I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, Scrappy. That's terrible.

No leeching off the company wifi.

This one.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This company follows a strict policy of union-busting.

Wow, how horrible Scrappy, it could have been so much worse.

Sad about Bacall. To Have and Have Not was one hell of a movie debut.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

No leeching off the company wifi.

Yes, that is what I was looking for! Genius.

You guys, there is a person at my office who I've never spoken with, but thought was a woman. Apparently, he is a man! This is some real Pat-level shit. I thought his name was a woman's name, and he is totally androgynous, physically. People in the world! Confusing.

Our wings are not tired.

I am sure I never could have pulled off an androgynous look. Even more sure that DH couldn't manage it. There are only a few people that I have met that could do so well.

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

These are always fun:

The 2014 winner has been crowned in the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, in which writers compete to construct the worst opening line for a novel.

2014 Contest Winners ยป The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest

The runner-up for crime fiction might be my favorite:

Hard-boiled private eye Smith Calloway had a sinking feeling as he walked into the chaotic crime scene, for there, as expected, was the body dressed in a monk's habit; there was the stuffed cream-colored pony next to the crisp apple strudel; there was the doorbell, the set of sleigh bells, and even the schnitzel with noodles - all proclaiming that the Von Trappist Killer had struck again.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

all proclaiming that the Von Trappist Killer had struck again.

Now there's a killer with real dedication to his theme.

No steaming up the company cubicles.

I think this one's my favorite.

Hah--Jesse, that reminds me of a friend of mine also named Jesse, who apparently confounded some coworkers when marrying his partner Jamie--she's a girl, but they were apparently unsure, with the gender neutral names, whether he was gay or not. I guess this had already been confusion and then the wedding (after gay marriage was allowed) didn't help, he got some weirdly phrased congrats, he said!

Yay Aimee!!!!! Woohoo!!!
