Congrats to him! I think there's always a community cheer when someone lands a job these days.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Skipping once-sigh-more because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Deena's birthday.
Happy birthday, Deena! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Ooh, we played zoom Schwartz profigliano (and his good friend gambrizi)
We did not know of gambrizi; instead it was Zoom Schwartz Profigliano with an occasional appearance by Buderman.
My favorite drinking game was Thumper.

Happy birthday, Deena!
I've played Marco Polo (badly--being deaf in one ear is hard on directional hearing) and the occasional I Never. But Zoon Schwartz Profigliano is new to me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dear god, you have to count and multiply while drunk?! I would not survive the game.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We had a sort of similar game called Whales Tales. I guess Whales' Tales, technically. It was about calling people out by number, relative to you.

Kat, glad the new nurse is working out so well--I'm curious, since you were betting on it--what did his ethnicity end up being?
Meara, as expected, Filipino.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
It was "I never" for us, too. I've seen "Never have I ever" which has a nice ring to it, but wasn't what we said.
We called it both of those. My favorite drinking game was Viking, no contest. And I once used it in Moldova to get kids drinking water at a summer camp. They LOVED it.

So, for hours last night when I should have been falling asleep, all I could think about was work. Now I'm at work, and all I can think about is why wasn't Sugar Pie DeSanto in the movie Cadillac Records? She and Etta James were in a gang together, and then sang a couple of duets on Chess. (As I learned this morning listening to Fresh Air from last week...)
