Overheard in the Office:

I have mentioned before that my roommate gets lost in her own thoughts while she's in the shower in the morning, and then winds up in mid-monologue when she cuts the water off, the results of which can be very non-sequiturish for those of us who have been just sitting in the office down the hall minding our own business. Today's example:

*sound of water being turned off*

RX: "'A man, a plan, a canal, Suez!'; 'Able was I ere I saw Brooklyn'; 'Madam, in Eden I'm Steve'... It's the Island of Misfit Palindromes!"

I need a daily dose of her mental meanderings. It keeps me feeling turnip... I mean _sane_.

Every time I read the word "palindrome" I visualize Richard Boones horse.

When the going thing is an Eve, Otto or Bob, "Nobody wants a Charlie in the box...".

Funny that, as I read the previous post, the first palindrome that popped into my head was "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama."

I should never have been surprised to find that the Grand Dame of Steampunk was wayyyy ahead of me.

You know, that kid is making money and has a published book based on the crap his paternal unit spews.

None of it that I've read is nearly as entertaining as what you've documented here.

I see a new site and forthcoming book deal... and fyi, www.roomierambles.com isn't registered. :-)
