Early ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Tim and I use a mishmash of Buffyverse/Blue Beetle/LOLcats, and, lately, Big Bang Theory. (I also apparently got him saying "I'm the goddamned Batman," though he's never read the freaky comic from which it originated.)
I think I quote The Simpsons a lot without even thinking about it, that's how subsumed that show is in my brain.
and never go up against a Sicilian when DEATH IS ON THE LINE!"
Though as it turns out, you can outwit a Sicilian when death is on the line.
since whining earlier, I have applied for 2 jobs! WHOOT!
Nice reversal on the whingeing, msbelle.
msbelle, I forgot to comment on something you posted earlier -- games on your iPod Touch will suck away ALL YOUR FREE TIME.
For instance, there is a Skeeball app that is MADE OF AWESOME. And has sucked away all my free time.
Until I downloaded Bejeweled.
Jon and I will often riff on some version of this: "You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
Steph, Jon and I use "bazinga" a lot, and while I don't use "I'm the goddamned Batman" a small few of us will say something along the lines of "HOLY GOD I LOVE [insert activity] IT IS FANTASTIC YOU MUST TRY IT!"
My quotes generally come from either Caddyshack, This is Spinal Tap, Princess Bride, or Monty Python with random bits of Joss Whedon thrown in.
Until I downloaded Bejeweled.
Uh-oh. I used to love Bejeweled on my, um, what was that thing called? PDA! Now that I know it's available for the iPod touch, I am doomed.
I also might check out this "Angry Birds" thing the kids are into....
What, no "My plan is elegant in its simplicity"?
Daniel frequently responds to my requests with, "As you wish."
"It could be worse, it could be raining," has been used by Daniel, his cousin Steve, and myself on at least one occasion.
Way to go, msbelle!
So our plans for the weekend might involve buying a new-to-us car. I'm excited, and also a little nervous because we want to try to bargain a bit on the price (right now it's a little over $10K, we'd like to get it at $10K or a bit less) but neither of us has ever done that when buying a car. What if we suck at it? What if the seller hates us or ends up selling it to us for $20K instead???
