Oh god, have to come up with a plausible way to miss the party again this year.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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
We were just talking about the white elephant thing last night. Funny.
Not funny: apparently some guy with a bomb strapped to his chest is holding hostages at Hillary Clinton's NH campaign office.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We are having, as usual a secret part wherein we can't know where we are going until a week before we go-- which is sort of dumb, because what is the real difference between knowing a week in advance and knowing enough in advance to make plans.
Sophia, are you sure you're not secretly on "The Office"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tell her to take muffins, whitey!
Ha! Another whitey coworker is bringing cupcakes. I have to decide if I'm going to do it for real and bring the tourtiere (pork pie), even though we don't have an oven, or come up with something else.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is disturbing - a man is charged with killing a college student by tying a rope around his neck and dragging him behind a pickup truck for 13 miles.
The most bizarre thing - the man is claiming self-defense.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Also, you're supposed to bring something that represents your culture, so she said she's going to bring white bread, which was funny.
Tell her to take muffins, whitey!
Bundt cake!

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

Having a baby? SO useful in this regard.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Sophia, are you sure you're not secretly on "The Office"?
Wow! That explains a lot!
Having a baby? SO useful in this regard.
Yes. My coworkers have children and their excuses sound legitimate. Mine sounds like I could reschedule (although I can't). Once I did use a kitten as an excuse not to go.

Attacked by zombies. That's actually a situation that's a lot harder to deal with in real life than in a game.

"I would go, but I have to save the Earth from evil Lectroids from the Eighth Dimension. Do give my love to Wilhelm for me, though, would you?"
Works every time.
