I'm not sure I can muster Chicago enthusiasm right now. I'm going so stir-crazy with this snow
Hey, we're not having a Snowpocalypse.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Once, years ago, the cleaners threw out a large FedEx box full of about 20 unopened - clearly visibly unopened - manila folders that I had sitting beside my desk. They were manuscripts, back when we still used "paper". I didn't discover this until the next afternoon because my assistant was supposed to have picked it up; I assumed he had, and he assumed I'd given it to someone else. By the time we realized the true horror of the situation, the garbage trucks had come and taken it all away. After that, my boss had a bunch of big red and green stickers made up that said, in three languages, "This is trash"/"This is not trash!" and AFAIK people in the office are still required to use them on anything that looks even vaguely like trash.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
University closed tomorrow. And, since we're supposed to be getting a bunch more snow tomorrow afternoon, I'm guessing we'll be closed Wednesday, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wired says this electric car is ugly. I think it's moderately cute: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think it's cute, too. It looks like a Hot Wheels car all grown up.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

A great many TV themes: [link]
Some are stream-only, some are mp3s.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I like the EV, too!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We have to clearly mark things "TRASH" or the cleaning staff won't touch them. We usually remember to tell new hires this when we see three or four clearly used & discarded Fedex boxes stacked outside their cube.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That seems like a good policy to me -- assuming you have trash containers that also get emptied.

Boxes and stuff have to be clearly marked trash before the cleaning staff will touch them, but they do grab the empty coke cans and coffee cups every so often.
