Ooh. I don't know, never heard of it!
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.
Oh! I know this one! 'Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah blahbity blah, I'm so stuffy, gimme a scone.'

"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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Which branch of Lutherans? There are several....

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

[eta: Hm, except the Quotes section completely fails to contain "Oh look, one of them is nailing something to the door of that church. I've created Lutherans!"]

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."?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If you want pasties, go to the Upper Peninsula, and you can buy them on almost every corner.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Ah. I stopped watching after season 2 or 3.
And it has gone on to be shorthand for things so unclean that they spawn life.
Huh. First time I've heard it.

Not sure if this was directed at me or the joke. I'd actually have to look it up because I haven't been to church in 10 years or so. I was confirmed Lutheran so that's the way I tend to identify, though I realize there's a lot of points where the church dogma and I don't agree now. The services were lovely, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Over-cologne alert.
Kalshane -- I think it was Teppy who first used it to refer to life created through neglect of her dishes.
As for which Lutherans, the Original¹, natch. She spots them nailing something to a church door.
¹: Not original in the way I first took it, as short for MLK Jr.
