family time (thanksgiving post mortem)

'the good old family reunion, with picnic dinner under the maples, is very much like diving into the octopus tank at the aquarium' -Penn Warren

boyfriend training system ('catch-and-release')

THEORY: There exists a top-secret pact (hammered out during those group trips to the bathroom) where you train current boyfriend to wash dishes while someone else is training your future boyfriend. It's very efficient. METAPHOR:'Catch-and-release' fishing is similar to dating because the goal is to have fun without killing your fish. Though in Switzerland, catch-and-release fishing is considered INHUMANE and thus banned. ADVICE: If you do want to subdue your fish, pour alcohol on his gills. Much more effective than beating him over the head.

riding the wave

The only waves that can be 'ridden' are collapsing as fast as the irish economy. Extend simile accordingly.

Grown up!

CREDIT to DJ, who told me this story from his first-year training. DEFINE: 'Grown up': Having the option to take responsibility for your actions; Not to be confused with 'maturity' which is actually doing so.

observation of a disgruntled cabdriver

The world is much more interesting if you pretend that all things you run into have unique personalities and motives...which they do, actually, as readers of craigslists' missed connections already know. So perhaps the exercise is one of awareness rather than imagination. TANGENT: I once walked by the president of my university and wondered 'does PrezBo know he's PrezBo? Does he wake up every morning, say good morning to Mrs. PrezBo, and think, I'm PrezBo!' This made me grin at him like an idiot to keep from laughing. He smiled back.

oasis

A mirage is an inch closer to sanity than a hallucination, but both exist only in your head. Some argue that love is sharing the same mirage, but one thing is clear: If you're sharing the same hallucination, then you must be related.
