Though, I must admit, I would've laughed had Cheney said that.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
From the Hugh Laurie interview;
"He works 77 hours a day. He's a stranger in a strange land," said Mr. Leonard. "For a long time, he was living at the Chateau Marmont and padding around like a ghost."
Oh, man. Someone need to go hug him already.
When he does have actual free time, Mr. Laurie has some soulful hobbies that Mr. Shore has written into the House character: he plays piano for solace, and goes for long rides on his Triumph motorcycle. For fitness, the former rower (and son of an Olympian crew hero) has given up the oars, which he says were never fun to begin with. He now chooses to get knocked around in a boxing ring, a sport that House can never take up.
This is doing nothing to lessen my already raging crush on Mr. Laurie.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
But yeah, presumably, Cheney started to say something along the lines of "He must be a friend of Patrick Leahy's" before what passes for a brain in that man kicked in and said NOOOOOOOO! DON'T SAY THAAAT!
I thought Cheney said something more along the lines of "He must have voted for Jonn...Never mind" or something like that. I could have sworn it was going to be a crack about John Kerry and the election he was starting, which is even MORE innappropriate, I think. I remember I did a double take when I read about it.
But I may easily misremember.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I always thought it had three syllables, actually.
I can see how it could be. Not if the family was from the south, but I've heard Chy-yuld as a pronunciation of child.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Quick, somebody go over to Sunset and give Hugh Laurie a hug! Tell him it's from me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cheney laughed it off and started to say something to the effect of "He must be a friend of.... Nevermind...."
Actually Cheney said, "He must be a friend of Jon St...Nevermind."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
There are no one syllable words in the south. Moonwhatever is at least 3 syllables.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jon Stewart, huh? Ha!
