I'm picturing the "wire department guy" as a guy who sits in a small closet full of spools of wire, waiting desperately for someone to need some wire.
Then, when someone finally comes to his closet, he's probably way to excited and creeps them out with his enthusiasm.
"Oh? You need some wire?" he'll say. "Don't worry. I've got you covered! What kind of wire do you need? Stranded or solid? What sort of gauge are you looking for? Do you have any preference with regards to jacketing or insulation? What sort of material? Most people just want copper wire, but I just got some AMAZING fiber optic cable in the other day!"
"Umm... Sorry dude. I was just looking for a broom..."
"Oh... Well... Let me know if you need any wire..."
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/

"How about a wire brush? BETTER THAN ANY BROOM!"
