Jilli:
I once sat next to someone on a plane who spent the entire flight highlighting passages in their Bible.
Once they got a look at me (black velvet dress, top hat, small fanged rabbit), they edged away as far
as possible, and would occasionally highlight something in a determined manner, then glance over.
Ple:
My car needs its own hanky code.
Was rear-ended twice in the last three days.
connie, merrily misunderstanding Dana in Bitches:
You're slashing a gospel group? Extra Special Hell.
ita in Bitches, explaining why she doesn't try the 'crazy' card:
I can't spit and not hit a family member that has outpsychoed me without breaking a sweat. So I have a low estimation of my abilities.
Hecubus in Natter:
Emmett: Dad, can you name a monster for every letter in the alphabet, except for the vowels?
Me: So...starting with "B"?
Emmett: No, go ahead and do the vowels too.
Me: Okay. A is...Alien. B is a Balrog.... [bunch of other monsters] and L is....uh....
Emmett: Living Dead!
Me: Right. Good one. M is for Mummies. N is uh....hmmm.
Emmett: National Living Dead!
Me: Excellent choice.
Emmett: I know a good one for Z.
Me: Okay, I'll save that one for you. [bunch of other monsters] ...and U is for Undead. And V is for Voldemort. W is Werewolf. X is X-Ray Vision Man and Y is for Yeti and Z is?
Emmett: Zombie!
Me: Perfect.
Emmett: I helped with some. Like National Living Dead. That was a good one. It would be like a sport like National Football League. Except they wouldn't have any balls they'd just kick around their heads and their hands.
