Some old favorites...

Jonathan on quitting caffeine
I've been dry for more than a day and a half now. (Aside from a minor lapse yesterday after lunch, but an apres-dejeuner cafe is like the patch... Not quite as dangerous as my morning caffe latte or my evening mocha...)

Jonathan on divine inspiration
Some people look for guidance in life by asking, 'What would Jesus do?' -- I ask, 'What would Winston Randolph Spencer Churchill do?'

Anastasia326: well, be the Hebrew God instead
Anastasia326: I've always secretly preferred Yahweh to Jesus
Machiavelli10: All right, you've outmanœvered me on my own metaphor...
Machiavelli10: But I win anyways because I used a word with "œ" in it...
Machiavelli10: As the Danes would say, he who laughs last, laughs lœdest...

Tea for Two - A phone conversation

Jonathan (weary of constant buffeting by the irreverent rabble who call him incessantly on minor matters): Perhaps I should start having my secretary pick up...?

Shangrila: Yes, it would be nice if she could stop being imaginary and answer the phone.

Jonathan: Don't take away my fantasies. They're all I've got.

Justin studying for his med school interviews

Justin: Listen to this question they could ask...how is medicine like the priesthood?
Rachel: (pause) You get to grope little boys.

Shang to Kevin, over the crackling static:

I'm the most sane person out of all of you. Why? Because I'm the most in touch with my neuroses.

there might just be a god, after all...

Austin sent me an IM this morning in reference to a certain someone who we all know quite well:

"Rachel, if I ever get the urge to have a heart to heart with an ex again...remind me what a FUCKING PSYCHO she is!"

a rachelian slip of the tongue

Spoken while at work Sunday:

"I know I'm addicted to books. But it could be worse, it's not like it's heroin or booze or anything. I mean, I can justify being addicted to jews."

Hmm...I must have combined "justify" and "booze." That's all. Yep, nothing more than that ;-)

Yet Another....

Kevin: He now makes pledges play "Cliff, Marry, or Fuck." And marry like in the 50s -- platonic, different beds.
Alexis: So you mean like Lauren, Ian McKellan, and Orlando Bloom?

Jonathan: Hey, Bitcho....as in Marx. (Groucho and Karl's brother....or love child?)
And apparently Sucko, Fucko, and Drunko.

Jonathan: This is like playing with the Mafia (referring to our close, wonderful, close-knit, trusting group of friends.)
