I went with my fiancee to her ten-year high school reunion this weekend. It was pretty painful, and it made me glad I didn't go to mine a couple of years ago. The high point was telling one of her obnoxious and drunk former classmates that I worked for Consolidated Cardboard when she asked me what I did for a living. The fiancee is a new-ish FOT, and it scored me some big brownie points.

Agreed.

I like to think so!

I say 'two way tie for last' with some regularity.

I constantly find myself wanting to say "What up, Buzz?" when I get a phone call.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

One of JW's awful characters kept saying, 'Later Days'. I don't remember which one or how many have said it.  I say it often enough to actually be disgusted with myself and amused at the same time.

Have you ever heard the full expression? I think it'd make you never say it again.

I'm sure I've heard it, I don't remember. Please refresh my memory if you would be so kind...the context is completely forgotten...

I try to work "persona au gratin" into at least one conversation per day...

Later days and better lays ... I don't know that it comes from anything in particular, but it seems like something a Dazed & Confused type high school stoner would say.

Or maybe write in your yearbook.

Oh, that is horrible...I seem to remember the first part as a throw away line John used on Tom trying to end a conversation, then Tom still curious, asks a question and the downward spiral ensues. Of course that could be any number of conversations...I honestly don't remember the second part. Also, the last time I had a yearbook was way too long ago...I had nice friends, they wouldn't have written something like that.

In a toast at my cousin's rehearsal dinner, I said, "When I first met [the groom], I didn't like him .... I loved him!"  It was worth it just for the face my mom gave me during the pause.  Oh, Mom.
