It finally happened… I tried to stop it, but I failed. I failed miserably…
All it took was one weekend visit to Oregon, and now I find myself saying things that Steve and Scott would say. Worst of all, lately I have been doing that thing where you quote in the air with your fingers…
Annie, help!!!
Everyone else, escape while you still can.
I'm a 30-year-old

awww, that’s wonderful, stephanie!! you’re the greatest :-Di love you :)but.. but what’s this talk of "escape"? it’s clear as day everyone’s "clamoring" around us, waiting for us to dispense more pearls of wisdom, furrowing their "sloped brows" in feeble gestures of concentration! look, see? *points out at crowd*

You know, I’ve "reread" your post several times, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what could be "bad" in what you’re describing! It sounds "great" to me! ;)

Heh. You just wait. Mr. Bread is slowly training such tactics into the East Coast. Soon you will be encroached on all fronts.Remember, Portland is where Mr. Bread was once accosted by a friendly stranger on a bicycle with a floppy fish sticking off of his baseball cap who–wriggling his arm in Rye Bread’s direction like a sine wave–proclaimed "Salmon Wave!"Such experiences do not leave a person quickly.

dohh god, NOT THE SALMON GUY!! He used to frequent my neighborhood, with a big crayon-colored paper salmon taped onto his bike helmet. freak. . . you’re right, though, very friendly.Heh, I ran into the Critical Mass riders Tuesday as I as coming out of Aikido. "Kill your car, drink some beer! Whoo!" (For those of you unaquainted with this fine tradition, it’s when a bunch of bicyclists get together and ride from one side of town to the other, taking up most of the road and exhorting whoever they pass not to get into their cars. "Don’t do it! Join the cycle revolution! Whoo!" )And then there’s Elvis… another of Portland’s many "institutions."

you’ll know you’ve resigned yourself to a life of ostracism from the larger society when you can have an entire conversation that is NOTHING but movie/ tv references, 85% from the Simpsons…don’t worry, you’ll be fine. :)

It’s not just you. All three of the Fojar Trinity are rife with memetic viruses. I’ve had more than a few creep into my work, believe me… Since you’re a close degree to Steve, expect to have this "problem" often…Especially when the Pokey Voice is controlling him.
