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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Heartless bastard!

I'm sorry, but I can't get irate with anyone who can say:

So let me say defensively at the outset that I love animals, and I particularly love goofy animals like penguins, platypuses, ostriches, giraffes, sloths, armadillos and kangaroos who seem to have been designed by drunken angels on the day God was off making other worlds.

If he'd mentioned echidnas and mole rats too, I'd email him my support.

YAY! I can't wait to see everyone.

Also, while looking up some stuff online the other day, I had this odd impulse to go to Vegas for my birthday in October. But only go to LA places while there. It amused me to think about it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'ma buy you a drink, Kristen.

I think you should do Vegas for your birthday. I hear all the cool kids are.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If he'd mentioned echindnas and mole rats? I suspect you'd reevaluate that whole straight thing you have going on.

Y'know, I love echidnas, but I don' t love echidnas, if'n you know what I mean. I'm pretty confident that if I can maintain that distinction with the very source, I can do so with a bewhiskered rabbi.

Even if he's cuddly?

As long as he's missing all those innie and outie bits that I like, yes.

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

You know, he once told me he doesn't love penguins either.

Methinks the Aussie doth protest too much.

I went to a speed dating event (women, and drugs! Two of my favourite pastimes!) and told fully half of them when asked about my hobbies that I really love animals. If it gets cold enough. (And yet none of them wanted to see me again! Next time I'm leaving my lucky axe at home.)

The only time I feel the need to make these distinctions is when someone else brings it up. Though, granted, I have petted a penguin since leaving Philly, which is further than I've got with any humans over that time.
