Matt the Bruins Fan:
I remember having professional standards at one time... now it's more along the lines of "well, I won't feel it necessary to change my name and leave the country if things go out this way."
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

If I only had a brain...
Erica: Fay,you know "shag" is a carpet here, right? Also a dance from the 60s, and (Hi, Hec) a haircut.
Billytea: I'm still waiting to discover that in America, 'Bugger me sideways with a fish fork' is a brand of moccasin or something.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Steph in Bitches:
On top of that, I just asked incompetent!boss the same question 3 times -- the exact same wording each time -- and got the following answers:
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "No."
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "I don't know what you mean."
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "Yes, of course."
And then I figured it out. Incompetent!boss IS MegaHAL.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In Bitches:
Steph: Okay, folks. I need to write something for class tomorrow. Throw out some ideas.
Betsy: Childhood memories are always a goldmine. Write about the first time you ever plagiarized somebody else's essay.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In Bitches:
Fay(?): wrod. Like "Drat" comes from "God Rot Ye".
billytea: Yeah. And 'Zounds!' comes from 'God's wounds', and 'Zoinks!' from 'God's... oinks...' Um.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
BHP the Goddess in Natter:
One of my co-workers just said to me "Well, I suppose it's better to have a writer who's a perfectionist [meaning me] than one who doesn't care."
Honey, I have lowered my standards so far on this project you couldn't find them with a bathysphere. You haven't SEEN me being perfectionist. You couldn't cope.

That is silly. And now my giggle box has turned over and I'm having a hard time stopping.

Hil R.:
He moved to Scotland after the war, got married, had a few kids, then decided that Scotland was too close to possible nuclear targets. He and his family moved to New Zealand, because he thought that would be far enough away from any nuclear attacks.
billytea:
This is probably sound logic, although it's a lot closer to any recent nuclear explosions than Scotland is. I mean, who would want to take out New Zealand? It's like kicking puppies. Sad-faced, loose-skinned shar-pei puppies.
ita:
"who would want to take out New Zealand?"
Gandalf'll kill them if they try anything.
