Coupling (UK) was the sitcom that helped me remember sitcoms were funny in the dry period between...Frasier, maybe, and whatever I liked next. But for a while there, I was getting snobby and snotty, and then I'd remember that all the way up until Jeff left kept me really consistently doubled over in half-hour hysterics.
Mighty fine shindig.

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

Sine qua non was the bullshit snobby term of the weekend with me and my parents (referring to my sister's speechwriting indiscretion). As a result of making sure we were defining it correctly, I found out that the "proper" plural is sine quibus non, which I urge everyone to run out and use as much as possible.
Slow and steady wins the race...

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

My friends just named their new baby girl Jinx. Unexpected but kind of charming.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, Sue!

Jinx as a name is kind of cute and flirty. But I predict that her nickname in elementary school will be Pickle Juice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why??
Speaking of names, there's a new person at my job named Tucker, and I realize I don't actually think of that as a grown up's name. Huh.

It was my mother's cat's name.
I once temped in an office where the chief executive's name was Tiger. Before Tiger Woods. I could not take the whole place seriously once I knew that.
