Hey, Bon, I've been meaning to ask how the budget cuts have been effecting Bob bob.... is he doing okay?
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The closest my family comes to another language for hidden expression is teaching the kids to swear in patois so they wouldn't get in trouble in American society.
A couple cousins married Swedes, and one's daughter is being raised by the Swedish father. So we're acquiring language.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It totally is Kat. Most of the fairy tales are quite brutal. They make Franny cry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
WTF? You married a Greek philosopher?! Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Bob Bob?

Half Greek. I guess he's also the natural heir to Spinoza and Berkeley? Kat, I think we'll be fine (if poorer), although next year he may have to go 4/4.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
My one regret is that I never tried E.
One of two Schedule 1 drugs I have tried. This makes me practically a goody two-shoes in my local community.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Of all recreational drugs that are illegal for any age group, I've occasionally had a drink. Never been over the limit either. Dance me with seven of your friends, for truly I am a square.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My high school was more about alcohol than drugs. I was too straight-edge for any of it (see also: had no real friends!) but the big thing I remember people doing was sneaking Zima into sports events by pouring it into plastic seltzer bottles. Yes, we were that preppy.

I love coming in to discover a serious bug in the software.
OK, time for a meeting now. Joy.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Poll time - now that we're all familiar with whip-its, did *anyone* call them "ethyl cans" back in HS? (is convinced Cory Branan made it up)
I never did whip-its, but I certainly knew of them. Alcohol and pot were the drugs of choice at my HS, AFAIK. I've had E once, and it was lovely, except for the part where I totally overheated, was instantly drenched in sweat (feet slipping in shoes sweaty), and nearly got sick. But that was only about a half hour of the whole night, and even the next day I had a sort of lovely afterglow. Dancing while on E is really that awesome, and that's from somebody gets high on dancing anyway.
