Spent a good deal of my Wednesday night making applesauce. “Pork chops ‘n’ appleshawsh,” I found myself muttering, a la Peter Brady and Alice. Extra points if you remember the episode.
We don’t use that quote around this house. (Husband didn’t even recognize it when I asked.) But we use a fair amount of others. Part of that comes from being a sci-fi/fantasy fan, part from becoming a Gamer by Marriage. We quote everything from Monty Python to Snickers commercials (“I’m Batman!”), but the 10 quotes you’re most likely to hear at our house go something like this:
“I have a bad feeling about this.”
“Very dangerous. You go first.”
“Truly, you have an astonishing intellect.”
“Yah dead?”
“Ed-dee! Whathaveyoudoneformelately?”
“You smart. Make things go.”
“That don’t confront me.”
“Game over, man!”
“Sweeeet.” “Totally.”
“(Person/object/idea) is awesome … it’s SO AWESOME … it’s beyond awesome. It’s … BEE-AWESOME!”
(Give yourself one point each of the ones you recognize from above. If you get them all, I may have to declare you as a dependent.)

"Ya know where the Safeway is……." This after admitting new residency and no knowledge of where ANYTHING was…
"What do YOU know?" Especially effective after asking for advice or an opinion on anything.
said by a next door neighbor, "I had a roomate in college and she aways would say, That's mighty thoughty of you''–this said continually every time a favor was done, and also without any foreknowledge that it HAD been said over and over and over….

[...] Even though I work with people just as seriously quirky as myself, or possibly more so, I find I use different quotes here than I do at home. [...]
