I smell spirit babies, or possibly just branze.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

If I only had a brain...
One of my co-workers just made his way into my office, sighed, and sat down. He explained that he didn't have anything to say, it had just been weeks since he talked to me. Then he sat in my office and nattered, playing with my office toys.
Can I apply to become a misanthropist?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Last night I was talking to Bob about how Jasmine from AtS s.4 is a classic example of the philosophy utility monster.

Did you throw your Swingline stapler at him? If so, you've passed the qualifying exam.

On the subject of bad milk, this is one area where I err on the side of caution. Usually milk smells bad to me before the sell by date, and I'm paranoid about bad milk.
No bad experiences or nothing, I just don't like the idea of drinking bad milk. I can't watch the scene in the middle of Minority Report for many, many reasons.

I enjoy some of the titles of papers the philosophical zombie author lists at the bottom, this run of three being my favorite:
"Why and how we are not zombies"
"Revenge of the zombies"
"You can't argue with a zombie"
Also, I'm not sure I'm actually lactose intolerant, but I buy Lactaid milk, because the stuff lasts forever. Expiration date and experience tell me so.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That zombie article is great. I should probably mention that Daniel Dennett is a freakin' giant in the field of philosophy of mind (in fact, I imagine that most philosophers would agree that he's easily the greatest living practitioner), and it does my heart good to know that he's spending his time arguing about zombies.
On another note, I should also point out that The Zombies' Odyssey and Oracle is a great lost masterpiece.
