Ripped From the Headlines of My Journal
AKA Notable Quotables:
Colleen on feeling nervous before giving a poetry reading: “Well, I can’t be any worse than President Bush at a press conference, right?”
Joe on Colleen’s habit of loud sneezing: “You sneeze like your leading the drill team.”
Colleen after a scrabble game: “It’s embarrassing to win, but it’s more embarrassing to lose.”
Colleen on being tired: “I was so tired today that even my hair felt like a too-heavy weight to carry.”
Joe on Colleen’s computer skill gaps: “You’re like a gourmet cook who doesn’t know how to use a measuring cup.”
Colleen on politics: Republicans and Democrats are like Fords and Chevys. They’re like the Yankees and the Red Sox. They have an almost irrational need to take sides.
Comments
I like that last one. Earlier I left a comment somewhere about how I wish politicians could leave bypartisanship behind and work together for the common good. Think it will ever happen?

I'm SURE you couldn't be any worse than "Bush at a press conference." Have a great day!

You'd think you's run out of nails after hitting them all on the head.

I know what you mean: I was so tired once that my hair ached and my teeth itched.

I know what you mean. I was so tired once that my hair ached and my teeth itched.

I liked the "tired" one too. In fact, that is how I feel right now.

I love the "gourmet chef" analogy.

The gourmet chef analogy was absolutely perfect. Kudos to Joe!
Now you've got me wondering if it might not be a bad idea to jot down some of the brilliance lives in Ed's head. He comes out with some great little gems.
