We had big traffic snarl-ups in Chicago this morning because of the image of the Virgin Mary that apparently is masquerading as water damage on an underpass.
Where is that, brenda?
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
David Bowie in "Labyrinth". About as far from Inquisitor-in-Waiting Delay as you can get. Though I'm imagining a Delay vs. Goblin King smackdown.
The arousal and revulsion swimming through my brain silumtaneously is about to make me pass out.

Never gonna happen, I hear the Goblin King takes money from Delay.

I'm waiting for the Papal cabbage patch.
I actually have a visual in my head of what that dance might be.

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

Oh, honestly. In an article about the need to " Make History Strong in our Schools," they use as an example of why this startling statistic:
In one survey, students aged 8-12 could name more alcoholic beverages than presidents of the United States.
What is wrong with these people? Of course they can! You want to fix that, start buying billboards and ad time for McKinley and Taft -- don't bitch about adolescents' awareness of the world around them! Mind you, the later points are a bit better, like "More elite college seniors thought the general at Yorktown was Grant (37 percent) than Washington (34 percent)." Uh... Yorktown? Oh, right, Revolutionary not Civil. Still... "Fewer knew the source of 'Government of the people, by the people, and for the people' (22 percent) than could identify Beavis & Butthead (99 percent)" Yeah, okay. Guilty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw a wee baby on Sunday that prompted me to say "Wow. It's Ticky-box sized." I wonder if the mother heard me.

For full disclosure: the only thing I remember about McKinley is my fifth grade teacher telling us, "You know why you've never heard of McKinley? Because he never did anything!" And he's got a mountain in Alaska named after him.
(Note: Actually, maybe that was some other, even less memorable president. Fifth grade was a long time ago.)
