Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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

Know this I did not:

Both the middle aged Palpatine and the elderly Emperor Palpatine are played by actor Ian McDiarmid, although the holographic image of the Emperor that briefly appeared in The Empire Strikes Back was played by an unnamed actor (a woman with the composited image of a lemur for the eyes) and was voiced by Clive Revill. For the 2004 DVD release of the Star Wars Trilogy, the scene in Episode V was reshot with Ian McDiarmid replacing Revill as the Emperor, with new lines recorded for both McDiarmid and James Earl Jones (the voice of Darth Vader).

Sad I am that removed were the lemur eyes.

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

Don't go getting attached to Lucas visuals. In ten years Palpatine will be played by Dakota Fanning in all versions.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I knew this. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Seems like a severe breakdown in communication in people that basically want to achieve the same ends--just by far different means.

I couldn't agree more.

The man's incessant tinkering is like picking a scab.

If I only had a brain...

The man's incessant tinkering is like picking a scab.

Except that it doesn't feel good when it comes off.

I'm guessing I'm not designed to be a scab picker. I hate the feeling when they come off. It's the fidget I enjoy -- the actual pick I regret.

Neither here nor there, and I've grossed myself out.

I have cousins who'd pick scabs on their shins until they got close to bone.

ICK. No picky, no picky, no picky.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

(Modern) French imperative for "Get out of here": «Va t'en !»

Usually accompanied by an epithet of some sort -- I don't have a 19th-century French equivalent for "varlet" handy, however.

«Aller» (to go) is not only irregular, as ita states, but its imperative formation is even more irregular: Its singular imperative is «va», not «vas».

"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

Something I just don't get is that he had to spend hundreds of hours watching the last two movies in the editing bays, right? How could you be exposed to that much Jar-Jar and not want to kill him in the most grisly fashion conceivable?

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

its imperative formatiion is even more irregular: Its singular imperative is «t;va»t;, not «vas».

Actually, it's normal/regular for informal imperatives (of verbs ending in -er, at least) to drop the final S.

Why yes, I really am this boring and pedantic, why do you ask?
