"Tall And Tan And Young And Lovely, The Girl From Ipanema Goes Walking..."
July 26, 2018 If you hadn't heard, tomorrow is National Talk In An Elevator day. Each year, we use this day to step out of our comfort zone, go beyond the small talk, and really open to each other in that delightfully confined space.
For instance, let's say Doug held the door for you. You might say:
;)
But why not try something that will really get the conversational juices flowing?
Something like:
;)
See? Now you're sure to have a lively conversation!
Oh no! You stepped on Nelah's toes on the crowded elevator?
You could say:
;)
But why not lean in close and scream:
;)
This works especially well if it's not your birthday.
Brad from Marketing just made a big sale. Normally, you might greet him with something simple like:
;)
But you hate Brad.
;)
No better place to start a rumor than an elevator.
Eventually, you'll reach your floor and it will be time to get off. (heyooooo)
You could say something boring like:
;)
But why not leave them with more to talk about?
;)
Make sure they all know you're talking to Brad.
He knows what he did.
Thanks to Lucas K., Andrea H., Emiline P., Robin, Stacie J., Kate R., David P., & Alex H. for the cake that's sure to go viral.

Bwahahahahaha
Are there points for instantly recognizing why you chose that title to go with National Talk in an Elevator Day? Blues Brothers, amiright? Or not. At least that's the movie I think of every time I hear The Girl from Ipanema...
Are those two (last one) fighting, dancing, or something else.....like stopping to smell the roses?
=^o.O^=
I work in a public high school and whenever I get on a elevator, I provide elevator music by singing. It never fails to bring a smile to everyone else riding with me and at Christmas we have sing-alongs. And that is one of my favorite songs though I do take requests. "The Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny-Weeny, Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini" is also popular. No, not that way, you pervs, the song.
What the heck are those two purple things on the fourth cake?
The purple things on the fourth cake look like purple hemorrhoids to me. It was painful just to look at them.
At least one of those cakes is proof that Uncle Joey is most likely still in jail.
That last one is so pretty. I am sure Sleeping Beauty and her Prince don't want to know about Brad and his herpes lol.
The purple things are the decorator muttering through clenched teeth "This lady's ordering her own 4oth birthday cake. Must not make balloons look like sperm, must not make balloons look like sperm..." It worked. They don't look like sperm.
