ridiculous things I've said, out of context

...or: a new way to find posts you haven't read before! 
(updated/changed whenever I feel like it)

" ...I have to admit, I was a little bit sad for all the maiden names - I imagined them slipping into obscurity, falling out of family trees like overripe fruit, the ontologically diverse United States succumbing to a peaceful takeover by Smiths, Johnsons, and Millers." -- from Schmoogle


"...I replied, like the angel of goodness that I am, that she could have been much more helpful to us five minutes earlier.  Well, as you can imagine, this comment lit her up like a Christmas tree.  A big, mean, three-toothed Christmas tree with a TSA badge for an ornament." --from Last Week: A Sharone Retrospective, Day 7


"...one day, I will have infinite leisure hours to read the books I want, research to my greedy little heart's content, and then have a veritable orgy of thinking and analyzing and geekdreaming before I have to do anything so terribly sordid as write my ideas down. Well, so this is more like a utopian hallucination than a dream, really.
Wow, did anyone else notice that my wildest dreams involve research?" --from I have a dream...


"I ate a Haagen-Dazs ice cream bar while waiting in the drive-through at McDonalds. True story. " --from well hello


"When Pete Carroll formally announced his resignation, even though I had been expecting it for days, I cried. For like an hour. Which just goes to show you that you can never educate yourself beyond the ability to act like a total idiot over a football team." --from Hi friendsies


"I love old movies, but sometimes I find myself watching them thinking, no way this movie would work today. They would just do a DNA test or look at the surveillance camera footage or put Joan Crawford on mood stabilizers and this whole thing would have been over an hour ago." --from This is serious, people


"I've been walking around my office all morning with my cup of tea, grinning at everything. If I were a cartoon, my eyes would be exclamation points." --from finishing, up


"Sometimes I wonder if WebMD is even listening to me." --from In which I make embarrassing confessions, listen to the Bosstones, and become waterproof


"I gave Spenser a mental high five for keeping the Middle English alive. And then I gave him a mental beatdown for writing 522 lines about a RIVER WEDDING." --from My lists begin to converge!


"So basically what we can tell from these photos is that grad school so far has taken two years of my life and about eight inches of my hair.  Probably by the time I get the PhD I will be totally bald." --from Master of the Universe


"Number of times Mr. Mistoffelees has used the phrase "Knock, knock" instead of knocking on my (open) door: 2
Number of times I have wanted to punch Mr. Mistoffelees: 2" --from Stats


"I'm very disappointed in my immune system right now, what can I say?" --from boop, boop, boop


"What fool actually believes that butternut squash cut to look like French fries, battered in Egg Beaters and ground up fiber cereal with a little cinnamon and Splenda, and then baked, is actually going to live up to the promise of being INSANELY DELICIOUS with four exclamation points? Yes, that's me raising my hand." --from a timely re-post
