Animal Planet lives in my home.

My 9-year old: Mom, did you know that to eat like a locust, you'd have to eat 200 pizzas?
Moi: No way! Wow.
My 9-year old: Yeah, you'd need a stomach the size of the kitchen table.
Moi: That's crazy!
My 9-year old: Yup. Then it would all go to your thighs and you'd walk like a penguin.
Moi: Great. Thanks.

When work comes to a lull, we find ways...

Moi: If we weren’t working here right now, what would we be doing?
Rocky: I’d be home blogging/downloading musicals/playing Daiblo II.
Ayan: I’d be on the moon.
Tian the Chemical Engineer: I’d be a bad ass chemical engineer working in a nuclear power plant, extracting plutonium to make weapons of mass destruction. Woot!
Muse: I’d be a NY artist with my own gallery.
Moi: I’d be designing clothes in cute little art-deco boutiques. Tian the Chemical Engineer would be my hero. Then I’d collabo with Muse.
Muse: And I’d buy your clothes.
Ayan: I’ll send you all asteroids.
Moi: Tian the Chemical Engineer and Ayan would be at space war. Rocky would blog about it.
Trippy Long Stocking: I’ll grow my own coffee, write my novel, run a Bed and Breakfast.
I Am Gay: I’d be doing PR, Marketing, Events planning. I’d collabo with Muse and Moi.
Kakers: I’d be doing a feature on Monaco. My travel show is doing Europe this season. Sigh.
Tian the Chemical Engineer: When I get bored I’ll send plutonium to you all by mail. And make Moi glowing lamps for her store.
Rocky: And Moi would glow too!
Moi: And get super powers! To fly to Kaker's destinations! And Trippy Long Stocking's B&B!
Cal: If I wasn’t working, I’d be running a “Solutions Provider” service... Mafia style.
Moi: “I need a solution for this dumbass client. Can you provide it for me?”…
“Sure. KAPOW!”...
"Thanks."

Scot likes his Tagalog-English phrase...

Scot: Starbs na!
