I once met a family with daughters named April, May, June, July, and January.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Dudes. To cross-pollinate the "athlete bad behavior" with the stupid names, I give you Monshadrik, son of Torii Hunter.
Also, Kory, Koby, Kacy and Kody Clemens. If their father had been a ground-ball pitcher, I shudder to wonder what numbers their names might have begun with.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So their birthdays were pretty easy to remember?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
There's a Chicago family, big Cubs fans, who named their kids (all born in the late '80s/early '90s) Clark, Addison, and Grace (for two of the streets surrounding Wrigley Field and Mark Grace).

Man, me and shrift need to team up to go fight supernatural crime. We really do. Just think of the wacky hijinks!
Somebody should draw that! Or, no -- animated! That way we could have a kickin' soundtrack!
Man. Our trunk would be filled with rock salt and eyeliner and comics and Buffy DVD sets.
Let me know if asking for the tiny guitarist instead of a shotgun gets you the tiny guitarist.
I will accept several different tiny guitarists, tiny lead singers, and a not-so-tiny drummer. If you wanted to throw in the hot chick lead singer with the Modesty Blaise tattoo, I don't think any of us would complain.

Hm. Can't see DH going for First or Royal Brougham, but maybe Edgar Martinez (which is now both street and person)...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I would watch that every day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously.
...why can't my boss look to see what's an all-staff email, and what just went to the management team? She's always forwarding all-staff messages to our department, but then I never hear about half the stuff that's she supposed to pass on!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Using anecdotal evidence, I see more NFL players misbehaving off the field than I see hockey players misbehaving off the ice.
Professional hockey is played largely by Canadian and European players, who come from cultures that involve a lot less criminal violence than American culture does. I think that has to factor in.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That happens to me a lot too, Jesse. One of the higher ups will email both my bosses and me something (usually a project to do) and they both forward it to me, even though I was on the cc. Also, should I undertake the project, I can look forward to the same round of repetative instructions because my bosses think the higher up is telling them to ask me instead of letting them know what she has me doing for her.
