You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

billytea, are you guys getting an astrologer to select auspicious wedding dates? That might help also.

We have in fact rejected(!) the astrological advice, on the grounds that I'd already booked my flight. The planning committe (i.e. her relatives) seem to be understanding.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think the appeal of the Numa Numa song is that it is so frankly ridiculous. It demands imperious cats or something to give life to the incredible silliness of it.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Oh Fay, I'd hate to give the impression I was rolling my eyes at the misplaced apostraphe conversation; I enjoyed it. It's just something I'd be useless to spot.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Look who else should be abed!

Well, I'm on Guatemala time.

That's my excuse for my entire life.

Same here. Except that time I was gun-running in Guatemala; my excuse then was 'temporary insanity'.

I'm on google talk if you're around, though I can't stick around for long.

I bet you shot a man just to watch him die.

I'm on Hangzhou time. Which means I should be getting up three hours later than my boss seems to think. Curse you, clockwatching boss!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When I was teaching at CTY (a program for academically gifted kids) in Summer 2005, that song was EVERYWHERE. It was requested at every dance, a bunch of boys lip-synced and danced to it at the talent show, and that same bunch of boys and a girl lip-synced and danced to it for the parents at closing ceremonies. I'm sure that if they were allowed to have iPods, every kid would have had it on there. (They don't allow music with headphones outside the dorm rooms.)
