And I thought my dad was bad...
Funny
"We had our prom at the Plaza and my father was waiting for me outside when it was over. He was like, 'Let's go.' And I'm still wearing this formal gown, and we get on the subway. Everyone thought I did something wrong. Y'know, what would you think if you saw a girl riding the subway in a formal gown and her father standing there with his arms crossed, like this? *glares*"

Um...

Voodoo
Bizarre
"Do you know where you can get voodoo dolls? Like, real ones? And can you do magic on someone who's already dead?"

Quoting myself...
Um...
Is this frowned upon? I can't remember. It's been ages since I was here.
Anyway. I was clearing some old junk out of my room and found my old cellphone. I wasn't sure what to do with it, so I asked my mother, who told me she could give it to a friend of hers to donate to the Association for the Blind.
My immediate reaction: "Oh, okay. I've got a few faceplates, too, but I don't suppose they'll be wanting them."

I don't want to know.

Not nice
Funny
"They killed children and ate corpses. Was that nice? 'Well, maybe if it was part of their culture...' NO! It's NOT nice! I'm the professor--you have to agree with me! Eating corpses is not nice!"

Overheard in the library
Funny
"I had a dream about you last night! You had left and gone to Australia, and you were just going to play tennis forever and ever."
"Australia?"
"Well, I think it was Australia. The postcard you sent looked Outbacky."

Frowny-faces
Wisdom
A story (paraphrased) that my Old English professor told on one of the first days of class:
"My granddaughter had her first day of kindergarten, and she came home all upset because she almost got a frowny-face on something. And I started thinking...she has eight more years of elementary school and junior high, four years of high school, four years undergrad, and possibly endless years of grad school, if she goes into the Humanities...think of how many thousands of frowny-faces await her!"
One guy's response:
"That's dark and evil!"
But it's true...

"The Sox kicked ass last night."
