The mighty erinaceous: But my DH has been making me laugh for the past 24 hours by pretending to be Saddam and saying things like:

"Dammit, Bush, the movers were supposed to be here at 7! I don't know where they are! YEAH, I called them. Quit riding my ass!" "Okay, peeps, big party at the palace tonight! there's no way I'm getting my security deposit back, so we're gettin' cra-zee!" "I'm not just leaving the keys, asshole. I'm going to hand them to the new tenant. I'm not having you charge me to make new keys." "That stain? That was here when I moved in!" "Hey! Who wants to help me move? I've got pizza and Rolling Rock!"

Or being Saddam's buddies:

"Saddam! What's in this big-ass box? Chemical warfare manuals? Dammit, don't you know you pack books in SMALL boxes!" "I'm not moving that couch again. Just leave it. It stinks, man! Did you spill sarin on it or something?" "You can stay with me, but only for a couple days. My folks get pissed off if I have people over for more than a weekend." "Oh, man, you already packed the bong? Shit."

brenda m, Natter:

OK, I'm getting "page not found" on everything I try to go to except this site. It finally happened! The internet is ours! MWAAAHHHHAAAHHHAAA!

---

Yes.

Could be Saddam speaking.
Or Bush after the next election.

Oh, you can be SO fickle!

What ultramaroon presents Antonin Scalia with a Free Speech award? I mean, besides his mom?

Hell may be other people, but sometimes, if you're lucky, that also describes heaven.

Madrigal Natters:

Isn't it odd how some little bits of information get wedged in your head, even though you can't remember when you learned them and that they're not true. For a long time I thought William Henry Harrison had killed himself just after being sworn in - it was just in quick run through a history book I saw he'd actually died of pneumonia, though since he caught it after not wearing a coat during inauguration, it could be considered a vague half-hearted sort of suicide attempt.

From Un-Americans:

Trudy Booth :

Just popping in to let the Canadians know that next time Mexico wants to invade you we ain't stoppin em ANY MORE.

Sue :

Just remember where you get your perscription drugs on the cheap, missy!

Trudy Booth :

Soon, your signs will be in THREE languages!

Sue:

Mexico's invasion will end when they hit winter, and they realize it's much better to be down south in January. We're like Russia that way.

brenda m :

My dad came home the other night and was making noise about "see if we keep protecting you now, Canada." I pointed out that Canada isn't exactly in any danger and he responded "they will be if we're protecting them!"

erinaceous, in Natter:

It just gets worse. DH and I told everyone that we were naming Little Bird "Anakin Hippopotamus MyLastName HisLastName" if it was a boy and "Amidala Daffodil MyLastName HisLastName" if it was a girl. The actual potential names we kept deep dark secrets.

It was especially funny for folks who weren't Star Wars fans and didn't get the names. My mom was a little disappointed as she thought "Amidala Daffodil" was pretty.

Burrell: And thanks, Megan! Yep, we's having a baby.

Is there going to be a "name the baby" poll?

Uh, no. Because Monkey Pants is three kinds of wrong for an actual baby.

Sean K: You're no fun, Burrell. Monkey Pants would be a *great* name for a baby. ;)

Jesse: Monkey Pants is more of a middle name, I think, no?

ita: Oh, I smell a vote coming on!

erikaj: Definitely.

Burrell: You guys are as bad as my husband.

Amych: Wilhelmina Monkey Pants Burrell. It has a certain ring to it.

Sean K: Regardless, I have a strong suspicion that, now that you've planted that insidious seed in our heads, Monkey Pants will be the child's nickname, at least among Buffistas.

Amych: I've got it! The Voting Thread: What should we name Baby Burrell?

Jesse: Ahazueras Monkey Pants Burrell! Maimonides Monkey Pants Burrell! The possibilities are really endless... (And yes, this kind of conversation with my father is what led my mother to make sure they picked just one unisex name.)

Ellen S: Guinness Tobasco if it's a boy. Juniorella Michelob if it's a girl. I have spoken.

Sean K: Burrell will never speak to any of us again

Megan: I was thinking more like Balthazar Polgara Monkey Pants Giles. Might be too uppitty though.

Polgara: Nothing wrong with uppity. Great names = great destiny. :-D

ita: Monkey Bon Bon Pants Burrell?

Megan E: Too many Ricky Martin connotations.

Scrappy: If a girl, Buffistette Monkey Pants Burrell. If a boy, Buffisto.

Bitterchick: Back away from the Wilhelmenia.

Burrell: *looks heavenward* Sigh.

Betsy HP: Buffistina.

Jesse: Buffistina could just go by Tina, like the Albertina I went to high school with, so that's not so bad, right?

Sean K: Alouicious Monkey Pants Burrell. IJS.

Ellen: Buffisto I love this too much to wait 6 months for it. Someone needs to spawn now.

Erinaceous: Oh, {{{Burrell}}} It just gets worse. DH and I told everyone that we were naming Little Bird "Anakin Hippopotamus MyLastName HisLastName" if it was a boy and "Amidala Daffodil MyLastName HisLastName" if it was a girl. The actual potential names we kept deep dark secrets. It was especially funny for folks who weren't Star Wars fans and didn't get the names. My mom was a little disappointed as she thought "Amidala Daffodil" was pretty.

thessaly: Rufus Xavier Sasparilla?

Megan e: I just realized that this conversation totally justifies why I will never be reproducing.

Wolfram: Buffolomew Burrell. There's a boy who's gonna have friends. At least you all are talking names. My wife keeps trying to have the names conversation with me, but I'm so wait-until-the-last-minute guy.

ita: Dude. Lindsey. What other choice do you have?

kat perez: I'll stay away from baby naming cuz the only one worth anything is Pinky Tuscadero and that one's mine, all mine.
