“Gold doesn’t have the gentle dignity of silver which becomes more charming as it ages, and so the cathedral seems to be decorated like an old woman with too much make-up.”

Barney- “Oh Oh Oh! Marshal’s wearing a nightgown!!!”

Marshal- “It’s a night shirt.”

Barney- “You can call it a ninja death star and it’s still a nightgown.”

Leanne- “Does it smell like mushrooms in here? Why do I smell mushrooms?”

Karen- “Your having a stroke.”

Leanne- “No, that’s burned toast.”

Me- “No, that’s a seizure.”

Karen- “You’re definitely having a stroke.”

“I’m glad that I had a nugget of ignorance. I’m kind of the Sarah Palin of orchestra.”

-Rufus Wainwright to Elvis Costello on failing out of music school.

“My hands were so dry I was choking.”

-Crazy Lavern at work

-Rex Murphy

A Facebook status change from my receptionist at work….

“Karen has a perfect body, but it’s in the trunk and starting to smell.”
