Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And that's all the asscaps I got.

Not to fear - there's an asscap train commin' 'round the mountain....

(No, I don't know what that means. Just feeling surreal today.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

For some reason, when a customer's total came out a round number (like 16.00) or some other weird number, like 1776 they would say "Bet you couldn't do that again if you tried!".

Yeah, I got endless endless endless rounds of "to the dollar exactly? like, no change at all? how often does that happen?!" when I was working retail. I developed a perfectly deadpan "roughly one time in a hundred."

Hubby's least favorite thing was when people would say "Oh, it must be free!" when there's no price tag on something.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

My least favorite was "Keeping busy?", particularly in jobs in which I was working 12 hours a day.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Seriously. Swingline to the temple gets the message across.

Also hate? When I answer the phone "Placeofbusiness, this is Daisy?" and get "Yeah, hi. How are you doing?" I'd be much better if you'd get to the point.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday, brenda!

You could say, "Still disposing the body...."

Happy Birthday Brenda!

I found out this morning that Elvira, Mistress of the Dark will be the grand marshal at a racing event in Memphis this weekend. Yes people, the end is truly nigh, as NASCAR has discovered a promotion that is seriously tempting me to spend $50 to watch auto racing.

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?

Happy Birthday, Brenda!!!!

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

Be careful, Matt. The NASCAR crowd is an entirely different world.

Oooo. Cass, I just noticed on the entry list for the event that Montoya will be racing. Almost, makes me wanna go too. I'll have to see if I can manage special passes.
