My mother is obessessed with people not knowing how old she is. She looks fantastic, so she could totally get away with claiming 35 or so (she's in her late 50s). She once asked my brother and I if we would mind if she told people that we were my dad's children by his first wife (which is, of course, her). My brother and I looked at each other and told her that she could tell people whatever she wanted, but don't look to us to back up the fantasy :)

I can't even.
It's not meanspirited at all. He's a big goofball.
This is the deal with my uncle Phil. He's a nut and my aunt May more than holds her own in that marriage.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, dear. My mom does it in a very funny way. If anyone ever called her on it, she'd totally fess up with a look of, "What?"

mr. flea bought a laptop last night. As he would want me to say, a 15 inch powerbook G4 with added memory and he got one of those little scuba-gear bags to keep it in, too.
I got a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Okay, my pressie cost only 1/100th as much, but mine came "deeply chilled." Yes, folks, Cheesecake Factory has a euphemism for "frozen." It's pretty good cheesecake, too, although it was a tough car ride home what with Evie going "I. WANT. CHEESE. CAKE." and me going, "Honey, it's deeply chilled! And we're in the car! Could you be a little patient? Please?"

I need lunch.
I have no food here.
I am lazy.
Add these things together? I may starve.

Why is it only 2:40? It feels like 5, at least.
YES. Except that it's 3:40 here. 3:48. And 50 seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just bought two pieces of pie for $1.50.
Sure, they'll taste like ass, but, $1.50.
First I finish the status report.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, back when Animaniacs was still on the air. But it does still run on the newish iMac.
Ah. I'll have to see if there was a PC version and if I can find it anywhere. You just can't beat clobbering faux!Barney with an anvil.
