“Say it with me now:
Vagina”
– I love where Kotex is coming from in their new ad campaign, and I hate that American television networks are prohibiting them from using the word “vagina” (or even “down there”, which is a horrid euphemism) in their commercials.

“It never occurred to me the murderer was ME!”
– When I was little I used to watch Murder She Wrote with my parents. And then I’d be all sorts of crazy freaked out. Like I’d make my mom watch me walk to my bedroom at the end of the hall after the show, in case any murderers were hanging about.

Nice Rack
Submitted by smartgrrrl:
It’s a Scrabble joke. I’ve seen a couple Zazzle shirts in this vein, but they merely spell out “nice rack” in Scrabble tiles, which is just dumb.

“(Everything I’ve ever known about love) I learned from Bryan Adams”
– Chatting over lunch at BookCamp Vancouver
“Sometimes I over-think things.”
– At work, we were over-thinking things. And then, while writing this post, I over-thought whether “over-think” needs a hyphen or a space. And then I smacked myself and hit the button. (This one needs a cute stick figure illustration.)
“I am the state.”
– It’s unclear why, but we were musing about Stalin.
