- Insurance guy: Why does your son need this? Me: He has autism. IG: I'll authorize 6 mo. worth. Then, if he still has autism, call us back. Sep 8, 08:01 PM

- AP headline: "Stocks Plunge Downward". What, do these guys get paid by the word? Sep 15, 03:45 PM

- Oh Christ, I'm such an idiot. Spent the whole weekend looking for the greatest love of all; turned out it was inside of me the whole time. Sep 21, 11:46 AM
- Attn. all: I am unable to poop waffles and pee maple syrup. That, at any rate, is what I told my hungry & impatient 4-year-old this morning. Sep 22, 11:14 AM
That's what I would choose for my super power.
Posted by: Anon on September 22, 2008 11:36 AMYou do realize, of course, that said 4-year-old will now introduce the concept of fathers pooping waffles and peeing maple syrup to random other adults, with great glee and probably at the most inopportune time. If I had made that comment to *my* 4-year-old, I would expect the subject to come up with teachers and play-group moms for years to come. Thank God she doesn't know how to use a computer or cel phone yet.
Posted by: Jeff Darcy on September 22, 2008 11:44 AMMy kids are much more nefarious. They would wait until we had company over and then proceed to ask "Anyone want waffles?"
Also: Nerdy puns FTW!
Posted by: Sam on September 22, 2008 12:08 PMWith regard to the last one, if you want to pee maple syrup, try fenugreek pills. (If you were a nursing mother, that would make sense to you...)
Posted by: seadragon on September 22, 2008 2:00 PMomiGod! you had me at greatest love of all, and then the poop waffles and pee maple syrup made me laugh so hard I cried, suppose that's only because I too have a sincerely impatient kid and only wish I could be so witty during those times
Posted by: Sandi on September 22, 2008 2:16 PMI've got the peeing maple syrup thing taken care of (The price: I'm terminally diabetic), but I'm still working on the waffle poop.
Posted by: You can call me, 'Sir' on September 22, 2008 5:49 PMSo, I follow your Tweets fresh from the Twitter source, and my fave OS08P is that Joe Biden's middle name is discovered to be "Homomuslim." I was going to reply to your Tweet to let you know, but then I thought that would be weird, since I don't actually KNOW know you. Or rather, you don't know ME. Would that have been weird? I don't know. I read Maggie's Twitter Etiquette article, but I'm still fuzzy on the whole thing. Long story short, good work, my man; good work.
