Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So essentially...I should buy all my future music from Itunes? Is that where we are going?

If I only had a brain...

I got a new 17" flat panel monitor for Christmas. (Yea Christmas!)

It has three dead pixels. This used to be par for the course in manufacturing flat panels. Is it still, or should I return it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd return it.

First thing I learned from Google:

It seems that every manufacturer has their own policy, so find out what yours is....
