The Epic-ness of Us *Updated*
I just spent a few hours dancing, eating lunch, and chatting with a very pleasant friend of mine.
The topics of conversation were varied. Some of the discussions were about:
- super-gluing and bleaching spiders
- the dangerous, upsetting nature of food
- "Hate is a strong word, but I really, really, really don't like you..."
- the 411 on how to deny stress
- the murderous nature of hot water to some hard-backed creatures- but Asians love it
- french-kissing an ant
- "too many midgets"
- eating tomatoes like apples
- you can't have a fly for a pet
- Psych is the West Coast of tv shows
- "I feel like AJ right now!"
- Ooh, that one! I hate that one!
- But why orange? Orange isn't a color. It compliments, only.
- "I told him you're fine with it."
"With what?"
"Going to Wal-Mart before dancing."
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine with that."
"... Thank you for re-affirming what I already said." - 'We beat Stephen' *cue sing-song voice and funky, victory dance*
- Who's that dancing with the banana?
- Go AJ!
- "What do you think of this one?"
"Actually, I think I hate it." - Watching open is like watching a bunch of Skittles dance."
- He's more twisty than a pretzel!
- *Aaaaye don't liiiike o-ran-ge-ehs*
- Powerade tastes like laxative.
- That's rude!
- I like that couple, because they're married, and that's nifty.
- ... I would like it. And it would probably end with them sucking on my toes.
- ... Excuse me sir, you have a banana.
- What if you were stuck in the sewer and couldn't get out? - I would have myself a tasty soup.
- What if we all had 6 toes growing from our elbows? - We would all look like old grandpas.
- What if Jimmer was a golfer instead? - I would move in with your mom instead.
- ...Geico would save you 15% or more in car insurance.
- What if there was an earthquake and you were stuck with JB and he made a move on you? - I would take a bite out of them!
- ... I would like it... then, maybe not.
- What if the hills were alive with the sound of "Friday, Friday." - We would burn them down.
- "I wasn't chewing them up... I was just sucking on them for a bit."
- "Oh, my giant blue head!"
- "Oh, yeah that's funny. That random 'she' friend was ME."
- But I'm still reliable!
- Hmm, pudding... yeah, I'm thirsty.
- What gain comes from stomping on slugs?
- Hey man look at my new dog! - Oh yeah, that's pretty cool- Aaaah! There's no dog there. Oooohhhh - Aaaahhh...
- There's something on your face? *punch* It was pain!
- *Camel laugh*
- Oh, they're gonna do that, but it didn't show it.
- And we thought; sad.
- "eeeeeeeeeeeeee"
- Hyperbole and a Half blog
- "Aaaahhh... "
"There is no __ there!" - *vacant stare* Oh, no. I was just noticing that Kimber's foot is basically massaging my breadsticks..."
- "James ?" -Argh! What?! What do you want from me?!
- "Admit it, I'm pretty bad."
"Well... I'll admit you're decently bad." - Gr-urk-ah-br-ngh-gasp-akgr-blgr...Brain freeze!
- Come on, French people can't lasso!
- Hey, why can't I be a stone pig with horns?
- Is that how they used to tell if someone was dead? Drown them?
- Her head is always tilted to the right.
It's because of the earring. - Aaaaaehhhhhh... dead? or sleeping...?
- "Bla, bla, Toms, bla, I'm awesome, bla bla, Toms, Toms, Bla."
"Well, I got these at Shopco for $3."
"..."
"Good." - They're like eating happiness. And the happiness is all gone!
- Well these have stupid, little pictures on them too, why not just get these?
- James, what is this? I feel like I'm being possessed!
- This just in - I'm Awesome!
- "Why are we friends?!"
"You're not my friend. You need me." - Homegirl totes cray-cray.
- *text chain* R: You're late. J: Lol. No i'm not... R: Well you arent here J: Yes i am... R: ... where? J: Umm...here of course R: >:P Let me know when you get to 278 then J: I'm already there...
- I have a village of muffins in my fridge.
- *both simultaneously out of several minutes of silence* doo doooo, doo doooo, doo doo doooo doooo...
- Crunchy leaves are like steak...
- ...they probably outlaw it because ducky has too many brothers and sisters.
- mm^hmm.
- "Why do I always assume your father was eaten by that cat?"
"Ooh, that's no good!"
"It happens." - Suit up!
- Run forest run! This makes me nervous for you... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
- A large, noisy Brazilian with food smelling strongly of bbq has taken over our table.
The table is under attack by an army of dwarves. - "Are you dead?"
"Yes. But I'll be there in a sec." - No it's not- shut up.

Million Dollar Punctuation
Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy---will you let me be yours?

What the Digamma?
Polyphloisboisterous Homer of old
Threw all his augments into the sea,
Although he had often been courteously told
That perfect imperfects begin with an e.
But the poet replied with a dignified air,
"What the Digamma does any one care?"
- Schoder & Horrigan, A Reading Course in Homeric Greek II, 184
