And Aimee's further followup:
Is that you??
[edit by John H for browser-stretching]
Emily: Anyway, if I can take a class at Harvard Extension for that little money, then I don't really mind dropping this one.
Sean K: And you get the privelege of telling people you went to HAhvahd. edited by Sean K on Jan 22, 2003 2:18:31 pm EST
Emily: Yeah, but Sean, you know my compulsive honesty. I'd always last about three seconds before saying, "Actually, the extension school, which you don't have to apply for."
MiracleMan: And after that she'd engage in ritual mortification in the linen closet with a cat o' nine tails made from shredded towels muttering "BAD Emily...BAD Emily...remember station in life...the sin WON'T COME OFF..."
Phill: Yeah, but you just need to add a few grunts, mutter chicken fucker, and twitch and people will think your adendum is tourettes.
billytea: I use the same approach when an interviewer gets onto past criminal convictions.
Miracleman: I just lunge across the desk and chloroform them, then slip a half-empty bottle of gin into their desk drawer. When they wake up I offer to "discuss" their drinking problem with HR.
billytea: Y'know, just once I'd like to see you solve a problem without chloroform.
Aimee: coughhowhegotmetomarryhimcough

Hey, that's an unfair characterization.
I sometimes use a dart loaded with ketamine.
The hard part is sneaking the rifle past reception.
Phill:
Ketamine? Laudanum? It's like you guys read my diary.
seriously, stay out of my diary.
BHP: Nobody is ever kidnapped with chloroform any more. I feel this is an important plot trope that should appear in more popular novels. Also white slavery. And duels.
Emily: Yeah, and what happened to the laudanum? What, it's not fashionable enough for your modern druggers? (Is druggers a real word? No. Look! Shiny thing!)
Segue from laudanum to absinthe, leads to debate on advantages and disadvantages of latter:
Sean K.: I think it's sort of like Jägermeister. Also big jujuu, much magic.
Aimeé: Hmmm... I do believe you misspelled "tastes like shit. Causes much vomiting."
ZoieFinch in Buffy (non-spoilery):
I think comparing the soul directly with the kidneys misses the whole mundane / divine distinction and therefore the original point of the entire soul concept, ( in English English of course, I'm coming to accept that American English is a completely different langauge and does strange things to ancient and cherished ideas.)
Edited to add Connie's response:
That may be a summation of the entire American raison d'etre.
