"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

It just seems highly weird to me that she'd go through this cloak-and-dagger stuff to conceive by the guy, and then angrily hit him with a child support lawsuit when she herself is a doctor and presumably not hurting for cash.

Asking for child support forces the father to admit that he is the father and also provides an 18 year relationship with the man. It's not necessarily about the money. She could have impregnated herself to make sure that the guy would always be around (in some fashion).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hm. Not to blaspheme wildly or anything, but what if Mary had said no to that angel who wanted to get all "we know eachother" with her?

I have no idea what it means, really, but I feel all distinguished.

Or, wait, maybe that's undercaffeinated.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well, we don't know for sure that Mary was the first one asked.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm so not a wildcard. Pfft.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Now I'm imagining a rebellious late teenage girl shaking her fist and saying "If you knock me up, I'm naming the kid Beast and getting three sixes tatooed on him for his first birthday!"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm thinking it's really irritating to be subjected to "And then Wayne Brady said!" sort of conversations in the vicinity.

Not half as annoying as all the "I'm Rick James, Bitch!"s that I heard out of really loud junior high/high school kids on public transportation back when that first hit the zeitgeist.

It's a good question. What if her HMO had a good Psychiatric plan.

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

Not half as annoying as all the "I'm Rick James, Bitch!"s that I heard out of really loud junior high/high school kids on public transportation back when that first hit the zeitgeist.

Well, naturally. "Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch??!?" is so much funnier.

My manager just almost fell over.

Also, if it's not said quietly it completely misses the point of the joke, so inherently it's less acoustically annoying.
