I'm friendly. I live in downtown Boston and share my life with![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
bowmaniac, aka Seatmate. My journal is almost entirely public. You're welcome to stick around, with or without comment. No bigots, please.
quotations of the moment:
Jessamyn: Everyone on MeFi is either irritable or irritating and many of us are both.
Jon Gosselin: [helping kids toast and eat marshmallows] Bite it off!
Joel: But it's on fire.
Mark "Bird" Fidrych: [on pitching in the major leagues] I'm holding the ball. If I don't throw the ball, they gotta wait. That's power. That's unbelievable power.
Murray Burns: If things aren't funny then they're exactly what they are, and then they're like a long dental appointment.
Anonymous: Let's face it, the whole pairing off thing is just a matter of finding someone with reciprocal crazy.
Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Bob Errey: [on air during a Penguins-Capitals game] The Pens beat the Caps six out of seven times they met in the playoffs. Suck on that.
Paul Steigerwald: [awkward pause] Tonight's attendance is...
Dominik Hasek: [after tripping Marian Gaborik] I didn't want to break my shutout.
Seatmate: I've read the Potter books and they were harmless books, perfectly fine to pass the time with. But that's as far as I go. I wasn't in a store at midnight with a wizard hat and a wand.
Mulder: Will you let me drive?!
Scully: I'm driving! Why do you always have to drive? Because you're the guy? Because you're the big macho man?
Mulder: No. I was just never sure your little feet could reach the pedals.
Sandy Koufax: Pitching is the art of instilling fear.
Anonymous: [on Nolan Ryan] He was a bad-ass Texas rancher with a bionic arm from God[.]
Anonymous: I'm homeschooling and it's going pretty good.
Matt: [on gay marriage on the ballot] Can I vote on your marriage?
Toby Zeigler: What, do you want to tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing?
Nina Totenberg: [to then-Senator Alan Simpson] You're a bitter and evil man and all your colleagues hate you.
Darren McCarty: Don't ever do that again. Back down before I beat you with an ice skate.
