I can't remember having had a problem smelling my dinner before. My nose, see, is right above my mouth.
Now, if I were eating that bird, I might put a napkin over the dinner, and I was really looking to be told it was a typo.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

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

That was my first thought. Like, you'd cover up the bird before biting its head off.

Condi photo manipulation controversy: [link]
A manipulated photo of Condi appeared in USA Today - she looked like she was possessed, or about to shoot death-rays out of her eyes. Eventually, USA Today replaced the picture.
USA Today had this to say:
Editor's note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY's editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have to say, intentional or unintentional, that's a pertty hysterical photo.
Of course, I am blue-eyed and come from a long line of people who look like demons when photographed with flash, so I have no sympathy for Condi at all. My mother has a 4-generations family photo of about 30 people (I am a toddler in the foreground), with 60 points of demon-pink light brightening the family fun.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The death-ray shot is quite something, but the corrected one is hardly reassuring, which is what was supposed to be going on according to the caption.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Anyway, throwing banana peels was definitely below my dignity. I was a very dignified child.
I am reminded of the picture of the young, disconsolate, jealous flea at the arrival of the baby nuttykin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just called to cancel my physical therapy appointment (the pharmacist informed that I'd already committed a drug interaction no-no and couldn't take any more of my migraine meds, so it's narcotics or muscle relaxants from here on in, and I still can't drive) and sounded so pathetic to myself I almost started to cry on the phone.
I'm so fucking beat, man. And I have a work call in fifteen minutes.
About that Condi picture. Sure, she looks like Gollum in dominatrix gear on a good day, but who the hell thought the "cleaned up" picture was an improvement? It was an editorial choice in and of itself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw, ita, poor thing. Migraines that won't quit (and keep coming back) are horrendous.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was wondering what Msbelle just asked.
If I weren't at work and/or 500+ miles away, I would take you.
