You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Sean is not the Great Cornholio.

But perhaps he needs TP for his bungholio anyway.

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

Are you threatening me?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Okay, I am about to rip my hair out and punch my computer (poor computer -- it's really only the messenger). I cannot figure out how to get MSAccess to do medians, and I've got too many subdivisions to do it in Excel. There are articles aplenty about how to get Access to do this by writing a subroutine, but I don't ever go into the coding part of Access and I don't have time to start now. Friggafracking fuck.

Thank you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm wearing pleated pants.

The winds are strong and hot.

I've just seen my third fire of the day.

I don't want to chair this meeting at 1.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Did you know that Anna Nicole's case will be heard by the Supreme Court?

The Supreme Court shed its staid image Tuesday, giving stripper-turned Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith a new chance at a piece of the fortune of her 90-year-old late husband.

The court said it would hear arguments early next year as part of Smith's effort to collect as much as $474 million from the estate of J. Howard Marshall II. The oil tycoon married her in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26.

The case promises to be the sexiest of the nine-month term which begins next week.

"She's very excited. She will be attending arguments, there's no question about that," Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, said in a telephone interview from Vermont where the television reality star is filming a movie.

At issue for the court is a relatively mundane technical issue: when may federal courts hear claims that are also involved state probate proceedings. But the facts are eye-catching.

...

The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case without awaiting the opinion of the new chief justice. The Senate is expected to vote on John Roberts' nomination later this week. The eight justices, including retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, picked that case to hear out of about 1,900 appeals.

Oh. And now it seems to have decided that it's okay if I make something invisible, but I still have to leave room for it on the page or it refuses to do it, and just gives me 0 instead. Really. Out. Of. Patience.

Looks like I chose the wrong week to stop popping ludes.
