Come to think of it, I learned "righty-tighty lefty-loosey" after I learned the right-hand rule for cross products. I generally use it when I'm loosening a screw, because my muscles automatically try to tighten when I hold a screwdriver
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

Math stuff. Matrices.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Company too SUCCESSFUL to make complete sentences. Understanding what the hell we are talking about NOT a requirement.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just printed out all the directions that I think I might possibly need for my trip to LA this weekend.
Whee!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cross products?
Um. Vector multiplication. Like torque? Or spin? You can describe, for example, which way a cat is curled by curling your right hand in the same way, heel of hand by the tail and fingers at the nose. If your thumb points up, the cat is spin up, the other way is spin down. Our cats tend to obey an exlusion principal in that if they are in the same room they will have opposite spins. The dog's spin may match or not, there doesn't seem to be a rule.
That's not better, is it? I'm sorry.
