“Ja! Goodbye Pants!” And Other Pointless One Liners From The (Email) Crypt

For reasons I can’t quite get into right now, I’ve spent this morning sorting through my personal emails. I don’t think I’ve deleted an email in over a year due to a delightful mix of laziness and syrupy sentimentality. It’s either that or a paranoid desire to be prepared in case anyone sues me for, erm, anything. Certainly not sexual harassment. I don’t do that on email… all that often. Hush.

I started the long and arduous process of deciding which emails to keep and which to bin just after reading Ms Fits’ post this morning which contained one liners overheard in a hospital. Heh. Stuff out of context can be quite charming.

As I ploughed through my mail, it struck me - my friends, colleagues, my friend’s colleagues who enjoy indulging in reply all fests and yes, even the random strangers who have sent me emails over the past few months - the entire lot are quite an insane bunch.

“What would happen if I just grabbed one line from all the emails I’m about to delete?” I wondered to myself, before flirtatiously adding “By the way, Jess - you look real pretty today. Have you done something with your hair?”

I smiled girlishly at myself, looking rather winsome and leaning forward to show myself a little cleavage.

“Oh me!” I replied, all giddy and doe-eyed with the flush of youthful coquetry, “I always know just what to say to make me feel good about myself.” Before I knew it, I found my hand wandering…

HEY!

Welcome back!

So anyway, here are random one-liners grabbed out of context from assorted emails I’ve received over the past year.

BONUS GAME FOR THE KIDDIES: Can you guess who said which line? Only a few quotes are from bloggers but it’ll be interesting to see if their writing style is instantly recognisable.


Tough rep, tough name. I make no apologies.

Imagine if he really did laugh, as they say, out loud, upon writing that he would not give the answers. Just laughed out loud to himself at the dastardly nature of that particular refusal.

My brain has gotten smaller to accommodate Titanic quantities of snot.

Hayden, even though I love the man, he is just not using his feet and has no idea against the swinging ball..

fight: molly ringwald. she’d go down with one bitch slap to the head.

Sharks with super powerful motors would be a huge threat. Lets hope it never happens.*

YOU HAVE HAD AMPLE TIME TO ORGANISE THIS, JESSAMIE/DUMBFUCK.

Now that girl is having hot sex dreams with me. So hot right now. Or so hot last year..

i build people up. it’s what i do. i don’t apologise for making him feel like heaven.

And I get the feeling that no matter where they honeymoon, it will be in close vicinity to an establishment bearing the sign “all you can eat”

this morning on my way to work as I was thinking how hilarious we are, I decided we should write a book about Jason and Gina De’Kliner… all I need now is a plot

does the p.s. (post script) come before the epilogue. i so hope so (otherwise, disregard / rearrange)

i know these were in the spirit of the evening, or perhaps i have a woefully skewed sense of self image - BUT - these are possibly the most unflattering photos ever taken of any of these people in their lives.

rock ‘n’ roll (add rock on hand jestjure)

Open non-sexual marriages are the new black!

But alas! These boils doth trouble me so, and it is with dire regret that I must hand you the reigns to my typeset steed.

Ja. Goodbye pants!

Soy. Soy lattes.

i’ll keep at it until it withers away / leads to massive international celebrity, One Billion Dollars etc.

OH HOW I LAUGHED OVER MY CORNFLAKES.

Please don’t do this to me during working hours. They don’t encourage frigging in the office.

Im glad you are defending the country mate, working on hi tech stuff and all, but it would be good if you could spell E L E C T R O N I C S!!

My orang-utan’s name is Annie, she is four years old and she has red hair.

I love the friendship.. You live around the corner and I still haven’t seen you. PS. I don’t smoke

priceless. Tom Cruise is a nutjob.

they have to photograph him every day, because he’s expanding at an exponential rate! soon he’ll need his own building where he can have freed refugee children run around while he occasionally grabs one with his little tyrannosaurus arms and stuffs them into his mouth.

I get a bit concerned that Ms Fits is not suitable for viewing at work.

Ha! The smaller one is totally so small you can’t even see it, but I’m doing the old hands-behind-back-pushing-out-the-chest pose, with a saucy look on my face. Heheh…

lazy lazy cow. i didn’t even WANT to have this party!

I have no qualification and no experience but I am an extremely quick learner and a very good worker.

Imagine, right, if I’d cooked you up an individual eel pie when you came for dinner? And I hadn’t made Jim or myself any, due to there being insufficient eels - and I insisted you eat it???? WOULD this not be hilarious.

P.p.s The rest of you are rubbish with deformed genitals.

He is clearly a paedophile. And one without an opinion.

if you can get me an autograph/photo/used coke can i will give you my first born.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha it’s all about the cans isn’t it…. Actually your massive rack does leave me feeling sometimes a little…. Something….

I was definitely a strong part of the BB community and everyone admired me and felt I was great. Obviously.

Hey Slag, what up in the hood?

I was waiting for nudity, I didn’t care about the cards. I just wanted a big pair of b00b5 on the screen and it didn’t happen. I don’t like David Copperfield anymore.

I can’t not use that LOL phrase when typing. it’s an absolute reflex action these days. like Eddie McGuire being smug or Tom Cruise sending lightning bolts through Oprah’s veins. Just comes naturally.


*Actually, I lie. This wasn’t a quote from an email but rather a text message I received on Saturday from Booky. But it made me laugh and I wanted an excuse to put it online.

I got a few such as Taw, Ol, Fits and Will. Shattered that I couldn’t pick any from Nads, I guess it’s just not to be.

The monkey belongs to our very own TV’s KB, while the Titanic amounts of snot, I’m guessing they are Fluffy’s.

Close, but no monkey cigar

Annie the orang-utan is indeed my evil helper monkey. She saves time for me by brushing my teeth while I sleep, though I am convinced she plots against me.

The Titanic brain snot was also mine…I was pretty sure the turn of phrase seemed Televisionesque, but it took an Advanced Find in my Outlook folders to confirm it.

Huzzah Miss Jelly.

oh dear. apologies to fluffy. I knew it was from someone who I’d heard use it also. fluffy, I do not wish to imply that you are in any way snotty.

I reckon lots are from Fop and Nadine.

God, commenting on this post is like, so one week ago. Bah.

Pretty sure I used the term ‘nutjob’ on Young Mister L.Ron-lovin’ Cruise.
