Top Blog Quotes of 2007

I have enjoyed the blogging world so much that I thought I would share a list of some of my favorite tidbits from YOUR blogs (these are in no particular order except for the last one). Keep in mind, these are only from around the time I started blogging through the present:

I, along with much of the world, am not impressed by the simple fact that you have children. Making babies is an exceedingly normal, even cliché thing to do that, like knitting, does not make you interesting.

Mickey (in search of interesting blogs)

And yet he is. My biggest influence is a wooly mammoth with very long eyelashes.

Courtney (on Snuffleupagus being her influence)

I'm going to win the lottery tomorrow. I'm sure God told me this while I was sitting in the dark with my door closed hoping that no one would come make me cover a class during my precious planning period.

Jacob (the sad thing is, so many people really think this way)

What I’m attempting to establish here, beyond the shadow of a whisker of a doubt, is not that she’s simply an idiot, but rather the true bottomless depths of her ignorance.

Mickey (on his coworker, btw, "shadow of a whisker of a doubt"? That's a new one!)

Still, I'm perfectly aware that my regular spouting of trivia and lack of fear for an intelligent discussion of differing views could easily be mistaken for nerd bragging.

Jacob (on whether he’s a know-it-all)

This is really groundbreaking shit, theologically speaking.

Chris (nothing like the word “shit” being thrown into a sentence with a word that means the study of God)

What's really fun is when he comes home in the middle of me doing one of these things, and then there's a lot of long, silent, judgmental staring.

Courtney (on Mickey walking in on her dancing around the apartment)

"You know, they've done research to show that three-quarters of all women have some kind of that schizophrenia PMS stuff."

Chris (on mental illness - not actually Chris’ quote but we appreciate him sharing it with us)

Dear Apartment, let’s get right to the point: I hate you.

Courtney (I just love the direct point here)

Now that I’ve had a few minutes to reflect on it, though, I realize that, quite obviously, Meaghan is The Man and she’s once again conspiring in her subtle way to keep us all down.

Mickey (on me contemplating being average - I'm not sure how I feel about being called a man...)

I told the young man at the counter that I would like to have a to-go order. He then proceeded to ask me if I was eating in or taking out. Huh?
 I looked at him and repeated. I would like a to-go order. And then he asked, Did you already order? I decided I had not made myself crystal clear. I stated in a strong voice, I would like to order some food to take home with me. He stared. He didn't say anything.

 So, I gave him my order. He then asked, Will that be for here or to go?

 What the...?

Nicole (on ordering at Taco Bell - we’ve all been through it, but Nicole details it to a T)

To be honest, I don't think eating a bread-and-butter breakfast is the secret of all these magenta-haired 60 year olds in leather pants I see walking around.

Kari (on the use of butter in France)

Anyway, so we were discussing gun control in general, with all of us giving anecdotes or experiences, when I said, "but Ryan, even if there was a REMOTE possibility that someone tried to break into your home, I could at the most see myself purchasing a tazer. But I'd even say a small handgun might be necessary in some cases. But that's only with the proper training. Do YOU have any kind of weapon safety training for this assault rifle?"

To which Ryan responded - totally seriously (and Chris and Meaghan can attest to this)......



"Well I've got a merit badge from Scouts."

Severo (on Ryan’s recent gun purchase)

Apparently part of the radio spot includes the woman laughing. And not just any ol' hardy-har-har laugh either. They wanted a flirty, sexy laugh. Laughing on command is hard, but to give your best flirty laugh...aie, aie, aie!

Kari (I can picture this and it makes me laugh)

And now, for my hands-down favorite quote of 2007…

Since I work with three other women, the squeals were positively deafening and I’m pretty sure I heard someone’s uterus explode.

Courtney (on baby discussions)
