Is that pasty place in Harvard Square gone?
Ooh. I don't know, never heard of it!
No Lutherans in the FAQ, huh?
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a Simpsons reference, Kalshane -- Lisa creates little people in a science experiment.

Oh, Cardullo's. I was resisting going there for clotted cream because I knew it was a money-suck, but now it looks like I just might have to. Mmm, clotted cream.
Wish me luck on my Algebra test! Also, wish my hiccups away, please, because I'll be so embarrassed if I hiccup through the test!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sadly, the odds are good it's been gone for like ten years, since I haven't gone there since high school, I don't think.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's a Simpsons reference, Kalshane -- Lisa creates little people in a science experiment.
And it has gone on to be shorthand for things so unclean that they spawn life.

Well, it appears Miers is vehemently anti-choice: [link]
Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers pledged support in 1989 for a constitutional amendment banning abortions except when necessary to save the life of the mother, according to material given to the Senate on Tuesday. As a candidate for the Dallas city council, Miers also signaled support for the overall agenda of Texans United for Life — agreeing she would support legislation restricting abortions if the Supreme Court ruled that states could ban abortions and would participate in "pro-life rallies and special events."

I don't think I'm thinking of Cardullo's -- isn't that more like a grocery store? The place I'm thinking of was a big take-out place with hot food and whatnot.

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
When a repairman comes up to my desk and says that the little oriental lady told him that the back lab door is leaking, do I say, "rugs are oriental, she's vietnamese"?
Or do I do what I just did, and raise an eyebrow and say, "okay, i guess."?
