Ok, I don't know if I was looking really hot this weekend or if I was just around a lot of drunk people...
In the grocery store, yesterday, with my toddler, some guy who is clearly 25 years older than myself walks up and asks
"Hey, does that baby need a Daddy"
... No, he has one, thanks.

I'm going to share with you guys something that's just to bizarre to keep to myself, but since it's an inter-office memo of my wife's company, I'm summing it up without names.
So a month ago, my wife tells me that a guy at their Cleveland branch died in a car accident -- this guy was apparently well-liked, and my wife's boss was broken up about this, crying at her desk when she heard the news.
Today, the vice president of the company sends an e-mail to say, in effect:
1. The guy's wife informed the company as to his death on Thanksgiving.
2. The company sent out an e-mail to all its employees in a tri-state area letting them know this.
3. The company looked for an obituary notice or article about the car accident and couldn't find any of those things.
4. They hired a private investigator to check it out -- it turns out there was no accident. The company kept thinking that maybe the guy died under different circumstances, although reports from the guy's neighbors said that they saw him shoveling snow a couple days ago.
5. A former employer of this guy went over to the guy's house to express condolences to his family, when the guy answered the door, told him to leave and slammed the door in his face.
6. The company is now telling employees to stay the heck away from this guy, as he and his wife are obviously disturbed in some way.
I just thought that was incredible... a guy faked his death, and badly, to get out of work or something.

Me (as I'm surfing around the internet with my laptop): "Crap. My battery's dying and I don't feel like looking for the charger. Ah well I need to get up and get some housework done, anyway." *I start to walk out of the living room*
My husband (in his creepiest, Hal 9000 voice): "Heather......what are you doing, Heather? Come back. Don't walk away, Heather. Daisy, Daisy give me your answer, dooooooo........"

An e-mail from my sister in law:
"Mommy," Isabel said at breakfast this morning, with enthusiastic sincerity "Did you know Uncle Jordan (my brother) is a warrior?"
Maybe I should have let her live in the dream. When I told her that Uncle Jordan is, in fact, a lawyer, she seemed a little disappointed. Ha!

Last night, the kids and I were watching Leverage. The episode has a scene where an American woman is trying to convince a bunch of Serbian orphans to follow her to escape out of their orphanage. After struggling without success with her phrase book, she finally throws out, "Häagen-Dazs!" and the kids stampede her.
It was a funny line and it made me laugh out loud, but I've got to say it wasn't nearly as funny as my son turning to me in astonishment and saying, "You understand Serbian?!"

Files this under "hopeless geek":
Professor: Now keep in mind that... (pauses)
Me: (muttering under my breath) Mike can't control when the movies begin or end...

Is this the same professor you laid your "Electric Boogaloo" line on? Poor guy. Hope he has a sense of humor.  It's odd... I read this right after watching The Making of MST3K Part One. |

Yeah it is, actually. He never, ever smiles, but he's just a big teddy bear anyway.

I was invited to someone's home. A day or so before I went there, we had the following email exchange:
me: "I don't know your address. Can you please tell me?"
her: "Sure. It's name@provider.com"
me: ... Seems she has a different sense of humour than I thought.
"Hey, if you don't want me there after all, just disinvite me!"
her: "Huh?"
me: ... Maybe not.

[While listening to Willow whine about Tara in the last episodes of Buffy season 6]
Me: God, this just highlights the need for Oz. Why couldn't Seth Green have made a guest appearance this season?
Lady Luck: Uh, have you SEEN this season?
Me: Hey, he guest starred on Heroes this year, and that show blows lately too.

With apologies to my Northern friends, last night, Husband decided that Caillou is the Canadian National Mascot, and that all Canadian males are bald until at least 5 years old.
