The More You Know

What? 

Do you call your weapon a rifle or a gun, Marine?


Full Metal Jacket (My Rifle Clip)

When Dad & I were watching that, the second he heard it, he laughed and said, "Oh no, somebody said it!"

We just called it our weapon.

In my younger days I was buddies with a guy in a frat.  I remember once calling it a "frat" and he corrected me: "It's a fraternity.  Do you call your mother a 'moth' and father 'fat'?"

I said, "No, but I do call them 'mom' and 'dad'."

[spoiler]I think what's amazing is Jennifer Morrison's and Jesse Spencer's willingness to do the love story at all. They got engaged December '06 and called it off about a year later. Jennifer even did a photo shoot for In Style Weddings magazine.

Yeah, should've gotten a clue with super-fast cold turkey detox.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I was thinkin' the same thing...but Lucy and Desi did it for years.
And yeah, that was a bit fast...when I ran out of my meds (vicodin included), I thought I'd manage till my next appointment to just see what I still needed. Uh, no....

I hurt so much more than I should/would have ordinarily...I was twitching in my sleep...I threw up acid water! And this from just being on a regular dosage for barely 5 months...with a 'one pill each night' reigime for nearly a year previous. My doctor freaked when I told him what I'd done! I told him how I had to call in for refills, and didn't realize how 'bad' I was (since the pain was sooooooooooooooo much worse). He said, 'oh no, you are not really hurting that bad from the surgery! That was withdrawl you were feeling. Your bones haven't finished knitting together, you still need the pain meds, and when you are ready, we will take you off them slowly!". *whew* So, yeah.[/spoiler]

We also called our M16's a 5.56mm shoulder fired, magazine fed, air cooled, gas operated means of saying hello to our enemies. Politely, of course.

Wackiness is often the norm around here.

I play chess, so when I heard from Pearl the latest idea for saving Fillion's show, Castle was to send the "castle" pieces of a chess set I nearly went ballistic.  "It's not a 'castle', it's a rook!"

So now if either of us is wrong about something, or if something is being called a name it shouldn't, the conversation always devolves to "It's a rook!"

OK, maybe ya just had to be there. 

I totally get it! When Tom and I were first married, something was said about a 'Veranda'...Tom didn't know what that was. I told him, 'it's just another name for a porch, usually something fancy, like in the old South...'. But the joke that came out of that was, from then on, whenever there was something that one of us didn't know or couldn't remember the name of, it became 'the veranda'. We had an old cabinet that we used to hold our TV. It was once a fancy piece of furniture, with shelves, but we gutted it, and cut a hole in the back for the cords...it wasn't a 'cabinet' anymore, so, it became 'the veranda'.

They say that it's those wacky 'family' inside jokes and things that show the level of intimacy and love a family shares. I think that's another reason I LOVE "Castle"...they always show that side of his relationship with his daughter. I swear I cry almost every ep. Gingi told me "I think that's why you love this show so much...just that part of it!". I told her I actually LOVE seeing Nathan play that much vulnerability...Mal didn't allow himself that. This part is so perfect for him!

[Pearl@32]

It's kinda like the MommyUncleJesus thing. If you weren't there, you go WTH? If you were there, you wish that someone would stop cracking your toes.

/glares and laughs at J-R-B

Self-medication really isn't a good idea, but we do it.
