I prefer to call it "being from the 3rd world." I have had many nummy Girl Guide cookies (which are very different from what y'all have here), but where in hell would I find a Girl Scout?
But you've been in this country for years now.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Also, I was a Girl Scout. So if anyone asks, you're all set.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Photons are energy *coughlightparticlewhatevercough*s, and therefore have no mass? That's the thing I'm struggling with getting an intuitive understanding of.
They have a very tiny mass.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I stand corrected!
Shoulders back! Chin up! Thumbs along the seams of your trousers.

I want to go to House of Pies. Who wants to go with me?

Are they affected by gravity at all? Does that mean that matter and energy are not completely different planes of existence (stupid phrasing, but I can't think of the phrase)?

Grrragghh!
I was all set to leave early at 3:30 this afternoon to take in my first hockey game of the year. Then rant-inducing co-worker, who's been interrupting me every 5 minutes to look at e-mails or ask why her computer isn't doing things right had to have me hold her hand through the installation procedure for a program she should have had months ago. This delayed me just long enough for a client [who shall remain nameless in case I want to keep this job... which is by no means certain] to begin a flurry of e-mailed questions about one part of the project I just finished Monday. My last answer to her sparked a freakout in which she said that the agreed-upon procedures we'd been using since the beginning of February were insufficient, she had no idea we were ONLY doing that, and she needs to meet with a higher-up Monday to figure out What We're Going to Do About This.
I'ma use Hurley's number on the lottery and warn the relatives I like to get far, far away from me. And then go to that meeting and hug everyone a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But you've been in this country for years now.
See above, re: limited access to Girl Scouts.

Huh. There is a difference of opinion as to whether photons have any mass.
Are they affected by gravity at all?
Yes. Einstein's theory of relativity predicted this, and this was one of the first of relativity's predictions to be tested.

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.
MFN, do you have a Corner Bakery near you?
No!!! Corner Backery is The Evil. At least the one in downtown Chicago is.
Happy Birthday, Cindy!
I thought some shotguns had scopes. I'm not positive, though.
Jayne's has a laser sight. Not that this has any bearing on reality.
And the pumpy ka-chunk thing? Shotgun.
Yup. A friend of mine is fond of saying that it's one of those sounds that commands immediate attention.
Are buckshot and birdshot the same? Or is buckshot bigger?
Not a gun expert, but I'd imagine buckshot would be bigger since you're using it for deer.

Do the penguins like beans? Do they like George Wendt? Would they watch a movie with George Wendt? Would they watch of George Wendt eating beans?
