Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That's exactly what it sounds like.

"There's a clue in the language of origin, if she can pick it up. That U-R combination is unique to Latin."

"Oh, the schwa can be really challenging. And in Italian, you've got to be careful with those double consonants."

A sixth-grader just got up to the mic and said "I'm going to need you to give me a word I know."

Instead of writing on their hands, some kids now air-type as they spell.

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

Aw. Bless.

gaping at this house which is 5200 square feet. Even with four bedrooms, where the hell do they use up all of that space? Is there an indoor tennis court?

I could easily use that space. Guest room, enormous library, and AN ENTIRE ROOM FOR MY WARDROBE.

Mind you, in my fantasy world where we would have such a house, we would also have housekeeping & gardening services.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I could fill it. A huge library, a big room just for ltc's toys. My own bathroom and a huge kitchen with two ovens for parties. Of course, I wouldn't want to clean it.

An essential for every housing fantasy. And if I could afford all that, they would be SUCH WELL-PAID HOUSEKEEPERS AND GARDENERS!

I can just imagine roller skating from room to room.

Apropos of nothing, I am kind of sad that my vacation bruises (I slipped twice on our first hike (in the rain, on a boardwalk), the first time landed flat on my back and banged my head and alarmed the people behind me quite a bit,and the second caught myself on stairs and got some glorious bruises) are pretty much gone.
