Co-Worker: Aw, man. I saw the grossest thing last night. We were watching the Food Channel--
TDS {interrupting}: Were they making pancakes?

While sitting at work:

9:05am
TDS:  Hey!  We can order lunch today!
Me:    Sure.
TDS:  Not now.  But later we can order lunch.
Me:    Absolutely, what would you like?
TDS:  We don't have to order lunch.

The Dowd Syndrome

The Dowd Syndrome is a chronicle of the bizarre and hilarious things said by one of my co-workers.  While a genuinely sweet and awesome person, her superpower seems to be the singular ability to take even the most pedestrian conversation/topic/sentence and infuse it with the most deliciously rich tangents the human brain can barely fathom.

I could set up this site more, but I'll never do her justice, so in the words of the Dowd:

"I don't think I'll see a psychic again for at least ten years... or maybe June."
