I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

"have you overheard anything?"

Well, word on the street is that HR is full of gossip mavens. What the hell kinda question is that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Iraq’s politics: an explosive chess game

That made me think - wouldn't an exploding chess game be cool? Like maybe if you move to the wrong square, your piece gets blown up. Perhaps you could combine chess and Minesweeper....

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My cubicle neighbors are so great. I was telling one of them about my sick day yesterday, and the other one came over with a few individual-serving soup containers to help me get better.

Back in January, the first one gave me S2 of Angel on dvd--she's a recent convert to Buffy and Angel, had picked up a two-pack that included a duplicate (for her) S2 and she knew I didn't have it yet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What the hell kinda question is that?

A "casting a wide net maybe somebody will fall into it" question. Also, tougher for the plausible deniability.

I swear, after watching all these detective interviews on video I'm convinced that people will implicate themselves or others at the slightest nudge.

I refer you to the first Harry Potter movie.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

How do you answer that?

"If I overheard anything, I didn't know to what it was in reference to?"

"Maybe?"

"I dunno."

"I have an ear infection."

"I never listen to anything at work!"

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

"That's what she said!"

"I didn't do it! Nobody saw me! You can't prove a thing!"
