OK! I'm here! How come there aren't any bras burning in our Memorial trash can in the entrance? I could use a drink, but I don't see guohua or her staff around. Well, I can pour my own. Everybody in various private conversations, or can I slip into one?

That's quite all right, we're a loose and friendly bunch. I'm just a poor old man seeking comfort in his declining years, and I'm very grateful to you.
Seems a shame they didn't just burn a Walmart bra, the $2 kind. I wonder whose it was.
Thanks for the service, anything on tap conversationally, or will this be a quiet, restful night?

Good evening Fellow Hernando's, and Charles you do bring up a good point about the bras.
Perhaps it's time I head off in search of a bulk bra supplier. This way we can all get in on the festivities without the danger of accidentally tossing in our one "good" bra.
I'd Love an extra Hot Chocolate with a couple of spoons of shine for good measure.

@airen, @snarky412,
The subject of conversation is a tough one. A lot of my attention has been focused here, so Hernando's is high on my list, but maybe something else.
I tend to stop in the middle of a conversation and ask "What in the whirled does that mean?" I've done it for sayings like "Happy as a clam," "Hoist by his own petard," "Head over heels," and the like.
They're said all the time, but they're really strange if you stop to look at them. Where do they come from? What do they mean? Isn't "head over heels" how we're supposed to be?
Not to mention, "Why, butter my buns and call me a biscuit." There are some things I might not need to know.

I also have been confounded by "head over Heels" although now that I think of it seems to be referring to the kind of love that might cause a person to be distracted enough to fall down the stairs perhaps. I must admit that this has in fact happened to me once or maybe twice.
I am partial to "Hoist by his own petard", and in Hamlet refers the King (Claudius) being done in by his own plan to get rid of young Hamlet once and for all.

ETA; this might be entirely too much information but Shakespeare does use the word "petar" which would be flatulence , and not "petard" which would be a bomb.
