One of the highlights of my life was winning a promotional "Have Kajagoogoo at Your House!" contest. Until they killed the family dog with a blowgun. Then ate him.

I'm a poor watercooler conversationalist. Actually, there are no watercoolers in the machine shop so we all gather around the sludge tank, but the concept is the same. The others are usually talking about X-boxes or puting 17-inch wheels on an Acura or some other subject which I know nothing about and don't really care to learn anything about so I just start talking about something I am interested in like the NHL's instigator rule. If the other conversationalists are Laotian or Marshallese, they usually aren't even aware of the sport of hockey so they just stand there looking puzzled. The whites who are aware of the sport of hockey and who might even know that hockey fights are occasionally part of hockey will usually figure out what I'm talking about and interject with an, "I've never watched much hockey," or an, "I don't think I could name a single hockey player." I just ignore them and keep talking. No one seems to mind, though. As long as I stay animated and speak loudly enough, people will stick around for quite a while laughing and nodding and such, even if they have no idea what I'm talking about. So maybe I am a good conversationalist, if everyone is enjoying it. I just wish some of the others would jump in with something useful once and a while. I'm not holding my breath, though. People who work the night shift in extremely loud factories choose to do so for a reason. I don't think any of us are going to be struck with a miraculous burst of social acumen just because we're standing next to a sludge tank.
