There's something lovely in the long moment of dead silence during a phone conversation in which the person on the other end clearly is waiting for me to offer to do his job for him, and I am waiting for him to figure out that I'm not going to.

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
Ew. The best solution to this is that you keep your own name; he keeps his own name; the kids get both names. As it should be. Crazy Americans with no space on forms for the first last name and the second last name.

I knew a couple that made up a completely new last name. He changed his name legally, and then she took it when they got married. The name was Hale, and it was an acronym for something, though now I don't remember what.

Coconut and chocolate...yum. Oatmeal cookies? Definitely on my cookie second string. Will eat and don't really have a strong opinion on the raisin thing, but would rather have a chocolate chip or shortbread or something. Never knew anyone who put chocolate chips in, unless it was msbelle, who did send me cookies once which I liked but have forgotten what kind.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How many days till you give notice, shrift?

When friends named Lamb and Munn got married (in 1973), my father suggested they change their last name to Nnummbal (pronounced "numb-ball"). This did not go over well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A friend of mine married a German guy with the last name Boner. She kept her name, and their kids took her name as well.
Surprising, huh?

I'm getting the pig!
The only time I *hate* raisins is when I grab a cookie and take a bite of it expecting to taste chocolate chips, but I'm DENIED and get a mouth full of raisin instead. If I'm expecting raisins, then it's cool.

I'm picturing shrift with one eyebrow raised as she waits for the other person to catch a clue. How many days do you have left, shrift?

re: cookies.
I like cookies with chocolate chips. I like cookies with raisins. I just don't want cookies to combine both. Something about the chocolate seems to muddy the raisin taste, or the raisins make the chocolate taste overly sweet. Anyway, two great tastes that need to stay separate.

Yeah--why don't the women get to toss sexually suggestive bits of the men's undergarments? It's so unfair.
