I forgot to add another saying that's frequently flung around inside our house:

"Light/Get/Strike a match!" or its corollary "Light it!!!" Aw crap, dammit Charlie - NOW you have me swept all the way back to college and this house in which I tended to hang out, all the time. There weren't any sororities or fraternities, but on-campus dorms and "houses" instead, and of course the off-campus crowd. I wound up pretty much "living" in my then-boyfriend's room that he rented from this house in one of the school's adjacent neighborhoods. One of the housemates specialized in blue-flaming. I can remember laughing until I choked! Sometimes it literally hurt. I have such an infantile sense of humor sometimes.

What did I learn in college? I learned about radio, pot, sex, and blue flames!
