I love in the Thanksgiving episode of Gilmore Girls when Rory questions if they’ll be able to eat so many dinners & Lorelai says “We are not Michelle Kwan-ing this.” 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? The random quote generator comes up with:

LORELAI: Really? You don’t get breaks? Do you get food, water? Should I get Michael Moore on the phone?

Here’s how to participate.

1. Go the random Gilmore Girls quote generator.

2. Ask a question.

3. Read the random Gilmore Girls quote.

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.

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 arrange 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 imaginations 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.

If I was a good blogger I would just go look up this fact. Well first I would look up the name of the guy who plays Christopher so I didn’t keep calling him Christopher. I’m not that good of a blogger.

However, isn’t Christopher the guy in the end of Under the Tuscan Sun who is like Diane Lane’s dream boat? At least he is someone’s dream boat.
