So, I glanced at one of our bookshelves. There I saw the title, Penny Wise. I blinked, and it became Preteen Wise.

I know it seems absurd to say one could like AIO too much. But perhaps things have gone too far when you start hallucinating?

How about every time you get on a swing, you think, "Why, you're never too old to swing!" Do not quote me on that, but that is the famous Whit quote that he tells Aubrey Shepard. And yes, I got on a swing today and thought about that line.

Once I listened to the labyrinth so many times I could recite the beginning,no more :(

I like quoting odyssey characters. My favorite is

In fast pursuit of a feathered water foul. :D

I've listened to "Mum's the Word" so much I can quote it from memory, and I have parts of the DBD episodes memorized, too, like Jack and Jason's argument in "Moving Targets" and Jason's conversation with Eugene in the car in "The Last Resort".
it's not about 'deserve'. it's about what you believe. and i believe in love

Okay, so, I have a pink iPod Classic. Every night I put it on when I go to sleep. I click "play all." And all that's on my iPod is Odyssey.
I'm such a nerd.

I started an Odyssey discussion at a multichurch activity recently. Also, whenever the topic of Negro spirituals are brought up in a conversation, I play "The Gospel Train" from The Jubilee Singers off my iPod. (I just did that this past Sunday.)

It's not an iPod Touch or anything. Just a hand-me-down from my sister. :P

I can quote the entire episode of Wooton Knows Best from Clanging Cymbals. I also have most of For the Birds from Take it From the Top memorized. IDK why because I usually like the mysteries the best.

If it counts for anything, I always found Red Hollard's animal phrases amusing, so several weeks ago I perused through some of his quotes on AIOWiki. Last night at dinner, we were conversing about someone, and I said, "Well, not to be offensive, but she's a couple hogs short of a pig pen, if you know what I mean." I will try to use more Red Hollard phrases in the future.
