"nuked the fridge"
Maybe it has something to do with the most recent Indiana Jones movie?
Yes, it started showing up not long after the movie came out. Here's a posting from June, 2008: [link]
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?
Lilah ,'Destiny'

I predict that rightfully, 'nuked the fridge' will be replaced by 'hit the White House with a tidal wave AND an aircraft carrier.'

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm gonna stick with "jumped the shark" methinks. The WX poster says she got chewed out for JTS usage, which is just pissy.

Skipping on the computer of one of my roommates (my own computer stopped talking to the internet. I guess that after I didn't have any voice to speak of, or with, for a week, my virus somehow got passed along to my computer. They should study us in labs! Which have internet access, of course. Um, where was I? Oh, yeah).
So, since I'm not sure I'm going to be able to monopolize my roommate's room on time tomorrow, I'll post a day early that, according to the Buffista Calendar, tomorrow, the 25th, will be vw bug's birthday, and send her lots of early wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
[Edited to wave to the new thread. If a thread gets 30k posts, then even the five-hundreds are still considered a sorta low number, right?]

Neither is as good as "run from the killer frost" however.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's Friday. How awesome is that?

How awesome is that?
Pretty awesome, especially since I get off at noon today. (I have social plans with MWu and Spencer this weekend, Perkins.)

I have word from sara. She is not dead. She is having a wonderful time on her trip and has been able to balance time with parents and time away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am off work, which is awesome, but paying the price for denying the new truth that I can still stay up late at night, but I can apparently no longer sleep late in the morning. Booo.
