quip: mup-it-up

A friend of mine posted a note related to Statler and Waldorf from the Muppet Show today. I adore the ornery and disagreeable old men because of their sarcastic wit and the brilliant execution when hammering the rest of the cast. The inspiration of remembering them made for some interesting replies to people today. It’s been a while since I had a day like today… so there’s a few of them here

I use this line a lot so it’s funny for me to actually write it down. A coworker and I were testing out some music streaming stuff on a site. We had three songs queued up. As the third one was finishing:
Me: This next song is my favorite!
Friend: What song?
Me: Silence

Friend: I’m not 31 until August, so, it’s also offending me at the same time it isn’t working.
Me: Maybe it is working correctly then

Me: I love when things work right
Friend: But this isn’t working right
Me: I know, I wasn’t referring to this

Friend: Ok, it appears to be working right now, maybe it just timed out
Me: My uncle used to put me in time out too
Friend: oh?
Me: Yep, but much like what will probably happen with this shortly, I wasn’t any better after than before

Listening to another song:
Me: oh, my favorite part is coming up!
Friend: (trying to hum the chorus) you mean that?
Me: No, I meant the ending

Friend: You’re being quite sarcastic today… Are you going to be agreeable to anything?
Me: Yeah, I’ll agree that I’m sarcastic.

While reviewing a page for Michael Jackson’s “Bad”
Friend: Ok, this isn’t bad
Me: Yes, it is! It’s Michael Jackson

Friend: Ok, I think I fixed it kinda, it looks better, anyhow.
Me: That’s because you’ve gone cross-eyed

Me: I do like me some good music
Friend: So you like this then
Me: No, I said I like good music
Friend: You’re killing me today
Me: No, I’m pretty sure it’s the music not the conversation

Friend: Dammit, it’s broke again
Me: Quit trying to fix it and it won’t break again

Me: Oh, I like this song
Friend: What song, we haven’t picked one yet
Me: That’s what I like

Friend: I wonder if we do this if it’ll do something
Me: of course it will
Friend: what’ll it do, ya think?
Me: something

Friend: Do you like anything?
Me: I like peanut butter.
Friend: I meant music wise
Me: oh, I do sometimes… it’s just being a product of a semi-conservatory music school means I learned to do two things really well: 1) practice and 2) hate music.
Friend: hahaha… well, what do you like when you’re not hating
Me: everything you hate
Friend: you’re just saying that to piss me off more
