Quote of the Week From My Life.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life.

 

From my kickoff for our Purim broadcast. About the Western Wall:

 

"Mr. Netenyahu - tear down that wall!"

 

Linkage: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Radio/Player.htm#2#506

 

It runs about 16 minutes with the last four being "Magic Carpet Ride." Its probably utterly irrelevant to the vast majority of you. If you do listen, sometimes it plays in firefox and sometimes it doesn't. If not, use IE. I've been on our programmer's case about it. And yes, I use a lot of poetic metaphor, especially early on. So be warned.

Me : Actually, curling was invented in Scotland

Purrdence : Alcohol must have been involved

Me : "We're drunk, it's winter, and we're bored. Wut de ye wanna do? We've got a rock and a broom."

Purrdence : And then there's golf.

Me : "Wut de wanna ye do? We've got a rock and a stick. It used to be a broom but we broke the end off curling."

A gal in Accounting named Brandi has been having some issues at work with a particular piece of software known as JD Edwards, and getting it fixed has been taking up about 80% of my time for the past few days. At a meeting this morning, my boss asked me what my accomplishments for the week have been...

 

Me: My life, my love, and my lady is JDE. :straight:

At the theater with Purrdence and several dozen of her students

 

Me
: I realise that Macbeth is a traditionally unlucky play, but having three live peacocks roosting around the stage is just asking for trouble

 

According to a friend that works with the troupe

 

"There's usually 7. In the past we have beaten them into submission, aurally speaking, with Satriani's Surfing with the Aliens. ... During a Matinee of
Hamlet
, one of the males landed on the stage and honked every time Claudius said a line."

Me: cursing the inabilities of other road users.

 

Finn (aged 4) from the back: Why are you the only person in the city who can drive properly, Daddy?

 

Me: I wonder that myself sometimes, Son.

 

"I find there are lot of people on the road today who don't know how to drive. I call these people 'Everyone but Me.'"

Wife: Hopefully they didn't close the post office nearby, like they do everything else.

Me: No, Post Office's aren't dictated by in-state dumb.

Wife: Just out of state?

Me: Yes.

 

20 minutes later after I drop her off for a doctor's appointment.

 

Me Texting Her: It's still here. But only open from 1030AM to 1230PM.

Her Texting Back: Out-of-state-dumb.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life.

 

I came across this statement I wrote several years ago.

 

Lucius:

As far as something like this is concerned, it is quite possible to spend lots of money and get very, very poor results. It is much harder to spend very little money and get really great results. You may not get what you pay for; you will probably have to pay for what you get.

 

Paying ten thousand dollars for a car doesn't guarantee you will get a car worth ten thousand dollars; but paying only a thousand dollars for a car just about guarantees that you WON'T get a car worth ten thousand dollars.

 

Lucius Alexander

 

The palindromedary notes that Lucius has always been annoyed at people who talk about "throwing money at a problem" especially if they don't have a solution that miraculously involves not spending any money

"Look, Daddy! My poops are as long as two fire trucks!"

 

"Uh huh. Wow. That's a lot of poop, kid."

 

*grunt* "Look, now they're as long as three fire trucks!"

 

"You don't say."

 

"I have four more poops left, Daddy. Maybe five."

 

"Should I get you a Twitter account?"

 

"What's a Twitter?"

 

"I'm sure you'll figure that out before I do."

Infant toilet training story, spoilered for those with sensitive stomachs

 

 

Not really that bad, though.

 

When my daughter was transitioning to the toilet from her little potty, she sometimes had rather epic bowel movements barely contained by the little potty that showed that it really was time to graduate to a full sized toilet. After being surprised by one of the first such displays, I exclaimed, "Holy Cow!" After this, she would proudly announce whenever she had "Holy Cow Poops!" Especially hilarious when she would use this term at daycare. :)
