This is a list of things that people have said. Some are funny (some are probably just funny to me) and at least one is relatively poignant. Also, this is what we call a temporary layout. Once I get my shit together, I'll fix this up nice-style.
Furthermore, there are certain of these quotes marked with an asterisk. If you're not a D&D player, you probably won't get them and you can probably skip them. Thank you.

On umbrage... (taken from a post at www.gamerswithjobs.com)

pasty, androgynous beings would descend upon you and challenge you to a duel
of honor."

king or whatever...but...so what?"
On the fifth degree...
Angela: "I love the [Home Depot]."
Laura: "Well, Home Depot is a bad thing, in this case. It is like...fifth-degree
Tool-ism."
On clever turns of phrase...
Græme: "Am I the only one who thinks referring to [Market Basket
cashiers] as 'front-end personnel' is sort of like referring to someone as 'Queen
of the Hobos?'"
On faerie tales...
