Lisah, she's brilliant. I love the book.
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

I use the message center, but I don't have b.org bookmarked. I just scroll down the address bar until I get to it. With Firefox it's always on the bottom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scarlett Johansson's trip to California theme park Disneyland ended in disaster Friday afternoon, when her Mercedes hit another car as the paparazzi chased her. According to eyewitnesses, the Lost In Translation beauty was driving near the tourist attraction's entrance with two pals, when she swerved to get away from pursuing photographers and hit another vehicle containing a woman and her two young daughters. An onlooker says, "The front of Scarlett's Mercedes damaged the side of the other car pretty badly. Scarlett looked really shaken up and when both cars pulled over in a safe spot, she apologized profusely to the other woman. After that, they spent around 40 minutes on their phones, sorting out all of their insurance and legal paperwork."
From IMDB -- all rough, and seemingly more standard for celebs. And then ...
A Mercedes representative arrived soon afterwards with a new car for the actress to drive home
I still feel bad for her, but damn. Nice roadside service.
Just had one of those irritating conversations -- "So we do X every hour." "So ... every hour on the hour?" "Yes. And each time we do it, we indicate the next time we will do it again -- maybe 90 minutes later." "So you don't mean every hour on the hour?" "No."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I don't. I'll bet the other people had to take the bus home.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do you suppose I can call up Mercedes and say, "I smashed my Mercedes; can I have a new one?"?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I don't suppose there's anything on earth to stop you from doing so. I'm not sure Mercedes will hop to for you the way they did for Scarlett, but by all means call away!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If you lease an expensive car, or, hell, even a moderately priced one, they'll do that kind of service for you and you don't even have to be a movie star. Honda sent a car right away to the tow place my friend went to after she t-boned someone at an intersection. She didn't even have that expensive a Honda.

Miz Robin, you and your WBB have been in my thoughts today. I just finished a comic book he'd like and I forgot that I was going to lend him my copy of the comic McSweeneys since he didn't want to crack his open.
Will you be around tonight so I can drop them off? Are you irritated at my propensity to stop by yet?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Yeah, usually the ugly one is rich as shit.
Damn, I've been tumbled.
However, they do know that I want this very much as well and trying my best, so they don't pressure or anything.
Well, see, now I want this for you too. You'd be an awesome mother.
Take the red sudafed, and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes...
That is one truly surreal pick-up line.

Being chased by paparazzi doesn't make you feel bad? Chased to the degree where you have an accident?
