Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I've been followed, touched without my consent and sprinkled with stuff.

But not, like, the way people in LA kept flinging pee at ita, right?

And erika, you fuck with their worldview. You're a Crip Chick, and are therefore supposed to be pious and long-suffering while accepting your fate and teaching us all how to love just a little more. But you WON'T, damn you, so they have to sprinkle stuff on you.

But not pee.

So you're saying your chair brings all the nutbars to the yard?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Jean Schmidt needs to be bitch slapped up and down the House floor. I'm volunteering to do it.

Why is it a mortal sin to burn the flag, but a great idea to piss all over the Constitution?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If someone set fire to the Constitution, and that was the only way to put it out, that could leave you in a quandary.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just got a call from the customer service guy at my car dealership, about the fact that I hadn't given him very high marks on the customer satisfaction survey call I got. I had told the survey caller that I thought he was quite condescending, among other things. He seemed sincere in his apology, and almost had me, until he told me that he had tried to treat me and other customers "the way he would his mother or his aunt".

Something tells me he wasn't getting it.

Perkins, we should introduce him to my mother. Whenever Mom & Dad went car shopping, the salesmen would always address my father and ignore Mom. Until Dad turned to her and said, "I'll be across the street having a beer. Come get me when you're ready to sign the papers."

I bought my first new car when Scott and I had been dating about six months. He was usually with me when I was shopping, because we're cute like that. Without fail, the sales people (all men, I think) addressed him. One of us would reiterate that I was buying the car, but within a few minutes, the talk would be aimed at him, again. It was so ridiculous, even more so, because although I'm no car-freak, I probably had more car knowledge than him, at least at that time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

At my Honda dealership, if they don't get all 5s, they have failed.

I think that's a poor construction of a survey. I don't give 5s generally when I take surveys unless someone has gone above and beyond the call of duty. How often does that happen at a car dealership?

I went with my mother, who is in her late seventies, when she was buying her new car, and two of the three salespeople kept addressing me. Which, really very lame, because she's the one with all the disposable income. Interestingly, it bothered me more than it bothered her. And she's not one who takes being dismissed lightly. Anway - sexist, ageist - not good for business, people. You'd think there'd be training about that or something.
