Hmmm....

Jessica plays a big, deep version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on the piano. Marck (singing loudly and terribly out of tune): "Mary had a gigantic lamb whose fleece was white as a....a....YETI or something...."

One day after swim team:

Matt: "You ahve a Reatta sweatshirt??"

Marck: "Yeah, I made it myself."

Me: "So you have heard about Marck's Reatta possession/obsession, Matt?"

Matt: "Yes, I have."

Rachel J: "What is Reatta?  Is that a brand of clothes?"

Randomly at a Radical Wednesday:

"For some weird reason I like fighting with people...I just....like it."  ~Matt

Recommended by my mother:

"At least I know there are people in this world who are more stupid than me."  ~Jessica (moi).

A lot from Marck and a little from Matt...

While I was getting my various morning vitamins out of their containers...

Marck:  "Can you get me an oregano oil capsule while you are getting one?"

Me:  "No, get one yourself."

Marck:  "But - but - but - but -but -but -but - but - rear end - but - but - but....."

As we were all trying to get down from the H's tree house:

Matt:  "Don't insult me when I'm on a swinging ladder!"

Marck was doing his Bible study while I was sorting laundry...

Marck (reading from the study text):  "What is your first impression of Saul?" (to himself):  "Hm.....Saul....Paul...."

Me:  "What book are you reading?"

Marck:  "First Samuel."

Me:  "That isn't the same Saul that becomes Paul, you know."

Marck:  "It isn't?  You mean there are two Sauls in the Bible and I don't know anybody named Saul???"

Me:  "Well, yeah."

Marck:  "I am going to name one of my kids Saul.  And another one Paul.  And when I have a girl I will name her Mall because that is her favorite place to go.  I have a fat kid and name him Ball because he will be round like one.  Then there will be Tall because he is tall.  I'll have two clumsy kids and name one Fall and the other Wall because he'll be like you and always be running into things.  And the baby's name will be Small."

It's Hip to be Random...

While watching the fireworks on the last day of the fair: “Don’t you think it would be neat if, when you die, you were cremated and made into a firework? Then you could be shot off at your funeral!” --Scott

After Marck accused me of lying to him and I told him I had just told him half of the truth, Nathan J says, “She’s been telling half the truth twice as long as she says she has.”

Mr. B. (Elizabeth and Michelle’s dad) was reading some news off the internet, including a bit about Starbucks’ profits falling 93%, and NASA had lost contact with Mars. Suddenly Sam exclaimed, “Starbucks is losing money because NASA lost communication with Mars, and Mars is where Starbucks gets all their recipies!”

Robert had taken a black marker and begun to draw a moustache on the woman on the cover of the JCPenny calalogue.
Jessica: “Well, she was pretty before.”
Marck: “And not now?”
Jessica: “Marck…are you attracted to women with facial hair?”
Marck: “Well…Aunt Ruth is my girlfriend.”

Robert’s budding comedian-isms:
Robert: “Ask me how I file my nails.”
Jessica: “Okay, how do you file your nails?”
Robert: “Under ‘N’.”

Just one of those interesting conversations:
Matt: “Yeah, fettuccine does sound good right about now.”
Jessica: “I just made some.”
Matt: “E-mail me some, if you don't mind.”
Jessica: “Well, you’ll have to wait a bit. I’ll have to upload it and convert the format....you know how some noodles don't run well on Vista...”
Matt: “Wait, do you have the same problem with macaroni that I do?”
Jessica: “Yes, macaroni gives me a terribly hard time!”
Joel: “I have a bug…when I email pineapple upside-down cake, they receive it upside-right.”
Matt: “Does it still taste okay?”
Joel: “It tastes like it’s been in the microwave for, like, three hours.”
Jessica: “Hmm…maybe there’s a problem with your server. The worst has to be sushi, though…”
Matt: “I thought sushi was strictly Macintosh. Is there some sort of hack I should have known?”
Jessica: “No, I’ve never been able to upload sushi! That must be my problem. Where did you read that?”
Matt: “My uncle is a chef. He told me.”
Jessica: “Aha…has he ever tried mashed potatoes? I’m afraid to.”
Matt: “Hundreds of times. He says the trick is to not move the bar until the progress bar is 100% completed…”

Unwritten...

Something is going on here...


"'You can always tell a man by his spelling.' - Quote that Matt just made up." --Matt, aka The Mattrix

"'Joel, get a grip, Halloween is over.' - My never-said quote. DON'T QUOTE." --Joel H.

Well, I just quoted Joel. I guess I'll become known for quoting things that shouldn't be quoted.....*thinks back on the 10-years-Beowulf-paper-date quote*

Time is running out.....

I finally have a quote! *Disco Party*

I was up moving boxes into an attic with a friend. There was no ventilation, and the attic was freshly painted, and filled with noxious, toxic, choking vapors. I finally said in exasperation: "I feel as if with every breath, my life is getting shorter!" Then I said, as I realized: "Wait. That's what is happening." It's just funny to think about it that way...
