The evil is this way?
Because it's Reach Out and Verbally Spank a Stranger Day. Totally slipped my mind!
Well, on behalf of me and my co-workers, thanks!
I had nightmare visions of some insane person calling Tim at 4am to yell at him for killing Doyle.
Well then, can I call and yell at him for killing Tara? Or Jenny? Or any of the other Buffy characters?

iTunes is going to bankrupt me. It's not enough that I can buy and instantly have music at the push of a button, but it sends me off on Internet journeys that result in things like the following:
I want all of it. And I was only looking for performances of "Ebben? ... ne andro lontana".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was in college, a woman (student age) walked into the fast food pizza place where I was working wearing a t-shirt that said, "I only sleep with the best." Half a minute later her boyfriend walked in with a t-shirt that said, "The best."
I wanted to smack them both.

I would support that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wanted to smack them both.
Oh, I'd have laughed forever.
There's another tee I love, but there's another accessory I'd need first, since I wouldn't be the one wearing it.

A smile is your personal welcome mat.
My very first reaction was, "What, I'm suppose to let people walk on my face?"

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I wanted to smack them both.
Huh. I found that mildly amusing. I'd never actually do that, but I think it's kind of funny.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bwah!
It's a play on Joyce's line from Ullysses (which my college GF had on her t-shirt): The ineluctable modality of the visible.
Which means (in the context of the book): The inexpressible patterning of what we see. I think in that section of the book, the character is by the sea and has his eyes closed, but he's still "seeing" it in his mind. Joyce was just noting the primacy of vision in ordering how we conceive of things. t /pedantic
