KristinT, on the likely outcome of having to take DayQuil in the middle of her teaching day:
"And so the end of Midsummer Night's Dream, like many Shakespearean comedies, ends in multiple weddings and happily ever after. In this case, the addition of the fairies makes it...Oooo SHINY!"
crickets
"Ummm...Ms. T.? Why are you under that desk?"
"I think I saw a fairy! Or a quarter, not sure. But now that I'm down here, I'm having a hard time getting up again. Everyone do a vocab exercise or something."
Madrigal Costello:
Ezzle would be an Australian gangsta-rapper, probably have a song about pouring a 40 and vegemite on a homie's grave.
Gus screws with someone's mind:
A fellow came up as I was leaving the grocery store today. He was trying to sell some kind of raffle ticket. I spoke to him in Bantu. He tried louder English. I responded with a shrug. He thrust the tickets at me and shook them as he loudly announced, "Buy! You buy. You buy!"
So, I gave him the big smile and said "Bye!" and waved as I left.
These are the moments one lives for.
Allyson in Firefly, on the multi-faceted talents of the Buffistas:
We send rocket ships to Mars, we teach courses on How to Kill People, we write books on Bubblegum Pop. We are in NASA, we teach Jr. High, we're on Jeopardy, we're writing for television. We're adding words to the Oxford Dictionary RIGHT NOW, and inserting sublimal messages in the New York Times Arts and Leisure section. We've infiltrated the highest levels of government. We're set to take over the world, but alas, we are lazy and shirking our world-take-over plans by posting here.
And DX's followup to the above:
Procrastination is a harsh mistress.
