In Natter --

Allyson: Hey, what's that ugly little man's name who calls the ring, MY PRECIOOOOOUS all the damn time?

Erika on Andre Braugher as Othello:

Of course, now I'm picturing Pembleton with Othello in the Box saying: "She was cheating on you, wasn't she? And you couldn't handle it. Not with that little punk Cassio...whom you took under your wing. Any man might lose it, if that happened. Especially when everybody talked about Desdemona liking it dark. Just admit it and we can all sleep." I may be disturbed.

Hil R.: Why does nobody tell me that I look like a smurf zebra before I leave the office?

Lilty Cash: Someone please tell me to stop flirting with my bartender.

KristinT: Lilty!

Stop flirting with your bartender.

Just jump him. Saves time.

How much do I love that I can blend Shakespeare and a fairly...cerebral pop culture reference and have multiple people: a. get it. And b.(Or maybe I should say 2 like Paul Buchman...) think it's funny enough to hold on to. One of the thousands of reasons Buffistas rule.

Cashmere: Conversation between me & Owen's pediatrician before we left the office:

pediatrician: "Do you have gas heat or electric?"

me: "Gas."

pediatrician: "Then do you have carbon monoxide detectors?"

me: "Hellooooo. Married to an actuary."

pediatrician: "So you have two."

me: "Four."

pediatrician: "So you're set then."

me: "You should see the spreadsheet he created when we were choosing a car seat. He pulled four years of company recall data for it."

pediatrician: "...."

Gus: Hey! My code is what brings all the boys to my yard.

Wait.

All you boys! Getoffamy lawn!

::takes off kerfuffle shoes, with no little regret::

Steph L:

Missy, kerfluffle shoes are so Out for autumn fashions. You best give them to Goodwill.

ita:

I hate Autumn fashion. As soon as the Winter brouhaha boots are in stores, I'm all over them. In the meanwhile I have to make do.

Betsy HP:

On the other hand, my arch-support brogans of whining complement any outfit.

ita:

For those with plantar fasciitis of the soul?

Steph L.:

I love my sandals of false superiority, and I intend to wear them until it's so cold that my toes can't stand it any more.

Betsy HP:

Exactly. My soul is all tired and worn-out and fallen.

cass: Puppycat keeps stealing my credit card from my desk and tries to run into the living room with it. Like she thinks she can order things out of catalogs or something. I keep reminding her that she Has No Thumbs. She keeps reminding me that she is very cute but really not all that bright.

billytea: 1. Wolf packs are hierarchical, so there'll always be a wolf who's last on the totem pole. If they drove off the existing omega wolf, then whoever was second-last will just find themselves in last place. In a pack of two wolves, whichever one isn't the alpha will be the omega. By this logic, I will henceforth refer to the risen Christ as the Lone Wolf, as he is the alpha and the omega.

lisah in Bureaucracy:

I was trying to figure out why Beep Me has always seemed more official to me. It's because it's got "Apocalypse" in the title.
