Oh no.  No!  Nonononono.

I’m really the one that has to do this?  Really?

Fine.

Hi everyone, it’s Joe from HR again.  If I had any sort of professional credibility to begin with, it would be gone by the end of this post.  Why?  Because I helped to facilitate this: a collection of the filthiest pickup lines that Captain Kirk could (and would!) use to bed yet another hot, green alien.

Iron Man Infographic

We're all super pumped about the release of Iron Man 3- so much so that we've been trying to find the perfect outfits to wear to the premiere this Friday! (The midnight showing of course.)
