Potent Quotables (Non-random quotes from this summer, provided with context)

[In my car, listening to Air Supply's Greatest Hits]

Jowen:

Air Supply are so good!

[Later...]

Jowen:

Were Air Supply considered, you know, a good band?

me:

No.

[Still later! As we are listening to a song that is not "Lost In Love", "All Out Of Love", "The One That You Love", "Even The Nights Are Better", or "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All"...]

Jowen:

Maybe Air Supply weren't that good a band.

Current Music: Air Supply - Lost In Love

Jowen's guest post: Laundry fresh

I,DW "Features Week" continues with another time-honoured tradition: the guest post. This one is by Jowen, one of my most frequent guest-posters. -- DW

I recently bought an air freshener for my office. It's one of those Glad Plugins that has five different smell strength settings. The only oil choices available were Hawaiian breeze and laundry fresh. I went with laundry fresh, but I should have chosen Hawaiian breeze so that I can wear a Hawaiian shirt, a lei, drink a pina colada and pretend that I'm working in Hawaii.

Now when people enter my windowless office, they are no longer greeted by the stale smell of sweaty bike clothes mixed with ass-on-chair sweat mixed with week old garbage. Instead they can enjoy the above smells mixed with fresh laundry. It's not much better.
