setting: earlier, at WRFR.

cast: abigail_m, poeticdream, and yours truly, riffraff.

[Abby produces a chocolate, by sleight of hand or magic, we're not sure which]

Robin, incredulously: "Abby, where'd you get chocolate from?"

Abby, triumphantly: "From my pocket!"

Robin: ...

Kim: *sputters and hyperventilates, laughing out of control*

Abby: "Take a deep breath..."

Robin: ...
Kim: ... *takes a deep breath*

earlier:

me: "ready for dinner?"
abigail_m: "noooo....."
me: "why not? aren't you hungry?"
abby: "i am, but... I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER dot com" *grin*
me: ...

(as relayed by poeticdream)

abigail_m, after hearing a weather report on MPBN: "he said thunderstorms! he said thunderstorms! that makes me happy! that makes me so happy!!"

me: "ahh." *sits on the couch*
robin: "hey, i just cleaned that off so i could sit there. don't be a mofo!"
abby: "yeah daddy, don't be a mofo!"

ha ha ha ha ha. ow.

remember, everybody: it's banned books week, so be sure to ban a book about book burning now, mmkay?

screw cell phones, i'll just get a portable rotary phone.

if i get the red version then it can't possibly be my fault if i get pulled over for answering my phone while i'm driving—can't you see it's a red phone, officer? it must be an emergency!

so last night poeticdream and i were hanging out in the office doing computery things when randomly the printer spit out a page. we looked at each other, said "that's odd." and forgot about it. this morning Robin looked at the page that it printed. what did it say? simply:

OY

just now whilst at second read with poeticdream and i, abigail_m picked out a book. the title: Don't Tell the Grownups!

edit: sounds like a good book, actually, so i bought it.

for you Real Genius fans out there, i've found a preliminary script. it has some deviations from the movie, one of the funnier ones being that the encounter between Chris Knight (Chris Kinsley in the preliminary script) and Sherry Nugil happens in a satellite dish with Chris talking "smart" to her:

ANGLE ON CHRIS AND SHERRY
They are lying in the middle of the dish. Passion mounts,
fingers cope with belts and buttons, clothing falls away;
my god, these people are having sex.

            SHERRY
    Please I need it. What was your favorite course?
            CHRIS
    I guess right now I'd have to say Fluid Mechanics.
            SHERRY
    Oooooooooh...
            CHRIS
        (responding to something interesting Sherry
        just did with her hips)
    And Gym.
            SHERRY
    Please.
            CHRIS
    Sorry.

so go check it out, moles and trolls.

ABC News: Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter

my favorite part of the article is near the end:

i guess it's like the draft? sometimes your number just comes up to get birdshot in the face.

if only it had been a fatal shot and cheney had been charged with manslaughter.

so, sidney is not the only one who sticks her head in boxes that are too small!

btw, note_to_cat is a lot of fun.
