He may have CROAKED, but I don't think he would be cooking anything right about now.

 

[allnitesatelite]

Crocked was a reference to being drunk. Never heard it used as a reference to cooking, interesting.

 

[whome?]

GOOOOD cover.... It's ok to admit a misspelling or a typo... we understand... after all, you work in Radio.

 

[fowler]

Was the GM really fired? Again?

 

[ChuckUFarley]

"Crocked was a reference to being drunk. Never heard it used as a reference to cooking, interesting."

Yeah that was a nice cover, especially if you actually LOOK the word up and it says NOTHING about being drunk and everything about cooking!

Oh and I believe the word you were looking for is "Cocked" as in, he was "half-cocked" after drinking four pints of Stout.

You would think after working in radio you would have your "booze" lingo down!

 

[MADBALL]

I think the term Allnite was looking for was "coked"

Tsk, tsk, tsk… Let’s use this as a “teachable” moment.
First of all we must see the word as it was used within the context of the conversation. In this case we have to believe that had he been verbalizing he would have stated “croaked” but because he was in type he either had a typo or misspelling. (Assumption)
Now… let’s break this down a little further.

We know the English language is difficult to master but if we apply the basic principles we can find the definition by determining its use within the sentence. Is it being used as a noun, verb, or as an adjective? Let’s compare…

Definitions of 'crock'

1. (noun) carbon black, lampblack, soot, smut, crock
a black colloidal substance consisting wholly or principally of amorphous carbon and used to make pigments and ink
2. (noun) crock
nonsense; foolish talk
"that's a crock"
3. (verb) crock, earthenware jar
an earthen jar (made of baked clay)
4. (verb) crock [/b]
release color when rubbed, of badly dyed fabric
5. (verb) crock
soil with or as with crock

Definitions of 'crocked'

1. (adj) besotted, blind drunk, blotto, crocked, cockeyed, fuddled, loaded, pie-eyed, pissed, pixilated, plastered, slopped, sloshed, smashed, soaked, soused, sozzled, squiffy, stiff, tight, wet
very drunk



So…. As we can see, the intended use as written is correct… he was referring to drunkenness in his rebuttal.

Me thinks you are half ****, not "Half-cocked" as you state… let me look that one up for you….Here it is
1. (noun) half-****
confusion resulting from lack of preparation

Words can be SO much fun… especially when working in radio!

Yes....the GM was fired. I don't know if this was the reason...but the story I heard was that Carol came in town and went ballistic over the fact that they had run out of paper towels in the ladies room. How do we save radio? We can start by replacing the insane with sane and rational management. Good luck with that ever happening.

Apparently the way we can save radio is to ALWAYS check the ladies room and make sure there are plenty of paper towels. LOL!!!

Help, I've lost track. They've been in SC for what--11 years? And how many GMs is this? Eight? Nine?

Insiders say the sales manager--the same guy who came in as a package with the guy that just got axed--is gunning for the job.

Why?

Too late. Looks like he couldn't close that sale, either.

 

[fowler]

Look, for all the sarcasm, let's face it - a towel-less ladies room is symptomatic of mediocre management.

How can you take a company where it needs to go, make it the best it can be, achieve greatness, etc., if you can't keep a bathroom supplied properly? Sheesh! Off with the freakin' guys head!
Now they can bring in a new wonderboy who will provide leadership and get what the company deserves finally. He will demand a tripling of revenues, super-high average unit rates, a steady supply of gourmet coffee, sporadic ass-kissing and abject cowering, and, dammit, a clean towel-filled bathroom!

 

[bossjock 56]

This gives me an idea for a new business venture. How about a broadcasting school that teaches from a perspective of today's economy. Instead of teaching studio technique and production skills you could offer courses like:

PURCHASING 101....Learn to master the skills of ordering supplies...like toilet paper and bathroom towels.

COWERING 101.....Master the skill of always knowing where the boss is before socializing with your co-workers and making comments you wouldn't want him/her to hear.

ATTITUDE 101...Will equip the student with skills such as saying all the right things when the boss is around, keeing his/her coffee cup filled at all times and learning to say "you're absolutely right" at all times...and always with a smile.

RATECUTTING 101....This course speeks for itself.

 

[wiifm]

Why would any rational person with an IQ above that of a pecan want that job? There is no amount of money that can adequately compensate you for putting up with the kind of nonsense that comes along with that position.
