TC: "i think it's my internet"
TC: haha, that's a funny one
TC: YOUR internet
TC: almost a bushism
MJ: that would be gore'ism

Being clever...

When MJ was going over to TC's to pick up her cell phone that she left behind... (unedited)

MJ: ok i'm comign now
MJ: i'll call you when i'm outside?
MJ: so i don't have to find parking?
MJ: oh wait nm. i'm picking up my cell phone so i won't be able to call you from the car

Spidermen? ... or ... Monkeys?!

Mind Games

EH: hehehe... I'm just playing with your mind...
JW: My mind is not a toy.

Good advice

DVJ: "My parents told me not to marry a Korean because they beat their wives."

What are you trying to say...

JT: "Jeff works in the room that smells bad."
JW: "Yup."
SS: "Are you the only one in that room?"

Il est neuf heures et demie...

(english grammar bmao, english...)

BM: It's like 9 o'clock thirty!

yet another hui-ism

BH: "I support myself feeling good."

Because They Can Also Pickpocket Your Bag...

HP: I got pick pocketed in Costa Rica
JL: Did he get it out of your pocket?

Time well spent...

SS: It's not that I'm anti-boys. I'm just anti-waste-my-time.

When saying it one way isn’t enough...

(asking my 2nd cousin when we met)

JN: So when did you guys reconnect... or.. uh... connect.. again?

maybe it's a mutation

JT: "Schools have to give you the right tools to learn. Otherwise, you'll never change. When I was in 2nd grade, I learned how to count using my fingers. Even now, when I count up to 12, I still use my fingers."

It's moments like these...

At Bodega’s Wine Bar... ambience... dim... weather... chilly... music... chill...
Overall...

Romantic.

FC is wearing KW’s silk scarf around his neck. Tied quite fashionably smart. If not for the feminine pattern of the scarf, it was sophisticated like... cigar shop type-ish.

We all sit there deciding what to order.

DVJ: I’m gonna share the brownie & vanilla ice cream
FC: I’m gonna share the brownie & vanilla ice cream too

... and we watch... as two guys share a dessert together.

It was beautiful.

ostracizing yourself from all the crap-lovers

Getting in the car, stepping over the dirty gutter...

BH: "Don't step in the crap. That's my pet peeve, when there's crap on the floor and you step in it. I hate crap in general on the floor."

timeless quote

NS: "I used to see you every week! Now, I see you every week, but it's different."

Vietnamese paradoxical thoughts

JN: "MJ is really smart, but her weakness is her brain."

why everyone thinks americans are lazy

DVJ: "I had a long day at work. After my nap, it was non-stop staring out the window."

Flame On!

Master of Paradox

BH: "It's harder to dunk when you're tall."

I'm gonna go just in case anything funny happens

After getting in the car to head to In 'N Out....

BM: "I'm gonna take a #2."
JW: "Huh?"
TC: "Right now?!"

I think Nintendo makes them...

(while looking at the Sony PSP...)

RY: "is that the same thing as a PLAYBOY?"

you can't just make up words

BH: "Ok, that's $9, disincluding tax."

Are you IMing the correct person?

Per EH's request... for your entertainment purposes... (what else would it be for right?)

Over IM...

BH: Wassup foo.
RY: Who joo callin' a foo, FOO?!
BH: Oh! Hahaha!!! I thought I was IMing EH!

cuz, you know, you can see it

BH: "I know that like the back of my head."

self explanatory

Last night...

Pastor from another church: "How do you spell your last name?"
NS: "Shiraiwa."

At work today...

BH: "Dude, I got my sound system all set up. It was Dolby Digital Pro Logic, which is emulation, but I fixed it so that everything is Dolby Digital now. It's tite, there's surround sound (insert hand motions showing how the sound moves from speaker to speaker), and the bass shakes my windows."
JW: "That's awesome, what movie did you watch?"
BH: "Hitch."

what else would we do

BH: "Hey, tomorrow, if we get a movie or something, let's watch it."

real life and movies

(describing a car wash she went to)
NS: "Did you see A Shark's Tale? You know the Whale Wash? It's like that.....but for cars."

entertainment for the good of others

Talking about Castaway.

BH: "It's one of those movies where you have to picture yourself in that situation. It's unselfish entertainment."

Yeah, I agree with that

NS: "Different people are different."

It's always somebody else's fault

NS: "The wall was hitting me."

Master punner

BH: "I'm anal about bathrooms."

Vegas Baby! VEGAS!!!

BM: Lord, give us a clear path….and safety.
BH: (waving his hand in front of his nose as if someone just farted) Oh! Whew!

BM accidentally spits on the dashboard & starts wiping it off with a napkin. BH opens the window letting 117 degree heat come into the nicely AC cooled car…
Everyone in the car: What are you doing?
BH: Dust. Didn’t you see the dust? I’m letting it out.

Throwing the banana bread at each other’s crotches.
(this is definitely a man’s game… us girls don’t find this funny to do, but maybe to watch)

We’re all eating at the buffet, and BH starts laughing at a comment someone makes. People ask him what’s going on. He tells the story, but it flops.
BH: It’s all Benny’s fault! He forced me to say a bad dud! You had to be there!

Dealer: So where are you from?
BH: Chinese… from China
Dealer: Hahahaa!
BH: hah.. wha... how bout you?
Dealer: Polish… from Poland

EH: You can’t play with fear. You can’t think about how you’re down so much.
BH: Look at me, foo!!! I’m a FREAKIN’ LOOSER!!!

At the World Poker Tour Scam table
EH: Put on your sunglasses so you can bluff the dealer.

BH is sitting next to NS at the buffet. NS goes to get food.
NS (to BH): Can you watch my purse?
BH: Sure.
BH (to JW): Hey, can you watch her purse? I can’t see it from this angle.

Asking where Pai Gow Pete is from...
BH: So where’s your...uh.. native... territory?

JW: Yay Pete! Yay Pete! Pai Gow Pete!
Suddenly, the table behind us goes into an uproar.
Dealer: Man, there’s some rowdy people at that table.
JW: But the other tables aren’t chanting your name like we do.

While playing Pai Gow & EH pushed
Pai Gow Pete: I should change the cards so I kick your butt
EH: You mean, “Kick your arse?” (dealer’s from England)
Pai Gow Pete: No.
EH: But if you were back in London, would you say “Kick your arse?”
Pai Gow Pete: No!

EH in an attempt to move seats on the Pai Gow table
EH: Can I move over there?
Pai Gow Pete: You can move to the freeway if you want...

Don't underestimate DVJ's knowledge of cars...

DVJ: There was this one time my car broke down, so I popped the trunk, checked the wiper fluid, then called AAA.

Thinks he's a crustacean...

BM: "I'm a lobster!!!"

So cute...

NS: Yeah, I’m a year older than JT but we’re the same school year because, um, ... I was a fob.

No, not that!

RY: "There are people who watch who talks to who, who goes where....they're like observers."

Future Business Ventures...

RY: TC & DC want to open up a parking lot for non-fobs
BM: it can be next to the casino we're gonna open for good people
RY: and JW can offer his strollers-for-adults business as transportation
BM: yea, it'll be a hit!
RY: good idea. go do it!
BM: gotta invent the laying down computer device first
RY: i'd use that if they existed

Tellin' it like it is...

While looking at pictures on the refrigerator...

JW: I don't have a picture of the baby
WC: I think I may have one. Do you want one?
JW: No.

Stingrays are Everywhere...

Everyone is talking about swordfish...

NS: Oops, sorry! I was thinking about stingrays!

Untold Adventures of DVJ...

While talking about obedience to God...

RY: Sometimes I don't want to but I do it anyway
DVJ: Trust me, I know. Otherwise God will send a whale to swallow you up
RY: You've been swallowed up by a whale?
DVJ: Yes.

myers brigg

JT: "It's your P, it's your P! It's coming out!"

Thinks he's a girl...

DVJ: "I'm pretty!"

taken out of context

DVJ: "I like Steve's ball. I think it has a good weight."

master of the obvious

JW: "I need to wash my car."
BM: "Me, too. But everytime I wash it, it gets dirty again."

More things that don't sound right

while playing poker....

DVJ: "We should have a table for us lowballers."
TC: "That doesn't sound too good."
DVJ: "...for us LOW-ballers." (making it sound different)
TC: "That still doesn't sound good."
DVJ: "How 'bout for us no-ballers."
DVJ: "Is this gonna go on the blog?"

Word is getting out

NS: "I can't believe you guys blogged me!"

Things that make you go, "Hmm... really?!" ...

BM: We got some food & we're gonna eat it!
BM: Behind my house there is a house!
BM: It was itchy so I scratched it!

stingray city

BM: "You can't swim with stingrays."
NS: "You can in Stingray City."

be careful what you wish for

JW: "How come all you guys moved to LA?"
DVJ: "I dunno, it has to be God. I remember in college when I said 'I will never, ever move to LA.'"
JW: "Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?"
DVJ: "I know... God has a great sense of humor."
(...pause...)
DVJ: "I will never, ever marry somebody hot."
