I set up, and the rest follows in Natter:
Hec: [Fig Newtons are] named after the town of Newton near Boston. It was a cookie invented for WWI soldiers. The filling is indeed fig.
Nilly: When geography and cookies combine, they create physics history. I find that rather poetic, actually.
Gudanov: Somewhere out there perhaps there is a young physics genius named Tollhouse or perhaps Keebler that will unravel the mysteries of gravity.
Steph: I believe Wally Amos (of Famous Amos Cookies) discovered the Grand Unified Theory that made sense of both relativity and quantum physics. But he's keeping it to himself.
The Teppy and Sean previously in Movies:
Sean
: Have I mentioned lately how much I adore your spicy brain, Teppy?
Steph
: You can never say it too often.
Sean
: Oh good, because I think I just sent you an email saying as much twice, accidentally.
Steph
: I have no mail from you, sweetie, much less duplicate.
Sean
: You checked the hotmail addy? My sent box swears I sent it twice.
I'll send it twice again.
Steph
: Still nothing. I blame Hotmail.
Sean
: Bastards. Well... four identical emails should show up in your inbox eventually.
Steph
: I just got 2. Now I'm waiting for the other 2. Slowpokes.
In Natter, Nicole is not feeling well...
Nicole: Drinking cafeteria cocoa, sucking on rocks and constantly blowing my nose.
Today can be over now.
Steph: Nicole, are you really sucking rocks?
Nicole: Yup. I found a pretty polished rock in my medicine cabinet last night while I was searching for the always present except when I need it bottle of NyQuil, and so I took it as a sign. Washed the rock real good and rinsed it with listerine. My throat feels a little less parched, which is good cuz I can not drink any more water. Feeling practically sea-sick as it is.
A bit later...
Nicole: So much for sucking on a rock.
Lori: Did you swallow it by accident?
Nicole: Yup. Obviously the major reason why I wasn't told about this process of saliva reproduction previously.
Hec: Nicole has the digestive tract of a gravel eating bird, pass it on..
Nicole: stupid rock
Fixed. I got confusled because you had a big shout out to Erin in your post.
ME: Only time the cat humped the pillow was after the pot. Tres romantic.
Teppy: I knew a guy like this in college.
Steph L.:
Thom = THE MAN. Granted, Kyan is hottttt, but Thom is hot and funny as hell AND knows his way around a Pottery Barn.
Rio:
arm-wrestles Steph for Thom
Steph L.:
Babe, you just had surgery. I can beat you down.
BEEP.
Rio:
That's why I said ARM-wrestle, silly. All this crutching about has given me Popeye forearms.
Steph L.:

Rio:
Also crutches are good for hitting.
Steph L.:
t weeping
Rio:
very slow victory lap
