I came around the corner by my cubicle to overhear a co-worker mention a "Lucius."
"Are you talking about Harry Potter?" I asked excitedly.
"No. Basketball."
Well, I'm sorry, but people aren't allowed to be named Lucius outside of Harry Potter. It's not nice to raise my hopes like that.
In unrelated news, I think it's time for a good old-fashioned HP marathon.
(True: These co-workers are now debating the best way to drag a water-logged mattress out of a public pool. I'm starting to worry.)
Apparently your coworkers were trying to replicate that Mythbusters myth. I'm thinking a crane and hired help is the best way to go. On the mattress thing, not about the HP marathon thing.
ReplyDeleteHP marathoning is something you just can't outsource. :)
DeleteI have a coworker who has never heard of Harry Potter and does not know who JK Rowling is. I thought she was kidding when this first came out several months ago. I mean, even if you don't like the books, how can you have never heard of them? I'm still reeling from the news. But maybe she knows all about this other Lucius.
ReplyDeleteDoes she live in a cave and wear a hair shirt? Has she time-travelled from the past? I don't understand.
