speaks for many of us in
Bitches:
I have no memory of me wandering off as a child. I think I was pretty happy to stay where I was, as long as I had a book and a stuffed animal to talk to.

brenda m: Budapest survived being smushed, right? So I'm sure Chicaginnati-Philabaltimore will too.
In Natter:
Hil R.: Anybody around who speaks German?
tommyrot: I watched Hogan's Heroes.
Jessica on her upcoming Interesting Event:
I'm hoping for the kind of labor/delivery they have on sitcoms, where my water breaks and then after the commercial break I magically have a newborn which looks suspiciously like a 6-month-old. And in the meantime, someone's done my hair and makeup.
Aimée: Oh! And on the baby songs, Blackbird was the first song I sang to Em. Yesterday was the one I sang during the middle of the night. And her newest favorites are Rainbow Connection, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Baby Mine.
I've gotten so sick of Baby Mine that I've started doing a Sid Vicious version.

Laura: I sing when alone, or in front of my husband and children. I tell them they have to deal with it. When the boys are misbehaving on trips DH and I sing classic rock, loud and with enthusiasm. It straightens them right out.
tommyrot, in Natter:
Also, I think there are warnings of large, pterodactyl-like creatures swooping down and carrying people off to feed their young....
eta: In what the National Guard is referring to as "a Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie scenario".
Topic!Cindy in Natter:
I want something with sass, which won't look like mom-hair, but won't look like nightclub-hair, either.
I need a hairy godmother.

shrift : "It'd be neat if they could make an electronic keychain that would tell me what word I'm fumbling for at the press of a button."
Steph L. : "Wouldn't that just be a keychain that says "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"?"
Cashmere in Natter
When I was 11, my mother called me up to my 17 year old brother's room and asked, "is that smell pot?" I replied, "No, Mom, that's incense. They used that to cover the smell of pot."
It was like a bad ABC After School special.
Trudy: Does Ann Coulter have Wyoming residency?
tommyrot: I think she gets residency in any state she wants, as part of her deal with D'Hoffryn....
