Being home sick means that I'm watching a lot of Animal Planet, which means seeing the "We will prove that Sasquatch is real!" commercial approximately six thousand times.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Perhaps they're trying to attain consensual reality, Dana?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
A student just emailed me, half an hour before the final exam starts, to ask what room it's in.

Better than a half hour into it?

There's a whole season of a show called "Finding Bigfoot."
This is why I only watch Animal Planet during the day..

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Good call. "Because, you know, we're really not supposed to take personal calls during the work day...."
I had to draw a line with my sister, and explain that "you can call me any time" meant if it was an emergency, and not to discuss the finer points of laser hair removal (for real that convo happened at work). This was years ago, and she gets it now.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'll admit to doing similar things. Either I'm convinced something is in X room and discover I was wrong when I get there, or I'm sure I have the location written on something I'm taking with me, except when I get there, my note has disappeared.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The Man is responsible for so much nastiness. I say it's only fair to use him for a good excuse now and then. He can bear the extra guilt.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'll suggest he write stuff down to refer to when he calls me at home after work hours.
Does he text? That would be a good solution.
He does not text, and I kind of don't want him to learn.
Good call. "Because, you know, we're really not supposed to take personal calls during the work day...."
Well, he knows that we all got the smackdown a few years ago about personal calls; I think he remembers that in the back of his mind but then, like I said, something occurs to him ("Can you order a paper shredder for me on Amazon and have it sent to your brother by Christmas?") and he needs to ask/tell me about it right away, before he forgets. So I'll mention the idea of writing stuff down for later.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
but tonight thank god it's them, instead of you...
My favourite line of that song. Bono's delivery really stands out after the Paul Youngs/Boy Georges/George Michaels of the world.
