"Dude, 'sup?"
This appeals to my overly developed sense of the absurd.
Of course, I am extremely tired at the moment, but I think even if I were fully rested, it would still appeal to my overly developed sense of the absurd.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's a good one.

not your mom's socks.
Vortex, are you thinking of taking the person to coffee/ lunch? Sometimes, I've specified that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
They rearranged our mailboxes in the mailroom at work, since some people left and we got some new people, and the boxes are supposed to be in alphabetical order. Mine got shifted to the top row of boxes, where I can't reach it. I had to go to the office and ask for it to be moved. This ended up being rather less embarrassing than I'd expected it to be, but still. And they're moving my box to the end of the cubby thing, so it'll be out of alphabetical order and all my students will complain that they can't find it.

Gah! I hate subject lines. I know that some people just skim over the ones that they don't think are important, so I almost think that it's better to not have one at all.

so I almost think that it's better to not have one at all.
Eh, I'd rather see almost any subject line than not have one. If I see a blank subject line, I assume it's probably spam.

Yay for successful navigation of the airport!
As long as we're all commented on Vortex's note, I'll add that I wouldn't start with being laid off. I'd start with something like "Can we find a time to meet for lunch or coffee? I'd like to pick your brains about career opportunities in legal education. I'm buying."

I wouldn't focus on the need aspect either.
