You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

C'mon, it's 24. Crack out a projection screen and high volume stereo system with Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich playing during their shooting hours.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aimée, can you throw pee at them?

I probably could have if I had known about it beforehand. Now, I'll have to throw my whole chair.

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

Heh.

There are polls on impeachment.

Why do they bother taking these polls if they're going to taint the results by asking the question in such a ridiculous way. From the link above:

"The poll found that 50% agreed with the statement:

"If President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable by impeaching him."

44% disagreed, and 6% said they didn't know or declined to answer. The poll has a +/- 3.1% margin of error.

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

Hey, if Howard Gordon is down there tell him I said hello and I keep meaning to send a sympathy card for having to deal with cranky Fury.

So on the bus, a guy dropped his (apparently full) Big Gulp.

What exactly is the point of those things, anyway? Buy a damn 2-liter, folks. The cup is a disaster waiting to happen. He was sitting midbus, and Coke rolled forward all the way up to the driver and started dripping down the stairs.

Skipping, ignoring ongoing conversations, in need of hivemind help:

Is "Cyclops" in singular or plural form?

(My brother is translating something, the opinions regarding the one/many are not conclusive, and he needs to know. So he sent me an e-mail: "Ask your buddies at your forum. They'll probably know". And I never even told him about the hivemind!)

[Edit: oh, 8 is twice 4 and 6 is twice 3. It's like my post # can't decide about plural or singular itself. How meta.]
