Ariel Meadow: Yeah, I’ve got a leaden rock of oily noodle and fried tofu in mine.
Patrick: Gross.
Ariel Meadow: Thai: the new Chinese!
Patrick: Leaden, oily rock — that ain’t good.
Ariel Meadow: Yeah, maybe I should come and insincerely vomit in your cube?
Ariel Meadow: “Hey Patrick, I don’t REALLY mean this but: BLEAAAAAAGHHHH.”
Patrick: “Sorry, Ariel, but I just didn’t believe you in that vomiting.”
Patrick: “Project more.”
Ariel Meadow: Or I could do the quotation marks finger gestures while vomiting.
Ariel Meadow: ” Barf ”
Patrick: That I’d like to see.
Patrick: “Look, I’m ‘vomiting.’”
Ariel Meadow: Ironic vomiting.
Patrick: Greatest idea ever
Ariel Meadow: I’m, like, “puking.”

Hilarity! Those quotes can be mighty powerful. I learned my lesson early, taking cues from “Say Anything” (”Diane Court woe”). My boy and I play fast and loose with the air quotes. Perfectly normal sentences are made fresh, giving an innocent statement like “I can’t wait to see your new ‘car’” a gleefully mean makeover.
