"(St. Louis) Cardinals officials expressed sadness at the news (that a pitcher died while drunk driving) and said the team will re-examine what it can do to warn players of the dangers of drinking and driving. "I think it's probably a wake-up call to everybody," general manager Walt Jocketty said at a news conference at Busch Stadium. "The one thing they have to understand is they're not invincible."
- CNN News Article, pisisng me off.  First of all, should they really need to warn GROWN MEN about the dangers of drinking and driving??  Second of all, isn't it kind that they're having this press conference from the stadium SPONSORED by the company that probably made the alcohol he drank


"Well first of all, in 5 years you will be married to Christina Aguilera, and Claire would know that."

"I just want you to know I feel terrible."

A whole bunch of great birthday wishes.
- Lots of nice people


"You should ask Ross how he did on his driver's test.  In his words, he failed before it began.  The tester said to move the car out back, and he did, but apparently to the wrong spot.  So the tester told Ross where to move it, and in the process he backed into another car.  Isn't exactly conducive to passing a driver's test."
- David Brummet, proud father of someone who will not be driving in Arizona for a while

"Did they then call him 'Little Bo Pee'?"
- Jim Grodzielanek, asking about the quotation below


"My nephews still shower with their parents sometimes, so when my brother Bo went to visit they wanted to shower with him too.  Ian was almost 5 and Cullen was turning 3 and they kept begging, so Bo let them shower with him.  They were all in the shower and then Ian and Cullen started peeing on Bo!  He couldn't yell for help since he was in the shower, so he was telling them to stop, but that just made them laugh more and pee harder."

- MC Wolfe, not exactly exacting revenge on her ex

Santa"

March 2007

"Why didn't you come and audition for me??  I have a perfect part for you."

"Whatever you do, don't let him take your sandbag."
- Pitrick Haine, in an improv scene which I'm going to try to describe to you.  We were playing "Advice Parrot" where there's two people in a scene who have parrots (who clearly talk in parrot voices) and basically have to do what the parrots tell them to do.  Nishita and Greg were in the scene, Patrick was Nishita's parrot and Nick was Greg's parrot.  Greg and Nishita were on their honeymoon after dating for 7 years and they were on a hot air balloon ride...  haha...  Okay - and then Patrick is like "Whatever you do, don't let him take your sandbag" and then...  haha...  Nick was like, "Take her sandbag!!"  So then...  haha...  Greg reaches over, unties her sandbag, and puts it in his pocket...  haha...  Then says, "Good thing I have this jetpack" and then flies away with his parrot!!  And then Patrick is like, "<braaagh> Good thing I can fly!!" and then he flies away and Nishita's left on a hot air balloon alone...  Which, haha, since it's missing one sandbag CLEARLY will never return to earth...  hahahahaha

- Lindsay Hendrickson, enjoying the Justin Timberlake concert from the front row

- MC Wolfe, taking care of important things


"Never say you are better than KangTa. No one is better than KangTa. Infact, KangTa beat Jesus Christ in ping pong. That's how awesome he is."
- Danielle Lucovich / Kyeong Hwa, rebuttaling about how awesome some Korean pop-singer is.  Did they even have Koreans when Jesus was alive??  It shouldn't count if KangTa was just playing ping pong against a Crucifix


"I'm doing alright. I had a wonderful nap inside my sleeping bag (so I didn't have to re-make my bed...)"
- Caitlin McLaren, who doesn't understand the benefits of never making your bed

"It was really foggy out this morning, huh?  I was driving to work today in the fog, and I thought, 'I hope a kangaroo doesn't jump out.'  Yeh, I have too much time to think."
- Frescia Palacyos, thinking about something that I have never, ever thought about (and randomly turning to tell me about it)


"Sorry.  I have no idea what's going on."

What I felt: I was insulted that the robber didn't want anything from my room, nor did he try to silence me in fear that I could fight back.  My response: Sit up in bed and wait for Deter to apologize and close my door.  Fortunately it was just Michelle

- Diana Mendes, refusing to motivate her boyfriend to clean his room through punishment

"I kept wondering if my movie ratings would be better if I made some of my guys more feminine looking. You know? You can give them women's haircuts and stuff.

"Did he say anything about me??"
- Tiny Tim, asking in such an obnoxious way if someone's last words included him, in El Modena High School's production of "Urinetown."  I think I'm going to ask that question whenever I hear someone died


"Ryan and I got home at 6am on Thursday morning. I had been driving ALL night, was exhausted, and we both passed out. Like, not even an hour later, I woke up and started freaking out when I saw a man asleep in my bed. I was like, "Holy crap, what did I do!?!?!"

"I love explosive smilies...  What does this one mean?? :-$ I have a money mouth?... I like to eat cash?...  I'm so rich that I actually eat bills instead of lettuce?!?!  The money is so delicious."
- Lindsay Lusk, learning how to express herself


"MC says we have to sell the baby pinatas."
- Nick McGee, telling me what MC learned after playing our new video game, Viva Pinata (a game where you have a garden and try to attract pinatas to live in it...  Oh, selling the babies doesn't attract more, it gives you money to buy things to attract more)


"My wife is a very nice woman, very sweet, and very funny.  She always used to do everything for me, but now I have to do most of it on my own.  I think it's because of her womanchange."

"That was pretty bad.  I have to be honest.  But nice try."
- Kristen Gull, responding to my comment of, "Don't burn your hair ribbons.  Use them to invent dirtyless clothes!" (Violet Baudelaire from "A Series of Unfortunate Events" ties her hair before inventing), after she said she was going to burn her clothes in college.  Kristen is mean (right??)


February 2007

"I agree that style #3 may be the best suited for my grass-skirt needs. I don't know that I would consider the area from my waist to my knees a high traffic area or a play area, but I do a lot of sitting and standing...  But also the lower density of type 3 might allow for more freedom of movement."
- M.C. Wolfe, choosing a type of artificial turf for a grass skirt from the website I upgraded

"Remember this - you too will die and become a ghost."
- A Really Funny Video, that you can find right here (I hope)

- M.C. Wolfe, fearing very rationally


"I can't stop you.  You're not my prisoner."

- Allan Sampson, explaining to me the benefits of having my own fish


"Is Burbank Airport so small that the planes need to take off straight up?...  Since it's near Hollywood, I'd suspect it's not a real airport at all. It's just a bunch of plywood flats painted to look like an airport.  And then you don't take flights. They just pitch exciting flight plots to you, telling you how this one or that one would be a perfect Marlon Wayans vehicle, and try to get you to sign a six figure option on them."
- Allan Sampson, getting logically prepared for our trip

"Mom has a real thing against pinatas...  Just thought you should know...   I dunno why...  She just has a thing with them...

'Oh yeah?!? Just WATCH me withdraw and see how long you hold out. I know you don't want to see me do the shakes!' You know? Tricky situation.

- Allen Cade, going to the wrong place to pick up chicks; going to the right place to pick up rebels


"My essay is about free traits and their benefits and costs to an individual referring to any 2 the the big 5...  You're right that's boring, it's actually about dragons... And how they are better than sharks...  My thesis statement is "dragons rule" and the rest will be pictures of rad dragons."

"Oh, hey old person...  I knew you were coming 'cause I could smell rot."
- Gabriela Raynia, giving an example of how to improperly say hello to an old person (she didn't ACTUALLY say this to someone...  yet)


"Keep your checked luggage to 50 lbs or less... And original manuscripts are not covered in lost luggage so leave that novel at home.  Thank god they allow dry ice in checked luggage as long as your luggage clearly says "Dry Ice" or "Carbon Dioxide, Solid" on the outside. 'Did you pack your luggage yourself?'
'I did. It's all dry ice.  50 lbs of it. I'd pack more dry ice but you have some kind of 50 lb limit.'
Then they'd tell me how the limit is actually five pounds, and I'd FREAK... And I'd be, 'Think Sampson. You need to ditch 45 lbs of dry ice in ten minutes.' Five minutes later the airport bathroom
would look like a haunted graveyard.
"
- Allan Sampson, planning our upcoming trip... sort of


"Can you hand me a pizza?  Can you hand me that hot pizza, Daily? "
- Michelle Pinkney, talking to me while I was on the couch...  I think she MEANT to say, "Can you hand me that pillow?  Can you hand me that soft pillow, Jamie?"  Deter and I both witnessed this, then asked her what the heck happened, to which she responded, "He knew what I was talking about."  To which I responded, "MY NAME ISN'T DAILY!!"  I STILL have no idea what the heck happened

"My mother likes to call and tell me things like 'The geese have come back for the winter' or 'I'm afraid the flowers won't do well with the fluctuating weather' or 'There was a little girl in a restaurant today and her name was Lucy.' She also likes to call when she fears I may be trapped by wild fires, snowed in without a heater or swept into the ocean by a mud slide. She has little notion of the size or geographical features of California and any news broadcast of doom featuring any area of the state strikes fear in her heart. She does not however call to tell me things like my dog was killed by coyotes or a leg amputation may be imminent."
- M.C. Wolfe, benefiting from the telephone


"I guess I have to be more careful with the emails that I send to you. You’re such a good employee; you see everyone’s flaws and mistakes."
- Kirsten Kaasen, graciously thanking me and my eye for detail (I was going to compliment her use of a semi-colon, but I didn't want her to get a big head)


"You have to pretend some kind of paperwork you were doing tickled you... or there was a typo and it was hilarious...  Like when Mr. Morton in highschool was trying to write annual and kept writing anal on the board...  multiple times...  It was more awkward than funny...  The first time was kinda funny, then after we were like... is he serious?"
- Lindsay Foster, recounting the value of high school

"If you pass Hatteras, your car will self-destruct."
- Michelle Rivera, raising the stakes on navigation (good thing bombs weren't invented when Christopher Columbus was alive...  We might all be starring in a Mel Gibson movie now)


"You're not supposed to have an erection when a guys sits on your lap."
- Nate Makaryk, talking to a still-learning and/or gay Allen Cade


"I went to a party with my boyfriend - he was thirteen, I was twelve... "
- Girl To Be Named Later, which right after I laughed really loudly because I imagined what kind of a happening party a 13 and 12-year-old would have.  Turns out her 13-year-old boyfriend started shooting up and it wasn't funny.  What WAS funny was the girl screwed her lines up - they were supposed to be older - and everyone was consoling her during intermission because "of the guy in the front who laughed when she screwed up her lines"


"This is going to sound like a rudimentary question, but I was wondering if you know where the phone jack in my apartment is."
- Jim Sindele, calling me at 9:50PM because his phone was disconnected and he couldn't find the phone jack...  Sucks to be old


"Thank you for your forgiveness."
- Darren Levens, during our conversation about how I was uncast in "Urinetown"...  Incidentally, I responded to this statement with, "I didn't actually forgive you so much as I didn't hang-up on your during this conversation."  I love being nice


"I believe I get advanced stage four metastatic ovarian cancer starting Feb. 8th. It will progress for two weekends with Saturday matinees as well as evenings. If you can make it to witness my death, let me know so I can say Hi afterwards."
- Renee Curtis, already coming to terms with the fact that she'll die from ovarian cancer (in her show "W;t")

"A shout?  Who do you think you are?  Carson Daly?"
- Kristen Gull, after I used slang to tell her I'd call her later


"You don't even need to come to call backs tomorrow because I have a role for you already."
- Darren Levens, director for "Urinetown," giving me a part in a musical...  hahaha!!  Me in a musical!!  Jamie Scheel in a musical!!  The same guy who had to re-start singing "We Are The Champions" at Grade 8 graduation 3 times while everyone melted in the hot gym 'cause he was so off-key...  haha...  Musical!!


"Oh, that...  Umm, I just got it - don't worry, I haven't used it."
- Chelsea Brummet, after I learned a very important lesson: sometimes when you're in other people's vehicles and you go to open the door and you look in the spot where your hand goes and you say, "Hey, that looks like a thing of Visine" and you pick it up, it actually isn't Visine at all, instead it's KY Jelly...  So, yeh


"With all their beady little eyes, and flapping heads so full of lies... Blame Canada!"
- Nate Makaryk, a very pleasant drunk, "singing" into my left ear while sort of dry humping me from behind and rubbing my arm


"I just wish my flag-football team was younger and hotter... haha!... I'm selfish, I know!... Ugly, old people need to have fun too!"
- Amber Bartlett, putting the "I" in "Team"

"Ryan probably wouldn't even tell me he was injured until he got home because he wouldn't want to worry me. My grandfather turned down the Purple Heart twice in WWII so he wouldn't worry his family."
- Katy Benko, whose husband and grandfather strike a very stark contrast to me and the letters I would write home if I were in a war: "War is terrible... My knee is bleeding. I tripped on my way to get my morning coffee. I don't know how much of this I can take. Be strong."


"Dear Jamie Scheel,  It has come to our attention that your appearance on a daily basis in the office environment is sloppy and could use improvement.  We understand your issues with cleanliness, which is why the problem has not been brought up before.  However, other employees have been complaining, and we realize something must be done about it before your stink takes up the entire building.  We appreciate your prompt attention to the matter."
- Barbara Williams (Manager of Awesomeness) In Conjunction With Miles Taber (Supervisor of Cool), sending me a fax at work which only 3-4 people read before I did


"Carniorous animals will not eat another animal that has been hit by a lightning bolt."
- Strong, Absorbent Trivia For The Toilet, which I got in my stocking for Christmas (yes, Santa knows how long I spend on the toilet too), making me realize it's too bad those kids who came across Jeffrey Dahmer didn't climb trees with forks and knives in their hands during thunderstorms


"I'm going to harass you."
- Abe Rosh, giving me a courtesy that many people wish they had


"I love your ears...  You have amazing ears."
- Enrique Munoz, being the first person to compliment my ears right before he became the first person to touch them for more than 45-seconds


So many different things from Shmimprov are my quote today.
- Potentially Bad Grammar, providing today's Quote of Jamie's Day


"You'll like your new desk... It's big and you'll have a new place to make messy."
- Gerdy Bill, who apparently knows exactly what my plans are

"Let's hope she took al ot of sweaters, 'cause it gets cold."
- Frescia Palacyos, after I told her one of our former clients moved to Russia


"We're talking on the phone today... and he's crying so hard I can barely understand him. He walks out of his room (while still on the phone) and runs to his mom and says "Mom <sob, sob>... She's breaking up <sob, sob> with me <sob sob>"...   I swear he almost put her on the phone... Then he gets back on the phone with me...says (between sobs) he has nothing else to say... and hangs up!"
- Jessica Kausen, proving that breaking up is hard to do (if you're a wussy)

"I think I love how your brain works...  Can we base a marriage on that?"
- Alicia Bialek, reflecting how girls between the ages of 20 and 24 should all feel...  Sorry, ladies, the only thing I can base a marriage on is you being Christina Aguilera


"Yep...  I was wearing my sissy little girl dress."
- Topher Mauerhan, after I accused him of being a wussy because he went to bed before 1AM one night
