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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Isn't this weird coming from the guy who is doing Rush Hour 3?
EW DELHI - Action star Jackie Chan has a message for Asia's film industry: Unite against American movies or risk losing your culture.
Chan has starred in a string of Hollywood blockbusters, including "Rush Hour" and its sequel, and plans to start shooting "Rush Hour 3" soon.
But he told The Times of India that that such movies erode the culture of Asian countries, saying "Asians should unite against American cinema."
"Why do we need to ape their culture," Chan reportedly said. "I see an Indian saying 'Yo Man!' but that's not what Asian are about."
India, like Hong Kong, has its own thriving film industry, known as Bollywood. While American movies are shown in Indian cinemas, Hindi movies dominate the big screens on the subcontinent.
"Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality," Chan said.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yikes! That's no good. Are the animals all OK?
They are actually fine, Kate, thanks. I was amazed to find they had kept their messes confined to our cement-floor laundry room. They were just hungry--but they still had plenty of water (we have water-refill thingy).
They deserve something special for Christmas this year for being so good.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, Daisy Jane!!!
(and I'm a complete idiot. I JUST NOW figured out what Daisy's former name was and, just, well, I'm stoopid.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are you thinkin' of gettin' one?
Wednesday, actually. I hope to sleep through it -- and I might. It's at 7 am.
I can see Jackie Chan's point if he's arguing against diluting Asian cinema by trying to make everything look American. That'd be bad and culture-eroding. Arguing against the existence or enjoyment of American movies sounds weird.
