No one sings "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" (one of my favorites) much anymore since "peace on earth, good will to men" is entirely too antagonistic.
I sing it when we get hired for carolling. It's got cool harmonies.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've had to nag people on the whole getting back thing--because they won't get specific. Look, if I say I need to know by the end of the year, and you either know or discover you can't tell me by then, no need to pretend that not having told me when you'll tell me counts as polite business practice.
aka, Don't Make Me Get All Up In Your Grill, Yo.
SO FUCKING GEEKY. Someone needs to buy me one.

But do you do it when less than an hour has passed?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That makes me so happy. It really does.

And I'm the asshole who's always saying, "I'm sorry, I haven't had a chance to look at that yet."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
See what you can do with Keats because he's a bit maudlin.
You all have seen "Ode on a Grecian Urn, Condensed," right? Four lines, people. And it rhymes!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Nagging is tough. I hate doing it, hate it being done to me, but the culture of nagging creates a need.
the things adolescents will come up with. Like, (a) where does this thought process come from? (b) Having thunk it up, what made you think it was a good idea to implement it? (c) Having decided to implement it, what made you think you'd be able to not get caught? (d) I guess all of you are not church-goers, are you?
At my alma mater a couple years back a couple (college) students decided to steal a big student art installation, truck it up to an adjoining campus a few blocks away, and set it on fire. Unfortunately, they decided to do this to an eleven-foot cross.

Nah, but I'm sure it feels that way. Still, if you've said when or under which conditions you will get back to them, they're just being whiny.

I'm glad one of us uses it to be productive. I use it to read Maureen Dowd.
I like yours better.

This wasn't even really nagging. It was "what do you mean by 'I will consult with you'?"... "Oh, well you know you have to consult with me in that case"... "Oh, and here are all the reasons you have to consult with me".
Dude, this is the 4th time we've had this conversation. I know. That's why I said I would.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For christ's sake, Perkins, would you just consult with the person already?!?!

Oh, man.
Thank you for that Batman link, ita, because it provided the perfect punchline to an email conversation I was already in the middle of.
