dudacek Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 I wonder if the kids have shown Terry this Skype thing yet.
bunomatic Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 I don't see a problem with this. Its a changing world. No different than a phone call. At least he didn't hear it from a secondary source.
Stoner Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 I don't see a problem with this. Its a changing world. No different than a phone call. At least he didn't hear it from a secondary source. Certainly more personal than a phone call. Not sure why there would be any outcry. I wonder if the kids have shown Terry this Skype thing yet. Terry doesn't have a computer. Or a CB radio. Or that old phone that cranks, with the doo-hickey you hold up to your ear. Terry's your low-information voter.
Doohicksie Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Or that old phone that cranks, with the doo-hickey you hold up to your ear. Hey now....
tom webster Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Better than doing it via text message. Or worse, a fax.
X. Benedict Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Or worse, a fax. Singing telegram. Now, that would suck.
X. Benedict Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Strip-ped-of-your-duties-a-gram? It is called going out with a motorboat.
Lanny Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Certainly more personal than a phone call. Not sure why there would be any outcry. Agreed, especially under the circumstances.
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Singing telegram. Now, that would suck. That would be sweet......maybe Lindy was fired by a barbershop quartet.... "We'd kindly like to greet you with a message through this song....... Terry he still loves you but this season has gone wrong....... Darcy tried to keep you but sometimes life isn't faaaaair...... So take a deep breath Lindy and please try...not....to...dis...paiiiiiiir......... Lindy.....ain't go...ing nowhere..........Lindy....is here...to...staaaay Lindy...you're go...ing somewhere......Some..where...far..a..waaaaaaay Lindy....we thank...you kindly......Lindy...you're...ve..ry..swellllllllll Lindy...we are so sor..ryyyy......but this..is...hock..ey....helllllllll
thesportsbuff Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 When compared to a phone call, Skype isn't so bad. But it kind of makes you respect Darcy for going to Lindy's house and breaking the news in person. I guess I just imagined it was always done in person.

A little easier to drive a half hour as opposed to flying from Edmonton across the Atlantic just to tell a coach that he was fired.
thesportsbuff Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 A little easier to drive a half hour as opposed to flying from Edmonton across the Atlantic just to tell a coach that he was fired. Well yeah of course, but I don't know, it's kind of a big deal. It seems like something that should be taken care of in person -- either before Ralph left for the summer or after he returned. Would you break up with your girlfriend over skype while she was on vacation? Lol

I bet getting fired by a troupe of mimes would suck.
IKnowPhysics Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Well it looks like Kreuger... ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) ...got disconnected.
bunomatic Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 It would be even worse if the carrier pigeon shat on you as he came in to deliver the goods. Methinks skype ain't all that bad.
Corp000085 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 What's the big deal? Is Chat Roulette passé now?
ROC Sabres Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 It really does remind me of the movie "Up in the Air" with George Clooney were they are switching to a new firing system of having it be over webcam or whatever. If you haven't seen it here's the scene (F bomb warning)
Peppy22 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 as far as I know Krüger was in europe when they fired him. so face to face wasnt really possible... skype is still better than phone call...
