Quotable quotes for the night

Having just come from a nice night out with friends, I'm left with this silly looking smirk on my face. It's a residue of all the laughs I had with them over coffee. Let me share three quotable quotes right here:

Quote 1: "My dad looks like Mr. Hobbes." That was already rephrased. I was referring to how my dad almost looked like the father character in the Calvin and Hobbes comics. Hmm, I had a Jessica Simpson moment right there.

Quote 2: "Si Beyonce parang bituka." My friend, Don, was talking about how Beyonce's dancing looked like to him in her Crazy in Love music video. By bituka, I think he meant "uod" or "worm" in English. You know, she was crawling, rolling, and turning about on wet cement. You get the idea.

Quote 3: "What? Gyrating?" That was a classic. We were ranting about how women don't promote girl power by dressing in skimpy outfits and gyrating/dancing in a lot of the media we see nowadays. That was Don's reply to my question when I said, "Girls only objectify themselves when they dress and dance that way. Why do girls even do that?" He apparently selectively heard that gyrating part alone. I didn't even know how to respond to his reply. Miko and I almost fell off our seats laughing.

I would've wanted to stay out later, but all this talk about car jacking has made me wary about driving around late at night. What has the world come to?
