1. Kevan: "It's a diagonal listening experience."
- The stereo in my van, Colossus, is on its way out. At the beginning of the trip, Travis and I realized only the front-right and back-left speakers were working. Best results came from sitting at an angle in the center of the van.
2. Travis: "Reduce speed ahead? But I just found out it's 70! That's cheap!"
- This one is pretty self-explanatory. He was really upset.
3. Travis: "Oh it's 70 again! ... And I have two trucks in front of me. Come on!"
4. Kevan: "I feel like we just went into hyper-drive!"
- When we passed trucks in the mountains. It was thrilling to me.
5. Travis: "I'm going to drive as unsafely as humanly possible."
- It's not true. We just wanted to sound hardcore.
6. Travis/Kevan: "No you can't! Don't do it, pretty girl! Don't do it! Stop tempting us, you maniacal wench!"
- Listening to a Lisa Mitchell song in which she says she's at the beach, so she can take off her blouse. Not okay, Lisa!
7. Kevan: "Oh this is the song where she plays harmonica and my heart melts!"
- Speaking of Lisa Mitchell again. What can I say - the girl can rock a mouth-harp.
8. Brie: "I like to eat philosophy for breakfast."
- She mentioned eggs with basil, and I thought she was referring to Blaise (common mis-acronym) Pascal. She informed me that indeed she was.
9. Brie: "Don't threaten someone with a shamash!"
- Brie caught Kelsey preparing to strike me with a Menorah candle.
10. Kevan: "We just pwned the Jews and their latkas."
- Well, we did! We had a Jewish recipe for latkas, a very tricky recipe in secret Yiddish code and everything. And Brie made it happen, schooling that recipe in the face.
11. Kevan: "I hate being bündledorfhed. I feel like a ball of cotton."
- Bündledorfhe: verb (boon-dal-dorf) to layer obnoxious amounts of clothing upon one's person for the purpose of warmth and survival.
12. Brie: "I threw down the dreydel and you threw down people."
- Brie was tearing it up in the dreydel game while Gabe was recording sweet harmonies in the other room... He gets violent when he sings.
13: Brie: "There's hot meat in the kitchen."
Kevan/Kelsey: "You're hot m..."
Kevan: "umm..."
Kelsey: "ew... not right."
- I'm just gonna leave that one where it is.
14. Kelsey: "Why don't we just hang Jewish people from the tree?"
- Discussing how to re-decorate the Christmas tree to be a Hanukkah tree. I don't think she meant all that that statement implies. Let's hope.
