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

Article on Steve Carell and the American version of The Office: [link]

In the upcoming movie "Bewitched," he's practical joker Uncle Arthur, a character etched in the original TV series by Paul Lynde. In the planned film version of another classic TV series, "Get Smart," he'll also step into the shoes of a well-known character -- inept spy Maxwell Smart, first played by Don Adams.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

[eta: And if I remember, I'll whip up a VAST LIBERAL CONSPIRACY t-shirt tonight on CafePress.]

It'd be funny with a line of smaller text underneath saying "Member #793,021", or some such.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Actually, I can easily see Carrell as something of a comedic heir to Don Adams.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I want to get one of those "card-carrying member of a reality based community" t-shirts!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh god. I"m not one of Those People who puts t-shirts on their dog, but that one would almost make me do it. (Quote: "We cannot let terriers and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile." Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 21, 2000 ")

I might have to get one of the "Secret Plans for the Vast Liberal Conspiracy" notebooks, though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So, I get a call from the receiving department. They are angry. I have received a personal package and that IS AGAINST POLICY.

I run down to get an ass-whuppin', and the receiving guy is standing there grinning, "somebody looooves youuuu."

FLOWERS! From msbelle! My FAVORITES! Purple iris and stargazer lillies!!!!!

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!

She truly is the nicest.

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

I hadn't realised that although Michael wants the feeding tubes removed, he's actually not making the decision, but placing that decision in the hands of the court. To avoid the appearence of impropriety, etc.

I thought he'd made the decision, and her parents were trying to use the courts to stop it.
