Natchitoches is the one that confused me forever.

I never fully grasped the whole "naptime" concept. I didn't asleep during naptime.

I was just talking with a friend about my disappointment at never being chosen as "nap fairy" because I couldn't stay asleep.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Emmett's old enough to be in MIDDLE SCHOOL??

I hereby decree that Buffista offspring are not to age in between F2Fs. It's just confusing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm convinced that "nap time" is just a break for the teachers.

(i.e. I never slept either)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Natchitoches is the one that confused me forever.

Does anyone here (I don't) know how to pronounce Chinquipin? I directed Steel Magnolias before the internets, and pretty much made it up (something like Chick a pin)

Trust my rage

Steilacoom tends to give non-natives trouble.

I used to live there! Such a pretty town with an awesome 4th of July parade and really cool beach.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Apparently, Christians need to become militaristic and embrace religious warfare....

Well, I made a good guess for a western new yorker. Of course we have Charlotte (shar-LOT) and Chili (Chy-lye), and also Conesus (Con - ee -shus).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Heh. From my sister, who appears to be having one of those fortunately/unfortunately kind of days:

"So this is my morning.

8:00am barely drag my a** out of bed because I’m so hungover from celebrating our apartment news [they got a great new place yesterday]
8:40am stumble into work forgetting that we had an all staff this morning
9:30am finally got my ONE YEAR anniversary gift!
9:45am puke in the bathroom
9:50 lay on couch in andreas delfs office feeling like death
10:00 am get called into Larry’s [new boss's] office
10:02am I GOT PROMOTED!!!!!!"

Now they're all off to spend the afternoon on a boat cruise on Lake Michigan. Should be interesting...
