1. I didn't want to go to the meeting so I Brodered back and forth between my office and the lunch room for 15 minutes until it started. Then I didn't go because it would have been rude to show up late.
2. I didn't want to have hamburgers again today, so last night I Brodered all the propane away by leaving the barbeque running after I was done cooking.

Broder Daniel 

Broder Daniel were a swedish rock/pop band. They have a whole lot of fans in Sweden, and they've sort of built a culture there. They split up in 2008, mostly because the guitarist, Anders Göthberg, killed himself in march 2008. Broder Daniel's last concert was 8/8-08 at the swedish festival Way Out West. Recently (in july 2009) a documentary about Broder Daniel and their last concert came out, and it's called "Broder Daniel Forever". The singer in Broder Daniel's name is Henrik Berggren.

Famous songs:
Shoreline, When We Were Winning, Whirlwind, I'll be gone, Underground, No Time For Us.
Dude1: I listened to Broder Daniel last night.
Dude2: Me too, I love them and always will.

Germany: But that would create so much border gore!

Similar thoughts repeat frequently

Suicidal person: My family was murdered and I'm being framed for it....I'll go get my gun and end it right here. I'd better do it over the bridge so there's no mess. Just in case my life insurance pays out, I'll write a will to have it all donated to charity...

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
