Wow. IRC can spawn some seriously weird conversations. For example, the sorts of conversations in which the term “stovepipe” has to be explained. Even worse is when people have the source material for such terms as “stovepipe”

    2 years ago The Management came back with the results of some study that they payed for to see why the company sucks.

    In the email that went out to everyone, one of the Key Problem Areas was “stovepipes”.

    Everybody was like, WTF? Stovepipes? Like Abe Lincoln’s hat? So then whenever somebody screwed up we just blamed it on the damn stovepipes. We never did learn what the fuck it meant.
