Collected Quotes

Trying to get out the door to Nuts4Ribs:

Newf: Do I need to shave? Do you think Theo should be in a sweater?

You realize this is a rib cook-off for manly men – not a fashion show for gay men and small dogs, right?

Newf: Well…maybe you should MAKE it a fashion show for gay men and small dogs.

Sigh.

To the girl standing awkwardly by my dogs at Nuts4Ribs:

You can pet them if you’d like. Start with the brown one, he’s less annoyed by strangers.

Girl: Um…actually I just thought this is where the line started.

Oh.

Girl: Yeah.

At my 80-year-old granddad’s house, surrounded by young, impressionable minds:

“Hey mooooom?”

Mom: “What?”

“Are maternity leaves mandatory no matter who your employer is?”

Mom: “Yes. Why?”

“I’m pregnant.”

Mom: “Just shut up…”

After a cheeky email from yours truly:

Mom: “You’re adopted. Really.”



A reminder of my performance in a drunk charades game from three years ago:

*Teammate points at me.*

Gay. Faggot. Homo. Fat. Asshole. Drunk.

Teammate: Um….how about BOY?

Oh.

Yeah.

Oh you know how to get me right in the soft spot. DOGS! :) Plus, you had me sold when you said you were a Gemini and had problems focusing on one passion! I am a Gemini too and have the exact same issues! :) I donated my gyro lunch and I’ll eat at home instead! :)

Sigh, I already shoveled a banana chocolate chip muffin and coffee into my face, but I have muffin mix and a coffee pot ready to go for tomorrow. I’m seriously broke, but I’m sure I could find a way to squeeze an extra $5 or $10 for the puppies.

Awwww PUPPIES!

Hey, I’m a Gemini too…hmmm I couldn’t imagine answering that question because I’m passionate about everything, a true Gemini. (I love dachsunds, especially long hair ones.)
