Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Always Anti-fascist!

Seriously, one of the most upsetting things I see on The Sopranos(With all the adultery, kneecappings, and stranglings) is Tony Soprano taking great big handfuls of Prozac. You'd think he had a problem following the rules or something.

crammed with lashings of delicious grub, and then as one gradually empties it, one's loving mater and pater gradually send more ripping treats.

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

Megalomaniac Darwinian globalists are in the process of creating a new world order in which the Masters (themselves) will be served by scientifically-re-engineered “Un Man.” The stumbling block is Christianity and the individualism that naturally occurs from belief in God as Sovereign of the universe.

Fuck, I haven't been sharpening my sword. I don't even have a sword. And I must have missed the notices of the chain-forging parties.

You understand it's just a box, and that there aren't any slings or prosthetics involved, right?

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A traditional tuck box is a box one stores food in at boarding school.

Don't they feed you at boarding school? Or must you bring along decade-old cake to re-ice?

They soak it in alcohol so it won't go bad.
