It's called a hash. That's why tags on Twitter (and other websites) that use it are called hash tags. :shrug:

Slylock Fox

You know, I'm kinda curious how this keeps happening. Did Slylock and Max go over to Weirdly's dungeon of horrors one day and Weirdly welcomed them in as guests and invited them to sit down and served them a couple glasses of lemonade? And then Slylock and Max drank it? Again? I'm really starting to question Slylock's claims to super sleuth cunning here.
Slylock and Max just like playing in Weirdly's holodeck, so they come around saying "Gee, I hope Count Weirdly doesn't drug us and throw us in the 'virtual reality chamber' again! I always think he's transported us across the world to some far-away location! I sure am thirsty, though."

And the answer to this puzzle is that the ape is blue. Apes are not normally blue. Then again, mice aren't usually yellow and humans aren't normally green, so who knows?

I was gonna say the ripped jeans style is years old but I just looked up a couple women's apparel sites and sure enough they still sell them. Ugh.

It's not that they still sell them, it's that they're back again. They were out of fashion for a bit, now they're not.

Retail

...customer service? We don't do that poo poo here. We don't give a poo poo about customers. The only people we care about are other retail employees. Actually, that's not true either. Let me amend that. We only care about other retail employees who are exactly like ourselves with the correct(TM) opinions.

Being pulled away from your work so that your boss can "amp you up" by telling you to do what you've already been doing all day, every day and then ask you what your CS goal is so you can barf out some trite company line instead of just say "I'm going to do what you told me to do and also help people find poo poo until my shift ends" is loving dumb and they're right to hate it. Cashiers have stats that can be monitored, but if you're working the sales floor the only criteria you're measured on is how quickly and efficiently you complete tasks; it's basically impossible to track your impact on sales as an individual. My company used to do this same sort of thing and not a single one ever worked because half the people in the group would be pulled away by customers because the store is already loving open.

Not to defend the characters in "Retail." They're all garbage, but this "huddle time" poo poo is more corporate dart throwing to stave off the encroaching irrelevance of brick-and-mortar retail.

None of that crap happened in the book. Which probably has implications for Toad and Stuart Little, as well.

See, from the perspective of a cashier I'd gladly take any excuse not to be at my register, because being sworn at every day by drug addicts that have to wait a day to pick up their oxycodone, or asked "why doesn't my insurance cover this?!" 10 times a day was not fun. Watch a training video in the back room? Huddle time? poo poo yeah, sign me up!

If corporate wants to use the employee time they're paying for to do questionably effective huddles, and I'm getting paid to attend them, then whatever, it's their money.

I skipped a few of these in the catch-up because I could not work up the ability to give enough of a gently caress to make an effort. All you missed is that some random middle-aged lady showed up at the farm spouting mildly bitchy things and Tommie took an immediate dislike to her. Naturally, they were both smiling pleasantly at each other throughout the conversation.
