Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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 echidnas and mole rats too, I'd email him my support.
If he'd mentioned echindnas and mole rats? I suspect you'd reevaluate that whole straight thing you have going on.

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

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.

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

I want to pet a penquin.

It was only over the sweater fur petting. That's more saying hello than beastiality.

And now that I have assured my spot in the special hell, I should start thinking umfriendly thoughts about actually sleeping.

As a general rule, I find "Is this closer to saying hello than bestiality" is a reasonable guide to personal behaviour.

(PS: Feathers, not fur.)

I knew that. Soft little birdies. With feathers. It really is time for bed obviously.
