And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's just mean of them not to include an mp3 with that article. [ha! xpost]

What is even happening?

When I politely indicated my disinterest and said that I was just trying to escape the stress of my office for a few minutes, she asked if I wanted to pray with her.

I think I prefer getting harangued by Jehovah.

How did you refrain from saying, "Jehovah comes by here regularly. Why would I go through you?"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I love dolphins.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

handed me a pamphlet titled, " So Who Is This Jesus, Anyway?"

Actually, you should have told her that Jesus looks like French-Canadian actor Roy Dupuis.

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

How can they put that out there without a sound file??!?

Probably it's because they're afraid that some hiphop artist will sample it, and the legalities as to whether dolphins are entitled to royalties haven't been settled yet.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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

BATMAN DOLL!!

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

Scientists have taught dolphins to combine both rhythm and vocalisations to produce music, resulting in an extremely high-pitched, short version of the Batman theme song.

You're right, that is a lovely sentence. Just, the way it juxtaposes words like "rhythm" and "vocalisation," leading you to expect one thing, and then socks you upside the head with the Batman theme song.

Ah, language.

The evil is this way?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are expecting.

Silence means security silence means approval

"Entertainment Tonight" has a statement from Nick Lachey's people saying that it is not true he and Jessice are breaking up.

I wonder if they have a template now for these releases now.

"The article in *NEWS_SOURCE* is (wholly|blatantly|categorically) false. Jessica and I remain (happily|committedly|legally) married and are not splitting up (ever|this week|until the notary comes back from vacation). *JESSICA_FAMILY_MEMBER* is not causing any tension between us, and it is (patently|categorically|mostly) false that I was seen (talking|kissing|having sex with|buying a new convection oven with) *SOME_CELEBRITY_ONLY_TEENS_OR_US_MAGAZINE_READERS_HAVE_HEARD_OF*."
