Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

"embarrassment in not an exemption."
So true.
That said, I did find a memo once, written to a nun, with the sign-off "May the Force be with you." !!!
So funny!
Truffles of the mushroomy kind? I'm guessing chocolate truffles wouldn't be so much of a surprise.

I'm taking a poll: Who here either uses or receives serious business e-mail that seriously uses emoticons?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I never received a business email with emoticons. Athough it's been well over 3 years since I've worked in a professional setting.

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

They only have them when it rains. But they are there.
aha! the damp! I remember when we lived there, the rain was always cause for great celebration. Happened once or twice a year.

You have a garage?
No, but my parents do. And yesterday I woke up when two 70 pound labradors bounced on the bed and tried to taste my face. Good times.
