This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Vortex, I always wanted to make a sticker that said, "Your car is not compact. Even you don't believe it is. So stop parking in compact spaces."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I knew about Bob Einstein, but I had no idea his brother was Albert Brooks. Weird. They don't even look alike to me.

Speaking of, is India considered a Muslim country? Cuz I didn't think so, but Albert Brooks' new movie takes place mostly in India, and the one-sheet pictures the Taj Mahal (I'm guessing). I mean, I assume there are hundreds of thousands of Muslims in India, but can it really be representative of "The Muslim World"?

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

Odd blog-surfing synchronicity:

I was reading a political blog -the last bit I read was:

Abramoff was so closely tied to the Bush Administration that he could, and did, charge two of his clients $25,000 for a White House lunch date and a meeting with the President.

[link]

Then the very next blog I read had:

An online casino has a piece of Capt. Kirk. Actor William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for $25,000, with the money going to a housing charity, it was announced Tuesday.

[link]

Hmm... a lunch date with the president? or Captain Kirk's kidney stone? Both are worth negative money to me. Unless I could take lunch with the pres and somehow inflict his kidney with Kirk's kidney stone....

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

I intend to go with "You know you bought this car because it wasn't compact. Fuck off."

I know there are times when there's nowhere else to park...but that's so often not the case.

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?

Speaking of, is India considered a Muslim country?

I tend to think Hindu for India, but I could be completely wrong.

Or, another sticker option, "I'm helping Global Warming! Asking me how!"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The Muslim population is (largely) concentrated in the north west, near Pakistan, so those areas I would think be predominantly Muslim, enough for the purposes of the movie, anyway.
