About the ongoing growth of the English language:
Steph L.: I went to a Shakespalin place, too.
ita: Currently I can't get to google.com. It's blocked on "sex" grounds. Halloo?
Burrell: Maybe you misspelled it "goolie"?
Nattery goodness:
Kat: Wondering what to do with your placenta? Howabout making a cuddly teddy bear out of it? Or, artwork. or print a tshirt. [link]
Aims: SHE MADE A BEAR?!?!? UNDO IT!! UNDO IT!!
Calli: My parents planted trees for my sister and me, but I don't think placentas were involved. Just blue spruce. I don't hate the thought of burying a placenta--you can compost just about anything organic. But it seems like one more thing to keep track of for a new parent. What with feeding and diapering and juggling helpful (or "helpful") relatives, who wants to bother tracking down a shovel and a sapling?
Sophia Brooks: I just have to say this because I cannot yell at my cow-orker-- Punk existed in the 70's!!!!!!!!!
Tom Scola: It was all steam-powered way back then, but yeah.
billytea: Wait, that was steampunk? No wonder I find musical culture so confusing.
It does at least explain the Sex Pistols' album, "Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Velocipedes".

Quote of the day: "'meetings' isn't exactly the word I'm looking for, but a regular iteration of when we get together to talk about things."
3 guesses as to the circumstances in which the above was uttered.
Jesse:
Was it in a semi-formalized work-driven discussion?
In Bitches, Trudy proposed George Clooney rentals:
showing up at your house in a tux after you've had a hard day and making you a pot of tea and listening to you bitch about your boss...
meara:
OMG, I would love this. Or I vote for the Old Spice Man clad in towel, making tea, listening to me bitch, and then saying crazy things about what we will do to my boss and how he will make me feel better.
Vortex:
See, a towel would be too much temptation.
meara:
Well, not for ME. :)
In Natter:
amych: I pretty much suspect that the only alarm that would actually work would be a Clocky. Or it could just end up dead in a distant corner of the room, with me curled up over its wee fragmented machine-body, still holding the sledgehammer, sound asleep and with no memory of ever having chased it down to destroy it.
Yes, I am confused by mornings and all that they contain.
