give us any chance, we'll take it, give us any rule, we'll break it.

that makes us sound rotten.

one of our exchange students is called shirley. jergins showed her the opening of laverne & shirley so she knew what he thought of when he heard her name.

the other is called brenda. jergins couldn't get it out of his head that the middle brady sister is jan, not brenda, so he showed her a picture of the brady bunch to show what he thought when he heard brenda. which is true, he thought it. even though it is wrong.

after seeing both, shirley said, "shirley is prettier than brenda."

the exchange students really deserve their own thread. a wonderful, adorable, hilarious thread. an exhausting thread. a thread of shopping, and asking questions, and posing for pictures. and shrieking when accidentally running into one another on campus. and lots of very fancy emoticons:

<3 shirley and brenda 4 eva

i wonder what they would have thought of brenda from 90210 vs shirley.

we even talked about him showing her brenda from 90210! but he still showed her jan brady.

:)

yes :)

these are frightening times, i had better stock up on licorice bullets and jaffas for us all pronto.

i expect everyone is fatalistic about what 'us all' means in practical terms.

oh dear :(

in better news: griffins are bringing back CHOCADE biscuits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh, i forgot about them, they're nice. next i want cadbury's to bring snifters back.

have you contacted philip wen to tell him how you are affected?

nope.

I have zero faith in philip wen's outcome-affecting abilities.

it would just make ruby sound greedy since I would sign using her name.

You lil bugger <3
