Happy Birthday Hec!
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday David!!!!

I need a beer helmet, only with two 20 oz. coffees and a muffin holder.

And a pole dangling a slice of bacon just out of arms reach.

Thanks all. So far my birthday involves coffee. I declare it a success!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Print it, mark up with red pen, send them scan of the corrections and ask them to re-submit with edits?
Alright, too bitchy -- but hella fun.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I also think it means I am old, but I still don't like telephone conversations staring "OK-- can you tell me about your class?".
I get "I need information about y'all's program?" or "I need to know about the class." What's worse is that I know some of them were referred by people who know about the program and the classes, but they just handed people a number and said "You need to call them." Without explaining anything.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
This I might be able to use "for reals"! I keep thinking that "kids today" need lessons on how use both the telephone and email in a business-like manner.
GAWD, yes! We've had the whole first name issue. It's hard because it's easy to give the smackdown to students who are rude, but it's tricky when the student means well, or you've developed a relationship with the student.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It sounds like people will soon be able to book a flight on a private spacecraft to the moon. It would be a modified Soyuz spacecraft that would not go into lunar orbit but would "slingshot" around the moon to head back to Earth.
Only about $100 million. (A space-tourist flight to Earth orbit is about $20-$25 million.) Apparently the first flight is already booked.
edit for clarity

I get "I need information about y'all's program?" or "I need to know about the class."
I don't know about you, but I have 62 classes that I could tell them about! I work at an educational institution-- it stands to reason we don't just have one class, and I am not clairvoyent. How about- "Hi, my name is __________. I saw your cardiac nursing class on-line and would like more information on the curriculum/how to register/when is the next one, etc, etc, etc"
