Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

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

Kalshane, do you get collision insurance coverage? It's probably not worth it if your car is worth, say, less than $3,000.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

By Saturday afternoon, many residents were leaving. But as the hurricane approached early on Sunday, Mr. Brown said he grew so frustrated with the failure of local authorities to make the evacuation mandatory that he asked Mr. Bush for help.

"Would you please call the mayor and tell him to ask people to evacuate?" Mr. Brown said he asked Mr. Bush in a phone call.

Uhm, that's just not true. It's a lie. City busses were evacuating Sunday morning, so it's not as if they were waiting on the mandatory evac before getting people out who otherwise wouldn't have been able to.

OK, here's a phrase you don't want to hear anywhere outside of a horror moivie:

Plague-infected lab mice missing in New Jersey

NEWARK, N.J. - Three mice infected with the bacteria responsible for bubonic plague apparently disappeared from a laboratory about two weeks ago, and authorities launched a search though health experts said there was scant public risk.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

On Wednesday, Clark was pinch-hitting for the Giants in the ninth inning of his first big-league game.

Oh, that is so sweet. Boston just had our 4th OF go down with a bad Achilles', so Adam Hyzdu, a AAA lifer, is getting that call today. Probably already has. I can see him dancing on the T on his way in to Fenway.

(I don't know what his offseason day job is, but with four kids, he surely has one.)

My brother has all sorts of horrifying lab stories. Of all of them, the accidental immortal mold ones amuse me the most.

Also, the lack of signage in the labs. Some of the work done there makes people so touchy (and the crazies, crazier) that they don't actually put signs up indicating that what it is a lab for, and sometimes, not even an indication that it is a lab, for fear of sabotage.

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

Was the mold sentient?

Current NASA plans (to be revealed Friday/Monday) call for astronauts to land on the moon in 2018. Then, maybe.... Moonbase!

eta: If it happens then, it'll be 46 years after the last moon landing.

I dunno. They had a helluva time killing it, though.

What is even happening?

Was the mold sentient?

That depends on what was is.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And then, eventually... Moonchild!
