Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Random: There's someone who works on my floor (for a different company) who flosses in the middle of the workday. That's weird, right? I mean, I get brushing three times a day (although I don't do it!), but flossing??

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I had the same mondegreen. It was Bob or someone else I dated who corrected me, making me feel hopelessly uncool.

Ah! How Soon is Now! How can you tell if someone is singing those words wrong. They sound exactly alike-to me anyway.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We have someone here that does that (in the ladies room, so why shouldn't she). I think it's odd, but I should add that she's gorgeous and has lovely teeth, so I should probably follow her example.

Depending on how close I am to a check up, I might. But definitely not all the time.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

There are a few people at work who do the whole teeth cleaning ritual at lunch. Ok, I guess I understand it, but I hate sharing the bathroom with them. I have to pee!

Also, children of Jamaican dignitaries marry! Reminds me of ita: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, god. I can never get married. My writeup wouldn't sound as cool as that. Well, the bit with my parents (dignitary!) would be okay. But I'd be letting the side down.

That's what I'll tell my mother when she next harasses me.

Oh, and I can haz cheezburger?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank god other people mis-heard, too! I wonder what made Charmed choose that as a theme song-- they were heirs, but it was about three sisters! I think there was a son later on....

I think I quoted it in an email, maybe -- I had written it down, I recall, and I was emailing the person in an early dating context when something like that can give you some serious demerits. Well, everything turned out ok, obviously.

This is what I'm saying. She's standing there forever, silently flossing!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I had the same mondegreen.

Me three, or four or five or whatever we're up to. Which leads to another perennial Buffista discussion, regional differences in word sounds. Is there anyone for whom "son and heir" sounds distinctly different from "sun and air"? Is it just a USian confusion, and all the Brit Buffistas are reading all this and saying, "I love you dearly, but duh" under their breaths?
