Oof, got sucked in to a webinar on... something.  Mobile Apps or mobile marketing or something.  Why do people think PowerPoints are effective/creative?  And enough with one slide after another filled with nothing but buzzwords.

Come on, you're in marketing....you know buzzwords are a necessity, just like describing cigars with every flavor of the rainbow.

Well, technically I'm in advertising.  Little bit different but nobody cares.

The problem is that everyone now just focuses on creating new buzzwords, and none of them have any meaning any more.  Or by the time they gain steam and DO have meaning, everyone's moved on to something else.  Just get tired of being pitched them all the time by the latest and greatest start up company who has revolutionized the way people use the internet!!!!!  Buzzword buzzword buzzword SALES! PROFIT! 

Hearing "social media" is like nails on a chalkboard.

  you need IT buzzwords: "big Data", "Cloud", Business Intelligence, etc, etc, etc.

Agile, TCO, ROI...

this cigar tastes like skittles!

Must be a new Gurkha! 

You should see the band and the box!  Laser holograms, fireworks, dancing girls...

That's good enough for me. Where can I get 'em?

Hey Fishy, did you see that Warhead II is scheduled for IPCPR?

Yes I saw that, changing the size a bit. You know I'll be interested

Along with a coffee flavored Nub. Get your BILs some of those!

Ha! Right? I hope they appreciate how difficult it is to catch the Tabaks on the jam since they're spoiled now with the $4ea price tag. I should be getting something out of this deal

Those new NUB(non-NUBs) coffees are intriguing...I will have to sample those

where are you seeing them?

Good job on the NUBs noob!

He's gonna earn that 3rd star any day now.

I like buzzwords though.  I know in the first sentence whether someone is full of shit or not and whether I need to listen to anything they are saying.

You forgot to say "at the end of the day.."

We just need to get on the same page, and start reading from the same playbook.  We need more burn-down and less backlog.

I Prefer about a 10mg of Fukitol to help me through the rough spots.

More hair of the dog that bit you?  At the end of the day, it is what it is.  Let me know if a PowerPoint slide or two would be a more exciting way to share the HotD solution with you.  I can send it through the cloud or via social media networks.

Drinking Kool-aid and Tiger Teams, my dad loved using those on our ERP rollout...bringing back memories there.  Best Practices, what a joke...if it's the best, then fuckin do it!(morons) and Take Offline, our consultants love that, aka: stop blowing me up in this meeting and do it in private
