DiscourseMarker is here to kick ass at Geeks Who Drink trivia and chew gum. And she's all out of gum.*
*Actually, that's not true, she has gum on her at all times.

Oh, this is cool! That's the last night of my semester and I will be FREE FREE FREE! Lipstick Thespian is coming into Cambridge with me early to do some Christmas shopping. So I'll check with him but I bet we'll plan on joining you!

Semester's over! Well, grading isn't but at least I don't have to make a 9:00 lecture on Tuesday morning. I'd love to make it.

My grades are due by 10am on Monday, so I'd better be done before trivia! Whoo hoo!

Phew, my potluck is Tuesday night, not Monday, and I think my cat-sitting responsibilities are done by then. I'll be there with Christmas lights on!

Is it anybody's birthday?

Hopefully I can make it again.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Well, not that day, but it'll be the last Thing before my birthday.

Not sure if I can make it, actually. Maybe?

You know, you can use peanut butter to get the gum off her. Or freeze it with ice cubes and then chisel it off.

I am FROM New Jersey....let's hope that comes in handy!

I bet it's about sports uniforms.

Welp, we're screwed, then.

As for shores... There's Dinah and Pauly and Howard.

I will be very pleased if I get the opportunity to answer "The All-Nurse Band".

Any Reese Witherspoon stalkers on the team?
posted by DiscourseMarker at 12:28 PM on December 19, 2011


Welllllll, I wouldn't say "stalker" but let's just say there's some DNA sampling involved and leave it at that.

Wah. Scheduling collision!

I am also from New Jersey, but not from the part that anyone knows about. Unless we're talking about THE MOST DANGEROUS CITY IN THE USA, then I might be of some help.

Not going to make it tonight, unfortunately. Kick some tater butt for me.
posted by bondcliff at 1:30 PM on December 19, 2011


I told myself that if I slept all day and felt better by 5pm I could still go out and play at pub trivia despite having stayed home sick from work. Sadly, this wasn't the magic cure to getting better by 5pm.

However, I really hope that "All-Nurse Band" ends up being an answer, so that HR can go from answering questions before they're finished to answering questions before Any have been asked.

I like to think that I contributed by drinking some of the beer.

You contributed, we just didn't listen.

(Also, 2 out of 3 Shores ain't bad.)

Plus, we got to snark about Staten Island. It was great! Happy holidays y'all.

I want Shore
I need Shore
There ain't no way I'm ever gonna love Shore
Now don't be sad
'Cause 2 out of 3 Shores ain't bad.
