Jessica -it sounds like the game matches the quality of the books.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

I love the idea that converted people immediately have sweater vests.
This is... a good sign? Presumably, none of them live in hot climates, but they might all be living in Preppytown.

Volvo owning seems to be correlated with Morris dancing, at least in England....

I guess I was thinking that was more eccentric than wacky, but I could be wrong.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Why do people in my family think it's funny to use " X mess" instead of Christmas or XMas?
It's really not, you know.

I stand corrected.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heh. We just had an all-staff page thing over the phones, saying that the phone system would be going down for five minutes, at 4 o'clock. The announcement was much longer than that. Then she came back and said disregard the previous message. Um, OK.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think my favorite message ever was when we got an email about a 24-hour planned downtime of the uninterruptible power source.
Only it came on a DST weekend, so in effect, there was a 23-hour 24-hour interruption of the uninterruptible power source.

An update from home:
Incidentally, Leif is apparently devising his own Contraption challenge. I learned this because he was asking if he'd spelled "place" and "another" correctly. When he asked how to spell "programmable" I went over to see what he was doing. He was writing hints to help his victim create the contraption. What he typed in front of me was, "Place another programmable ball here"
Leif likes to play a computer game called "The Incredible Machine: Contraptions" and apparently has figured out how to create scenarios. And yes, he is still four.
