Gene: So I was thumbing my thumb drive the other day, and I had this odd hankering for some Mr. Pibb.
Oliver: Did you just say "hankering"?
Gene: Yeah, hankering. What's wrong with that?
Oliver: No one says that anymore.
Gene: I just did.
Oliver: Yeah, I know you just did....but I mean....other people. No other person says "hankering." Honest to goodness.
Gene: "Honest to goodness"? Now, seriously. Noooooobody says that anymore.
Oliver: You're just saying that to get me back for what I said about "hankering."
Gene: No, seriously. No one says "honest to goodness." I would have brought it up had you not even mentioned the "hankering" thing. Honest to goodness.
Oliver: How can someone "hanker" for something? Show me one example of hankering. You can't. I defy you to show me hankering. Bee tea dub, pass the oregano please.
Gene: "Oregano?" No one says that anymore. Who honestly says that?
Oliver: Why does no one like our conversations? I find them stimulating.
Gene: Good question....for once.
Oliver: Exactly.

Kathryn's Blogservations
A few nights ago Kathryn and I were watching a movie at home. We popped the DVD (digital video disc) in our DVD player and in no time, a familiar message appeared:
"This screen has been modified from its original version. The following has been formatted to fit this screen."
And Kathryn made a blog-worthy observation: Why are they informing us about this bit o' editing. Certainly, the editors have made plenty of editing decisions that they didn't feel the need to inform us about - so why this one. "This shot was originally 4 seconds long, but it has been adjusted to be 3.25 seconds." If we don't need every editorial detail, why do we need that one? Good call.
----
Kathryn: Isn't our body temperature 98.6 degrees?
Matt: Yeah.
Kathryn: So, how come when it is 98 degrees outside, we feel so hot? Shouldn't it neutralize itself out into equilibrium or something? Shouldn't that feel...you know, normal?
Matt: Good call!
----
Kathryn's good friend from college (Jen from Lost) wrote a real letter to the 90210 character, Dylan. Not Luke Perry, mind you. Dylan. I am curious what address she sent it to. What did she write on the envelope? Kathryn exclaims, "Was this like one of your letters to Santa that you gave to your mom but she never really sent it?" Oh, Jen.
Good call!!!
