From email the last few days (I need a pickmeup):

“You’re wierd, Patrick. But that’s what makes you so wonderful . . . more good than bad.”

“y’all need eachother.”

Right now I’d take “no, x person is uglier than you.”

Mostly because I hate to see this thread die, and also Mostly because I need to share:

I’m the aggressor in this situation! – George  
To what? Small children? Under three? Small animals? Without claws? – Whit  
Pastries? – Suz  
Right. “I hunt pastries for a living!” – George  
At least you could catch them. – Suz

She’s got . . . what is it? Necrophilia. – Whit’s mom, about Whit, meaning narcolepsy  
No!!! That’s copulation with a corpse! – Whit

At least Scottish doesn’t require messy cleaning up. – George, given the option of sex, puke, or Scottish (as roommate qualities)

Why a midget on a stick? – Suz  
Would you put a full sized person on a stick? – George  
(it was an elaborate metaphor for chemical bonds. I think.)

Don’t make me come over there and castrate you with a fork! – Suz, to Denver  
That’s NOT your G-spot. – Steve

Have you ever worn pantyhose? – George  
No. – Eric  
Well, I beat you there. – George

See George, this is why you should keep neat things in your pocket. Lots of women randomly handle them. – Eric (he was talking about his pen, over which Whit and I were oohing and ahing . . .)

Slip and Score!!! – Heather  
If only it were that easy . . . – Steve  
(it was a pottery conversation! or it started that way, anyway . . . )

“I like sexual harassment. It makes me feel pretty.” - Juniper200!

“We all have shitty days. Some of us just have them closer together.” - Laura, my company leader.

“EVERYTHING’S better in France… oh, except hamburgers.” - my boyfriend (who grew up there).

…and from my three-year-old cousin (this isn’t exactly “from a friend”, but this is too damn cute):

Bedtime.

Lizzie’s mom: Lizzie, let’s say a prayer for the poor people.

Lizzie: Why are they poor, mommy?

Mom: Well, because they don’t have any money.

Lizzie: Then why don’t they get JOBS?

🙂

We were annoying middle schoolers today and one decided to tell Tasha that she was going to “Pop a can in her ass.” And has anyone noticed that little people’s only comeback is “shut up”?

From my three-year-old foster sister, walking out of the kitchen (where we’d just finished baking chocolate chip cookies, and I’d told her not to eat any) with chocolate on her face:

Me: Stephanie, did you eat a cookie?  
Stephanie: No. It fell in my mouth.

racinchikki…were you reading _Huis Clos_ by chance when your French teacher said, “It could be a chimney…”??

My favorite quotes…hrm…

My friend Jenny, on Venetian transportation: You know, I was just looking around for cars…and then I realized - OHHHH! That’s why there are no cars in Venice.

My suitemate Aleah on the dining hall’s breakfasts: They need to make different FOODS, not the same food in different SHAPES.

Sarah L.: Your mom was here?? Did she bring cookies??  
Me: Well, yeah.  
Sarah L.: Woo-HOO! So where are the no-bakes?  
Me: There aren’t any.  
Sarah L.: WHAAAT?? Linz! That is so not cool! But tell your mom to send some to 208 and we’ll love her forever.

Jerome: We could order pizza from somewhere other than Papa John’s, but how could we…guarantee the goodness?

From a somewhat dramatic friend, realizing his tendancies…  
“I am like a lion tamer in a cage full of kittens.”

Commenting on the pants on a guy on the bus…  
(what I said)  
“Any tighter and he’ll have an accident.”  
(what my friend heard)  
“Any tighter and he’ll have an accent.”

There are more, when I think of them.

Said by a French teacher at my high school (I wasn’t there personally, but this did make it into the year book):

“Look at me my little cabbages! Give yourselves a thrill!”
