I'll start things out:

Harry war nicht mit, natürlich nicht. "Harry wasn't with me -- of course not."

From Alte Liebe by Elke Heidenreich und Bernd Schroeder, the novel I am currently in the process of translating.

It would appear that soft, smooth, silky, sailing is in store for me.

"The road-cutting equipment consisted of three identical four-wheeled wagons, each perhaps two yards wide and three long, spaced side to side in the bay."
(L E Modesitt, Jr, Cadmian's Choice.)

ahem. might as well be German for all it reveals.

"Alas, my own hand feels as light as a feather." -- J.R.R. Tolkein, The Return of the King

Gotta hate it when your hand goes numb.

"Like an machine, our bodies required constant daily upkeep."

Sounds like a lot of selfloving, which is to be expected, I guess.

"Call here every time and call down unless the board gets very scary"

I'm not very good at converting poker strategy into sex talk, someone can do it for me.

Edit: I think I figured it out. I'm going to call sex hotlines very frequently from work... unless the board starts getting suspicious of my phone bills.

"Einstein again used perturbation theory, as he had done with his calculations for Mercury, and found that the light ray should be bent by an angle of 1.75 arc seconds toward the sun."
- From Reinventing Gravity: A Physicist Goes Beyond Einstein, by John W. Moffatt

I guess "perturbation" is close enough...

There's a book shelf right next to my desk, so instead of grabbing the closest book, I just blindly reached over and grabbed the first book that touched my fingertips..

"Integrity is a hard-won achievement."

Hmm. So, I'll work hard to achieve sexual integrity? I guess that's a good thing. lol

Oh, and the book was 'Developing the Leader Within You' by Dr. John Maxwell.

Heh-heh. You said "hard one." Heh-heh.

"This document is arguably the most important in the entire process because it can convince the executives that hold the purse strings to move forward with the project-or, of course, to stop the project in its tracks."

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 - Unleashed. (SAMS)

Hmmmmm... now I have to document ahead of time.. ugh. 😉

Thanks for making me laugh out loud, Shawn! As Finny said last night, this thread could be epic if we got more participation.
