What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's the classic group-formation outline.

Yeah, I've heard it too.

Happy birthday, msbelle.

I'm sorry, Matt.

Compassionately intolerant

That's the classic group-formation outline.

The FSNP model was a long-term classic back in the day when I got my OD degree. Nice to see it still in play in a world of 'flavor of the week' models.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Can someone please get these guys to stop having this iPhone/Microsoft argument by my cube? It's loud, stupid, involves the self-laugher and they follow everything they say with "right" said like a question, but not meant as one.

Oh lord, now Jay Leno has been entered into the argument.

Microsoft has a phone? Well, I'm sure they have phones at the Microsoft offices, I mean a product that's a phone.

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

In play since 1965, with the addition of "Adjourning" during the 70s.

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

Happy birthday, msbelle!

Treat yourself to...BK. Or something.

Sophia's boss needs the choke-chain of corrective experience.

Self-laugher should get away from Daisy.

Teamwork dynamics makes me think: "Just because it rhymes doesn't mean it's true."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's basically a version of the Apple/Microsoft argument.

It makes me @@, because I hate "My choice of consumer product is morally and intellectually superior to yours!" conversations.

I use both. If I were still doing layouts, I'd be on my Mac. The billion and five spreadsheets I'm dealing with right now? I would throw my Macbook out the window and run screaming for the ThinkPad.

I think I prefer my iPod to the Zune, but I haven't used the other. And, I like my Cliq better than the current iPhone.

Go ahead and judge me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

choke-chain of corrective experience

Nice phrasing.

Speaking of phrasing, Hec, thought you might enjoy another colloquialism I heard recently: The rain was "coming down like piss out of a boot." Speaker is Georgia native (not sure what part) in his 50s.

And, I like my Cliq better than the current iPhone.

I always do a double take when I see the Cliq written down.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
