Prophetic? in Bitches, Raq:
I dreamed that I was trying to stop a wedding in a Balkan village using some combination of sparrows, turtles, wolves, and badgers (which stood for air, water, fire, and earth), and I was fighting two ancient crones who could shoot sewing needles from their fingertips.
Zenkitty. Firefly.
Kerfuffle in the brain pan, squish.
Kalshane: There is something on the poster about watching out for the managment float in the building tomorrow.
I'm frightened.
tommyrot: Maybe "watching out for" means to hide around the corner armed with a baseball bat?
Commable story from Aurelia:
my SiL shared this story with me: At the bowling alley last night, M (my 6yr old nephew) turns to D (my brother) and says, "What's a tortoise?" The bowling alley being a loud place, D leans over and says, "Tortuous???" M, not hearing D, says, "Yeah." Well, this was the law firm bowling league, so there was a chance that M had heard that word and didn't know what it meant, so D proceeded to explain what tortuous meant, and of course the first chapter of tort law (that's my bro!). M stops D half way through, puts up his hand and says, "No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'." D, a little stunned, says, "It's kinda like a turtle." M said, "Oh, ok," and skipped away.
msbelle sets it up for tommyrot in Natter:
msbelle - It has come to my attention that several of the Oscar movies are on my cable on demand movie thingy. Now playing: The Constant Gardner.
The plan is to watch at least half of it tonight and finish it off in the morning.
tommyrot - The Constant (Except for the Overnight Pause) Gardner.
Classic sarameg in Natter:
I think I stole part of msbelle's good mood. I'm not in a good mood, really, I just woke up with a lower level of all encompassing resentment this morning.

Megan E.: When you are flat chested, the left boob rarely knows what the right boob is doing.
flea: This is true in my bra, and also in the upper levels of the administration at my workplace.
From natter:
Sarameg:
I am causing other peoples' mondays!
Ita:
Ooh, I love that as a threat--don't make me come over there and cause a Monday!
lisah:
Or for later in the week
don't make me come over there and make your Thursday a Monday!
The inimitable Allyson:
Ask a simple question, get cirque de sol in response. We're like a clown car full of snark.
Consuela: Oh, holy fuck.
My boss, and his boss, just gave notice.
DXMachina: That means you're the new boss, right? Or is your organizational chart not structured like a Klingon warship's?
