Now what we're gonna do is get our first skit ready to go here, and um...
we're gonna start off with something called Rawhide
from PhoneMail Development.
Mr. Pribilla, sir?
Yes, flunky?
The crop reports are in, sir.
Dang! Gonna have to close another building, flunky.
Uh, which one sir?
Looks like B-10 to me.
But sir!
That's where the Executive Briefing Center is!
And all those poor sales sheep...
Just herd 'em on over into B-12.
That's right next door, right?
But sir!
That's where you've got... uhh...
PhoneMail penned up!
Move them out!
Round them up and head them further in!
I've always wanted to keep a closer eye
on those ornery PhoneMailers anyway.
Head them in, to B-3!
Guten tag, Jake!
Guten tag yerself, Zeke. Wie gehts, y'all?
Gotta round up alla these here ornery PhoneMail cattle and herd 'em on out to B-3.
B-3? I thought we had 'em all corraled up in B-12!
We did.
But Mr. Pribilla's movin' them nasty Sales ones into 12.
One of 'em even bucked the big boss right out onto his soft little tushy last week!
Whoa!
You gotta herd alla these PhoneMail ones all the way across the ranch?
Yep! Sure could use some help, though.
Then lemme string along!
(song:) Movin' movin' movin' Movin' movin' movin'
(song:) Movin' movin' movin', Rumors can't be proven.
Will we really move in B-3?
Every year they're sayin' We're goin' or we're stayin'
Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
We're all relocatin', Those cubicles are waitin'
Waitin' for our occupancy!
Pack 'em up! Move 'em out! Move 'em out! Pack 'em up!
Pack 'em up! Move 'em out! B-3!
Load 'em up! Roll 'em out! Roll 'em out! Load 'em up! Move 'em out!
Pack 'em up, B-3!
Packin' packin' packin', Boxes we're a-stackin'
Nothing will we lack in B-3!
Pencils, pens, and staplers, Boxes full of papers,
Stacked up as far as you can see.
Cleanin' out our office,
Nothin's gonna stop us. B-12's gonna be history!
Box 'em up! Load 'em out! Load 'em out! Box 'em up!
Box 'em up! Load 'em out! B-3!
Load 'em up! Roll 'em out! Roll 'em out! Load 'em up! Load 'em up!
Pack 'em in B-3!
Whoa there, boys!
What's up, Bubba?
Can't come in here without gettin' the new brand!
Orders from the Big Boss!
The new brand?
Yep! The Big Boss went and changed the name of the place!
The whole dang ranch?
Yep! No more ROLM! Now we're, ummm...
Siemens Rolm Communications Inc.
Now get 'em ready!
New name, huh? Hmmm... wonder why?
Never could figure out why the Big Boss does anything. What was that new name again?
Dunno. Sure was a mouthful, though!
(Cows sing:) Siemens Rolm Communications Inc!
That name is our name now!
And if you wonder why
The old name had to die, Siemens Rolm Communications Inc.
just say "Siemens Rolm Communications Inc."
Tra la la la la la la!
Oh yeah, that was it!
Yeah, you know... I bet it had something to do with them big shots in Germany.
Maybe it was even Old Wilbur Siemens himself!
Willlburrrrr!
Of course, of course.
Old Man von Siemens came by in early June.
He met with Herr Pribilla in the Anechoic Room!
Von Siemens wasn't happy with the company name, I'd heard.
'Cause "Siemens" wasn't first or second, no, it came in third!
So he and Herr Pribilla made a wager on a game:
If the Giants won the pennant, then our name could stay the same!
Then baseball went on strike, we lost the bet, and 'fore we blinked,
We were Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. Tra la la la la la la!
Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. That name is our name now!
And if you wonder why The old name had to die,
Just say Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. Tra la la la la la la!
You know, our old name really was pretty confusing, though.
I never could figure out how to write it.
You mean,
does it have a comma in there after the ROLM,
or is there like, a hyphen or something?
Or a dot!
Yeah, a dot! But only when it's on blue paper!
I saw Miss Bonnie Hathcock at work the other day,
She was writing lots of memos, yes she had a lot to say!
But that meant she was writing out the company name a lot,
and she couldn't quite remember: was it ROLM, and then a dot?
Or was it ROLM, then comma, then "a Siemens Company"?
And was ROLM still all in caps? Did Siemens have to be?
She pulled her hair and yelled a lot, it pushed her to the brink!
And now we're Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. Tra la la la la la la!
Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. That name is our name now!
And if you wonder why The old name had to die,
Just say Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. Tra la la la la la la!
Nah, I'll bet it was... lawyers!
Yeah, lawyers will do anything for a buck!
We probably got sued or somethin'
Someone said ROLM sounded like their great aunt's name, so we had to change it.
There was a nice old lady named Ida van der Nicks.
We sold to her a PhoneMail and a new 9006.
She accidentally knocked them on her cat in late July.
Her cat got flat,
and now the sight of "ROLM" makes Ida cry.
She sued for pain and suffering, and mental anguish, so
She said "That name with ROLM up in the front would have to go!"
We settled out of court. She got a brand new kitchen sink!
And now we're Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. Tra la la la la la la!
Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. That name is our name now!
And if you wonder why The old name had to die,
Just say Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. Tra la la la la la la!
Everybody! Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. That name is our name now!
And if you wonder why The old name had to die,
Just say Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. (Just don't abbreviate it!)
Siemens Rolm Communications Inc. Yeah!
