New dumb statements from Y

Me: Did you put a secret code into your report?
Y: Not as far as I know, unless my subconscious is smarter than I think it is.

My response: Huh?!?

And in an unrelated statement about one of my siblings: Around Chanukah time, do you put her in a corner and hang trinkets from her?

(paraphrased to protect quasi-innocent third parties)

Y's murderous tendencies

OK so, I was telling Y about the few nice people in my lab who are interested in his real name, as opposed to rest of them who seem to find it too long and difficult to pronounce. (not sure why that might be....maybe he should think twice before mocking other people's names)

His response: I will remember them. They will have an easy death (evil laugh implied, I think).

Y's plans to take over the world

will involve a number of very important tasks, most of which are too confidential to disclose here. As he says, he may only have one chance to take over the world, so we must plan this well. My initial intent was to be his faithful and loyal sidekick. However, plans have stalled somewhat, so I may institute a "takeover of the takeover."

Also also, I told Y tonight:
"Maybe we can go to a classical music concert. I will make you classified."

Editorial note: I think I meant "cultured."

Y also says

"I'm only green on the inside."

And just to add a bit of weirdness from my side:

"Do you wash your hair with steel wool?"
"I don't feel like what I say has to make sense."

Y says

"Open sesame....bun."

OK there's alot more but I'm way exhausted. Apologies to Y for not doing his justice humor.

Wait, shoot, reverse that.

All day blogging time!

OK maybe that's not the appropriate way to look at Tisha B'av, but nonetheless, I am taking the whole day off. What better opportunity to blog?

In the spirit of the day, here's a briefly serious thought: Why is my apartment on reduced power?????

Nope I guess that wasn't the appropriate Tisha B'av spirit. Let's try again.

Why is my building's elevator not working???

OK one more time:

So I've been asking myself all day whether I really mourn the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash. I guess the answer is probably not; I think it's hard to mourn or miss a lifestyle that is so foreign from my own. I guess the living in Israel part would be nice. Otherwise, I don't know. I kind of like the way my life is right now, and presumably there's some kind of benefit/ Torah value in that as well.

And on a different note, here's a stupid thought from me about the heat wave:

"It's almost a hundred degrees outside. That's hot enough for water to boil!"

(Comes from being a very confused American scientist)

Sometimes I say it strange too

Question I asked Y:
"Is that why you're biased against the letter pink, or are you just biased against the letter in general?"

Slightly paraphrased because I forgot my exact words. Also clearly the heat has been messing with my brain a bit.

Um....

OK so I offered Y some fake blue flowers that came in a bag, and he attempted to put them behind his ear. Fine but thats not the strange part.

The strange part is, when I offered to open the bag for him, he said, "Don't open the bag. I'm afraid they are going to run away."
