My dad used to recite this to me, but with some Boston-are modifications:

When we first got together, my husband was working on a series of carvings inspired by ampersands. They were inspired by his college thesis, which was on cognition and typography.

For #2, I'm gonna go with Dean... but can she get this one instead? Because Rory Gillmore, saving people, hunting things? Is way cooler than Rory Gillmore on the Obama bus.

No, see, it's just not that integrated a neighborhood. So there's just one black person between Jennifer's former home and the paparazzo.

At first, I thought I'd made a typo writing 'a Scott'. And then I realized: <i>Highlander</i> predicted the whole thing. There can be only one. And one of the contenders.... is <i>a Scott</i>.

Kubrick made Prometheus? Now there's a conspiracy theory.

I read a fantastic speech given by Lois Lowry a few years back, in which she talked about censorship, and how reading helped her cope with the death of her son, Gray.

Word.

I used to call my boyfriend 'the wife,' but now that we're married that just seems weird.

Seriously? I laughed my butt off. And I really didn't like Iron Man 1 & 2 (so why'd I see Iron Man 3 in theaters, you ask? Marriage. Marriage is why).

Adric. I was a kid when he was a companion on Doctor Who (at least when those episodes were aired in the states), and loved/wanted to be him. When my sister and I played Doctor Who, I'd always be Adric (she'd be Nyssa. Yes, of the two of us she is significantly smarter and less annoying). As an adult, I can see the…

I think I was just exposed to the 5th Doctor and Tegan at too young an age. I love them uncritically — heck, I even love Adric. By the time Peri came along, my critical faculties had grown in, but anything pre-Colin Baker gets the automatic nostalgia pass.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson's husband is going to be disappointed to learn he doesn't actually golf. I mean, isn't gay. Wait, what are we talking about?

Aww, that was my favorite part.

Same here. As I told my husband, "Seriously, an old bread tie is fine. No need to go for the zombie ring."

It's a city on a hill! A shining beacon! Uh, oh. Look out, white lady! Jackbooted thugs!!

I seriously wonder if this is what it was like, inside Reagan's head.

One of my grad school professors was Carolyn Keene for a few Nancy Drew books in the mid-eighties. I still have envy.

Shouldn't the category be 'Holy Carp WTF'? # corrections

I really wish this show were based on Kelly Link's Magic For Beginners. Because that? Would be awesome.
