But I haven't been to Vegas for months...

me - "Hello?"
Ben (office manager) - "Hi Zac, your wife is holding on line one."
me - "My wife? I'm pretty sure it's for the other Zach."
Ben - "Oh. Yeah. Probably."

She certainly sounds like it

Andy: i was listening to some (i can only assume stout) woman on bbc world service yesterday.. she was a hillary delegate, and she said there was "something about" obama she didn't like.. he was arrogant or something
i called her a bitch out loud while walking down the street

A what?

Nick - "You know what you are? You're a puss in a hat."
me - "What?"
Nick - "You know the Cat in the Hat? You're a puss in a hat."
me - "Is that like a little bitch?"
Nick - "No, you're a puss in a hat."

At least she wasn't on TV

Jessica: but it's a disability that leads to fun and games, so I'm all for it
much like down syndrome
wait. By which I meant people with down's syndrome often compete in the Special Olympics
not that it's going to automatically lead to fun and games if you have down's syndrome
I'm not all for down's syndrome
not that there's anything wrong with people who have it
well, besides the fact that they have it
God, I've just dug myself a politically incorrect chasm

I did

Derek: Whoa
Science is on the floor

Derek: Derived from "you just dropped some science"

I forgot my delicious lunch on the kitchen counter. : (

"Well do you want a large, or the biggest one?"

me - "Tell him what size it is."
Nick - "OK, they have a large, an extra large and King Kong..."
Mike - "This is a King Kong?"
Nick - "No, this is a Mac Daddy."
Mike - "A Mac Daddy?!"
me and Nick - "Mac Daddy."

It's not a lie if it confuses you too

Nick - "I think I'm doing something tomorrow... No, it was just a lie I was telling someone."
me - "You made plans to lie about something ahead of time?"
Nick - "Yeah, my lies are elaborate and pretty far-reaching."

I'm not sure how this word would come up...

Andy: for some reason, UK media keeps using the word "chinaman"
it's either less offensive there, or their publications are just more racist

me - "Yeah that could be fun. (30 seconds later) You're talking about doing it drunk, right?"
Mike - "Of course."

Note the "h." This is not me talking to myself

me, holding my hands in C shapes, finger tips and thumbs toward each other about half an inch apart - "Zach, what's about this size?"

Zach - "Uhhhmm..."

me - "I don't want to describe it as the size of a burger."

Zach - "I think you can say burger. A burger is pretty portable and definitely palm-sized."

me - "Well here's a picture of what I'm describing."

Zach - "That's really more like a BLT."

I won't
