I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I first ran across the phrase, "Bob's your uncle" in a book. The newly-single woman was making her bed, and the section was something like:

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd love to buy one, but it would take one look at my floorful of cables, closely packed furniture, and assorted clutter and send up the binary equivalent of "goodbye cruel world!"
