The office has turned into a Talk Like Sean Connery zone. People converse using a Sean Connery accent. It’s a bit bizarre, even by my standards.
It all started with our conferencing software, WebEx. I’ve long thought their voice prompt guy sounds like Sean Connery. So, every time I logged in to Webex, I would do it in a Sean Connery voice. Well, the voice has escaped my cubicle and spread. Now half of the office is talking like Sean Connery. It’s gotten out of control.
The appeal is simple: if you want to make anything sound funny, just say it as Sean Connery. Try it. I’ll wait.
..we start a “Talk Like Costanza” day? You have to yell everything. It was pretty close to that last Thursday!
