So, starting this up again since the site relaunch.

I think mine would be when my sister was talking to my mom, just a bit ago, she said: "So I was taking a nap... on my floor."

I just wanted to say that I, for one, take naps on my floor all the time.

Once I put on all my ski clothes, to test it out before a trip, and it was so warm and comfortable I fell asleep in the hallway on a pile of laundry.

Seconded. There's just something about the floor... Convenience, for one.

I don't think I've ever taken a nap on the floor. But I have spent several nights sleeping on carpets (under a cloak). And I almost took a nap in a tent. Inside my living room.

I started at the top of the thread and tried to incorporate each one into my nano. But this has well and truly thrown me.

"Non-Euclidian carrots!!!"

"Just you wait, I'll get you. WITH A SPOON, SO THAT IT TAKES LONGER!"

My house produces a lot of odd phrases.

On rare occasions I ride some of the high usage, frequent stop routes that go from one end of town to another. I sit in the back of the bus and mind my own business.

Things get really interesting when you have people talking to friends about how they just got out of jail and are trying to make connections with other friends.

Eeeep! This was my favorite last year.

I actually wrote one down with this thread in mind. On a bus, a MAN and his ALSO-MALE FRIEND were having this conversation, and let me just stress that they were dead serious.

"I have the unfortunate habit of picking up girls in lesbian bars"
"That's actually not so bad. No competition"

One day last year, I was walking home from school and I overheard my neighbors talking about sea cucumbers. No lie.

With my group of friends, I'm always hearing strange things. Last night I had my friend Anna and her husband Donavan over and she and I walked in to Donavan talking on the phone.
"No, no. It's not toxic, it just depends on how much she drank." -pause and then eyes gets really wide- "You did what?! Take the cucumber away and don't drop her on her head again!"

My friend and I were out to dinner the other night because she had just gotten diagnosed with cancer and needed distraction. The ladies in the next booth were talking about how one of them was on a plane and the engine caught fire and how she was praying not to die and the whole bit.

I wonder if they overheard us talking about cancer.

Once I had the following exchange with a classmate:

her: This tastes like poison.
me: It's that bad?
her: No, it's awesome. It just tastes like poison.

'So when did the Second World War start?'
'The 1970's?'
'No... anyone else?'
'1942?'
'Close, but not quite. Anyone else have an idea?
'1939?'
'Correct.'

This happened just a few minutes ago in our history class. It isn't too weird, but it is rather depressing that it took our class three goes to get the starting year of WWII correct.
