Thanks, Vortex! I now remember that on the way to work, I did think to look it up on Urban Dictionary, but then by the time I was at my desk, I had forgotten again.
Stupid Fergie -- why must her songs be so catchy?!?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I still say it originated from an annoying (addendum: crass) dentist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I say it's the name of a children's cartoon character designed to get kids to floss. They did a whole ad campaign, but when they test-marketed it they discovered that Flossy Flossy was too psychedelic and was encouraging kids to do hallucinogens.
I might have made that up.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What about Freddie? And Nan and Bert?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Okay, so maybe I skimmed.
SO?

OK, some weird pop-culture factoid just popped into my head and I'm trying to figure out if it's true. Was there some '70s sitcom where a female character was in a bar or on a date or something and a guy slipped LSD into her drink?
It's possible I'm confusing this with an actual event when I was in college....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh thank goodness. I'm so glad that this is just slang, and not a reference to the elderly lady who used to host me when I came to visit my then-boyfriend SO. Also? How funny is it that 3 of the sidebar google ads are for dentistry. Not all context-sensitive ads are applicable!
Also, I empathize about the plumbing. Plumbing woes suck.

Art Crawl!!!
During both Prison Break AND 24 a promo for Bones aired in which I could swear I saw Michael Vartan dressed as a priest. Did anyone else see what I saw?

Our wings are not tired.
Didn't see it, but it sure brings back a happy memory.
