The Water Cooler

Water Cooler (wa·ter cool·er): a device that dispenses cooled drinking water and often serves as a focal point in a workplace where colleagues meet and talk about popular culture.

Do you ever feel left out because you don't have much to add to the conversation around the water cooler? Here are some highlights from pop culture to keep you in the loop.

• If someone brings up sports you say "It's a shame the Red Sox lost. The Phillies vs. the Rays doesn't seem like a very exciting series." Extra: That is the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays...Bonus this is the first year the Rays have ever made the playoffs and they used to be called the Devil Rays.
• If someone brings up politics you say "Did anyone catch Sarah Palin on SNL (Saturday Night Live)? It was ha-larious."
• If someone brings up the TV show the Office you say "The thought of Dwight pretending to give birth to a baby makes me laugh out loud."
• If nobody is talking ask "Did anyone see the number one movie at the box office, Max Payne? I heard it was horrible!"
• Other notables: Britney Spears released a new video (but it's really the same old Britney who relies on her sex appeal to sell more than great lyrics), CSI is the number one rated show in America, and on week five of Dancing with the Stars Rocco DiSpirito was sent home.

That should give you some info to participate at the Water Cooler...use it wisely! If you have any info that is Water Cooler worthy leave a comment.
