Oh, What A Night...

Stephanie: "What I meant to say... I don't remember... I'm kind of like a goldfish."

Charisse: "I like the idea of being a manwhore with standards."
Steph: "It means you'll almost try anything once!"

Mal: "I'm an athletic tutor."
Sara: "Not to be confused with an athletic supporter!"
Charisse: "It's a different level of elastic."

Stephanie: "He got married and they have two kids, and they're ugly. I wish them well. And their ugly little family."

Charisse: "Seriously, it's just so random. They're like... rabbits. Bunnymellows!"
...
Mal: "Hold on - let me chew through my fluffy friends."

Stephanie: "Actually, I'll probably try anything twice - after all, if you try it once and it doesn't work it's not really a fair judgement. So, I'll almost try anything twice!"

Sara: "I don't think what I'm feeling is the Spirit."

Stephanie (holding the open end of a large drinking glass over her mouth): "Rutabaga. Arugula. Various Garden Greens."*

Mal: "Celine Dion's voice gives me a migraine and makes my legs hurt..."

Stephanie: "Rogue olive! Rogue olive!"



EPIC.





*Seriously, try it. Everything is funny when you say it into a glass.

Oh my heavens. Oh my freaking heavens. I love this blog post. And I love our friends. And I love that you're coming to visit. Soon.

So, so funny. (Although all of it sounds suspiciously like you were in a seedy bar somewhere, with many drinks containing olives)
When exactly will you be here? And can we please do lunch or a movie, or chase a rogue chocolate? Because I hate olives...

Michelle, that's awesome - as we were actually at Sara's house! I think I shall call it "Sara's Seedy Bar" from now on.

I'll be in Salt Lake for Harry Potter weekend - maybe Friday for lunch? I'm still debating whether I'm driving down to Cedar and back on Saturday. (Long story.)
