--In memory of the late great Tracy-doggie :P

"Hush, puppy!"
--A kinder, gentler way to say it

AOL Instant Messenger and Email Gems

"My man ain't no hick, girly."
--For future reference...never name one of Matt's alter-egos Clyde, Cletus, Earl, etc.

"All these updates they do...give us some more damn smiley faces to represent our torrid emotions over cyberspace!"

You know what's bad? If you misstype 'bowling', you get 'blowing' =-O

--After dashing half a block through icy temperatures to retrieve her laptop from the UPS guy, she still chose to attend Movie Night!

"Second, I am concerned for the well-being of family dynamics in this modern and fast paced, dehumanizing, internet age. It's sad that your own sister, dwelling in the same habitat as you, has to IM you to tell you something instead of walking upstairs to impart the news in person."
