It's about time I posted something...
Subsmash and Ordeal still are my favorites, but Kill Straker is good
too. It's hard to watch for me, though, since I once had a
customer/boss who was very much like Ed Straker in mannerisims and
that he was generally disliked by all the people who worked for him.
Unlike Straker, he didn't have much luck in getting things done since
he really p***sed everyone off.
I even think he exercised one of Straker's favorit management tools -
calling the office and saying "Spread the word that I'm coming
in...it gets people hopping". Yeah, hopping mad!!
