Rudeness is not necessary. Esp in an office. But then again, I keep hearing Adults say things like "Eww when presented with food they don't like instead of saying no thank you.

Either shut up and enjoy it for what it is or just shut up.

You hug-a-phobes have got all kinds of personal space issues.

I prefer to think of it as having personal space.
Calli, in Bitches (honestly, where else?):
Trudy, if they're smoking during sex, they need more lube.
In Music:
Fred Pete: My favorite bit of rock musician-education trivia is that Mick Jagger studied at the London School of Economics.
Corwood Industries: Which of course led to their famous lyric "but what can a poor boy do?/except analyze the deadweight loss when the supply curve modulates downward following the marginal rate of change in the futures market?"
Laga, in Bitches:
D: you're not wrapping a present for the cat, are you?
Me: Not only am I wrapping a present for the cat, but I've been waiting all day for her to go outside so it would be a surprise. And now I'm putting her name on the tag.

- I love the Ryan stories. We don't get nearly enough of them (it's almost as if you're off spending your time actually interacting with him or something).

Actually, I've constructed a hide in his playpen so I can observe him in his natural habitat. To date, he seems to have accepted that giant stuffed pandas are just supposed to have binoculars protruding from their midriff, but I can say that the hides used for the Attenborough specials don't run such a risk of cuddles.
Miracleman -
...the wild Ryan, in its natural surroundings, is truly breathtaking to behold. Note the total confidence, the unconcerned manner in which it lolls on its bwankie. This creature is totally in command of its environment.
...Jim is now going to try to get a little closer to the Ryan. Go ahead, Jim. Jim, just go. Go! Jim is creeping closer to the Ryan. We are confident that, though the Ryan can be dangerous, Jim is entirely protected by his fwuffy teddy beaw camouflage.
That's it, Jim. That's...oh, God. Oh, GOD! JIM! Look out! Oh, Lord, it's got him! It's...oh, it's too horrible...it's SNUGGLING Jim, it's...I can't look...
...Oh, the drool! THE DROOL! OH, GOD!
We'll return to Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom after these messages...
