I was really expecting a quip from Faye about Marten liking his women like he does his coffee - hot and relatively brown coloured. Enter Padma.

Sorflakne · « **Reply #102 on:** 10 May 2011, 23:48 »

I doubt the Secret Bakery has a sword hidden under the counter (it seems too friendly and welcoming for the employees to use martial weapons), so I'm not sure how scary Elliot would be going berserk. If anything, he'd be met by a single Faye Special right cross and be down and out.

Hmm. Looks like Elliot has about 80 lbs weight advantage over Marten. And its mostly muscle (ok, some larger bones also). The Pugnacious Peach is a tough cookie and all, but I don't think her best shot would make a dent. Unless she manages to get the family jewels. Elliott has that deceivingly docile appearance, but there is a reason he works as a bouncer at HR. I'm fairly sure he can move fast, if the situation calls for it.

Well. When shall the real ~~fight~~ negotiations starring Padma vs. Dora begin? Any bets? At least Hannelore realized the business potential right away (coming from her Mom?), Faye seems to be slower at getting that particular hint.

Edit: Rats, I may have created some confusion as to my meaning. I meant that Elliott's docile appearance may be deceiving. May be it didn't come thru like that. My bad.

Uh-oh. Hanners is schemin.' Also, Dora has a secret roasting process in the basement that she operates alone (I'm guessing that if Faye doesn't know about it, no one does)? I am most definitely....intrigued.

Hanners is her mother's daughter (minus the greed, evil and shark tanks) so no wonder she's thinking M&A. Does Dora draw a pentacle and summon hell-fire to roast the beans, I wonder? If Elliot is so docile, how did he get the broken nose? I wouldn't take him on.

I didn't even think of the "hot and brown" thing until I came in here. I don't know if that means I'm innocent, or that you guys are just a bunch of pervs...

If you really need to ask that question, then ... I think we already know the answer. To tell you the truth I didn't get it right away, either, but I'm just differently clued.

The problem with that interpretation is that in fact Marten has shown no indication that he prefers his woman "relatively brown-colored" - neither Vicky, nor Faye, nor Dora fits that description - so it's really unlikely that Faye is thinking that way.

Padma's already shown a complete lack of interest in Marten and he is nowhere near interesting enough on his own to change her mind. That ship will never get into the construction yard.

celticgeek · « **Reply #118 on:** 11 May 2011, 07:40 »

Marten is definitely not a judge of coffee: Second Worst Latte Ever.

Varian7 · « **Reply #119 on:** 11 May 2011, 07:45 »

I'm afraid I have to agree with Odin. I would love to see a Marten/Padma relationship, but both times she seemed to show interest (waving to him and asking what was wrong) she then promptly shot Marten down.

Does someone need to be violent to suffer a broken nose? A friend of mine broke his with a mis-timed header in a football game when we were kids. An ex's brother broke his falling off his bike trying to do a trick. Accidents can and do happen.

As for coffee, well I'm getting that, but it's not enough to compensate for the amount of mushroom management I am dealing with this week at the same time as trying to sort a failing RAID array.

Odin · « **Reply #127 on:** 11 May 2011, 08:57 »

As long as they aren't using RAID0, that shouldn't be too big a deal (if they are, well,

).

Side-note: I'm still waiting on SSD technology to get cheap enough to where I can do an "OS+primary programs on SSD & all documents/constantly-edited media on traditional HD" setup without spending stupid amounts of money on an SSD that will store my OS + other main programs without a huge problem as far as actual storage space goes. Because booting Windows 7 in less than 3 seconds and all other programs almost instantaneously just sounds wonderful.

It's a RAID-5 array with no hot spares. I am working to get the new RAID-6 array in place - well, it's up and running, but I'm still tied up configuring the clustering on the virtual machine hosts that will talk to it so that I can set up Hyper-V with movable VMs. Configuring a setup with 30 network ports to configure (16 of them for iSCSI) and 27 network cables connecting a mere three boxes (plus switches for the SAN) has been doing my head in a bit; but it's beginning to come together now.

At the same time I've had the university changing some of my users' email addresses without telling me, so my mail server has continued sending out their mail with a now non-existent address on. That's just the tip of that iceberg, too - it's come about because of the merger of several departments to form a new one with a new name.

Seriously, I am in favour of Marten getting together with Padma, if only so he can not be so gloomy all the time.

Elliot is my new favorite minor character. Intimidating, bulky, yet strangely soft spoken guy.

Which is oddly a very good definition of me. Unlike Elliot, I have gone into a "berserker mode" when pushed too far. Like in elementary school, when one kid was pissing me off so much before PE, I snapped, tackled him to the ground and put him in a full headlock that was only broken up when a teacher came by. Got punished for it, but the class looked at me differently after that. As in, "Holy shit, this kid could kill me if he put effort into it."

Yeah that whole, "hot and relatively brown-colored" was quite the open ended phrase. As with others, my first thought was about Padma.

Then, of course my mind wandered to the idea that Marten may be into some REALLY nasty stuff in bed (which Dora didn't tell everyone and she covered it up saying he was vanilla).

Then the next obvious thought was that maybe he liked women with light skin but didn't bother to clean themselves well enough, so they were relatively brown in certain areas.

Then my thoughts went towards the more innocent route, I'm sure she was talking about kittens and bunnies with brown fur color which he likes to have as pets and cuddle with them for warmth.

Then I thought, nahhhh, Marten's a dog person. I could see him in his single, lonely days (pre-QC timeframe) letting a dog sleep in bed with him, with brown fur of course and Marten as the front spoon.

Then I realized Faye was talking about coffee. Yeah duh, coffee.

Put me down for the "...hot and brown..." was an allusion to Padma. Sort of a Jeph referance/in-joke.

Marten and Padma have crossed paths before. And it all went.....

nowhere.

She thought Marten and Steve were a gay couple.

And is probably still convinced of it.

Padma is turning out to be more like Faye than she is like Dora. Also, I think it's pretty cool that Faye gives a shit about her job enough to start organizing business deals before someone has to remind her she's not the boss.
