Patsy's Best Line

(photo kidnapped from goddesssophiawalker)

Re-watching Absolutely Fabulous recently, I heard what can only be described as the funniest damn thing ever to be said by Joanna Lumley as Patsy Stone. She referred to Saffron as, "this little trail of cat sick." I literally had to pause the DVD so that my raucous laughter would not drown out the next 5 minutes. Ingeniously written and beautifully delivered - I simply cannot wait for the new episodes I heard will be aired later this year.

Jason Segel

Fr. Michael has stated on several occasions just how much he dislikes comedies. He especially detested I Love You, Man. Last night Michael and I were out and I held up a DVD copy of the film and teased him saying, "Would you like me to get this for your upcoming bday??" He gave me the evil eye, pointed to Jason on the cover and said, "How is he an actor? What McDonald's did they find him at?" I told him that I have adored Jason since Freaks & Geeks but Michael just gagged and told me to be still. Our taste in men are on total opposite sides of the spectrum.

What is behind door number one...

Years ago Melissa used to work one on one with an autistic boy named Stephen. Whenever at Stephen's house, Melissa made it a habit of tossing her bag in the closet. One afternoon while they were working, her cell phone went off. She had it set to vibrate and their work paused as Stephen's eyes widened with the buzzing sound coming from behind the closet door. Stephen pointed and hollered to Melissa, "There's a cow in the closet! There's a COW in the CLOSET!!" Melissa had to admit that the buzzing did have a moo like quality and Stephen was very relieved when he found there was no cattle in the closet.

Over-reactor

Marina went to my brothers' place last week to get an oil change and hang out with the gang. She picked up brownies ahead of time and brought them over for the kids. They were in the car in the heat for the drive over and therefore were warm as though just out of the oven. Little Z, who is seven, took a bite and said, "Why are these warm??" Marina looked right at him and in all seriousness said, "Because I farted on them." Clearly Marina is well aware that boys love to talk about farting and burping and anything gross, so she expected him to bust out laughing. He did not. Little Z burst into tears and even after Marina told him that she was joking, he refused to eat "The Fart Brownie." Lucky for his older sister, she didn't care what happened to the delicious treats-she gobbled hers down and went after Z's.

The Nail on the Proverbial Head

When I told my brother Wayne (via text message) this morning that a Krispy Kreme will be opening a mere 15 minutes from my house, here was his response:
You lucky duck!! The chocolate doughnuts with white cream are little puffs of heaven filled with Angel clouds.
