Michelle Kwan-ing
I love in the Thanksgiving episode of Gilmore Girls when Rory questions if they’ll be able to eat so many dinners & Lorelai uses Michelle Kwan-ing as a verb to explain they won’t fail. Let me explain this Gilmoreism so we can all agree to say it, a lot. Michelle Kwan is a figure skater. She is the “most decorated figure skater in U.S. history” according to wikipedia. She won nine U.S. Championships & five World Championships.
I remember the 1998 Olympics very well. Everyone expected Michelle Kwan to take gold. In fact, after her last skate she pumped her arms up in the air because Michelle & everyone else thought that she had just won the gold medal. Instead, Tara Lipinski ended up with the gold & Michelle with the silver. Hence, the phrase Michelle Kwan-ing. I don’t say that nearly enough. Neither do other people.

Awhile back there was a meme going around where you would type your name + the word needs into google & it would tell you all kinds of interesting stuff about yourself. I’m creating a new meme/way of life via Gilmore Girls.
I am in love with the random quote thing at gilmore-ism.com. It has become kind of like the magic 8 ball for me. For instance, should I wear shoes today?
Here’s how to participate.
1. Go the random Gilmore Girls quote generator.

4. Tell me about what it said because I’m nosy that way.
I’ve always wanted the Gilmore’s to make all my decisions for me & now they can. I just have to decipher what it means, like a fortune cookie.
Read MoreMan robs store with cheese grater
When I saw this headline for Man Robs Station with Cheese Grater, I immediately thought of the “Lorelai out of Water” episode. I think this is the episode where Rory & Lane are helping the Korean cousin get ready for the wedding & they talk about how some of the arranged marriages didn’t work out so well. In fact one overbearing husband was peeled with a carrot peeler. That’s a bad way to go.
It turns out that the people at the robbery just thought that the cheese grater was a gun. (Ummmm I’ve never stolen anything & I never will but the closet thing this guy could find to a gun shape is a cheese grater?) My imagination for the cheese grater headline were much better. I thought maybe word of the Gilmore Girls peeling incident had spread and people were now afraid of cheese graters.
