Quote scramble solutions
Okay, here we go. If you still want to play, look at the previous post before this one...
Answers:
A) "There's this gal at work who's been real sick with the dizziness, and nausea, and headache - the doctor told her it's from burning the candle, you know? Because she works 6-7 days a week at the switchboard, and there's three or four other places she works too ... you shouldn't go to all those concerts."
1. my dad. The great thing about this is I'd estimate it's 95% likely the "gal at work" is fictional. Dad likes to back up his opinions by pretending they actually come from some sort of expert. I also appreciated the tenuous connection between the anecdote and his main point.
B) "I'm, um, just gonna go over here."
5. 10-year-old niece. Said nervously as she scuttled away when it became apparent that I was in danger of throwing up. This was during the Kenosha week of sickness. Nothing but fun, kids!
C) "It's Shrek and Fiona's castle in Far Far Away!"
9. 2-year-old nephew Jack, upon entering church on Christmas Eve.
D) "I don't need to see her boobs while she's cooking. That's an awfully low cut shirt. And I don't like that music they play, either. That doesn't sound like cooking music."
2. my mom, regarding Giada De Laurentiis' cooking show on the Food Network, which she hates. Points to Gina for guessing who the quote was about with no background info. Well, "that skinny woman with the giant bobblehead" was her exact quote, but we both knew she was right.
E) "If Mr. T and Laura Ingalls had a baby, that's what he would look like."
3. older sister Jaki. Regarding her son Miles, after it was independently observed that he reminded people of both Mr. T and Melissa Gilbert.
F) "I didn't say that! I didn't say 'The adults are allowed to eat in the living room, but not you!'" I didn't! I said ... I said ... 'The adults are allowed to eat in the living room, but not chew!'"
7. 4-year-old nephew, narrowly escaping punishment with an amazing display of backpedaling after smarting off to my future brother-in-law on Christmas Eve. We all know what he said, but come on. That's some quick thinking for a 4-year-old to come up with a plausible rhyme.
G) "These boots are made for walkin, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!"
8. 2-year-old nephew Miles, singing on Christmas Eve. I was baffled as to why he'd be singing Nancy Sinatra tunes, but apparently it's in some montage in a Shrek movie. Mystery solved.
H) "Maybe we could play head to head! If I get the game. And if I get my grades up."
6. 9-year-old nephew, after noticing that I got a Nintendo DS for Christmas. He was all excited, then subsequently remembered the obstacles he will have to overcome before he can play his Nintendo DS again.
I) "They should round up all the homeless people and have them shovel. And give them, like, three really great meals during that day."
4. friend Lindsey, after I told her how crappy some of the residential sidewalks in Chicago were with all the snow. Merry Christmas!

I thought for sure "I'm gonna go over here" was your friend Lindsey, but that may have been a holdover from the "resignation" incident.
And oh yeah, I knew you were talking about Giada too. Her recipes are great, though!
Yeah, Giada made some cupcakes the other day that I'd love to try. And ha, you're right - Lindsey probably did say something very similar to that during the "resignation" incident.
