Every once in a while, someone says something out loud and heads pop up, eyes get wide . . . it's nuts. Sometimes, we get a couple of "serious" body builders who, I guess, couldn't get to their actual gym. It must be like when Dustin Hoffman used to drop in on an Acting One class.

A friend of mine growing up had a father who would pull a prank like this. His dad would suddenly yell and make like he was going to hit him in the face.

Had a friend with a GIANT BOLD tattoo of her husband's name on her inner right arm. They were married when she was 23 and he was 20. One year, a pile of divorce papers and 6 laser-removal appointments later, it's still there bold as day. At least a) it's also her grandfather's name and b) she got back together with

That. Right there. That's really all they have to say, but no one ever does.

Aw, man. I saw Affleck and got all excited for a Ben Affleck Doctor Who appearance. He was the bomb in "Phantoms" yo.
