Do you wonder what the spacious DU offices look like?
Do they exist in reality? Is it spacious and modern? Is it cramped and stinky?

What do you think they look like?:P

7. How did you find my office?
More importantly, how did you get past my dogs? And the snake. And the border patrol.

24. So....are you enjoying the moderators' hot tub?
And what kind of champagne are they serving nowadays while you loll around in the hot tub? When I was a mod, it was just that cheap, crappy Korbel. :mad:

6. I'm seeing Star Wars posters and a Wookie statuette.
Maybe a few crumpled Kleenexes in the corner and a big jug of Lubraderm...

22. Hey, get out of my bedroom and don't sit on those red chairs...
... in my dining room.

By the way, I'm going to have the red replaced with BLUE BROCADE!
The upholsterer is coming in the morning.

Jeeves, please show these ladies and gentlemen to the front gate.

34. Well, you know, it's just more money for the pockets
"OOOh, we need another fundraiser because we need to go Louis XVI! Oooh!" and then we all shell out our hard-earned money so the admins can have a decent space, and then they go buy cheaper Louis XIV crap, which most people wouldn't recognize as not Louis XVI, and they pocket the rest of the money to spend on cocaine and caviar and hookers.

31. That's not Happy Hour. That's a typical evening moderating.
They hid the champagne for the photo, however.

32. This kinda looks like my "office" area
I HAVE picked up all the paper plates and plastic cups, though. I just have tons of paper and other doodads instead. (Oh, and bags of different chocolate--can't live and eat at my desk without chocolate!) Other than that, it's not much different.

As for the DU HQs, I would suspect that by now, they've moved out of Skinner's basement and into a storefront someplace, with posters covering the windows so no one can spy on them (or try to shoot them!) and a setup not unlike Woodward and Bernstein ala 1973, but without all the ticker tape and typewriter noises constantly heard in the background.

30. I have actually seen the DU office.
The rumors are false. You actually do not have to leave the room to change your mind, but it's a tight fit.
