Yeah, with newer cars the computers track so much data that the car computer can tell by itself if all the pollution control equipment is working correctly. Older cars would still need the probe up the tailpipe method....

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

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hi everybody! Thanks for the birthday wishes for Isaac, I promise to pass them along to him with many kisses attached. Poor weeble had stomach flu this weekend, so no cake until he's all better.
Allyson, I have some sympathy for Gavin's parents. When Franny was first interested in naming her naughty bits, I had to quickly come up with appropriate terms for her to use. We went with "crotch" for the front and "butt" for the backside. Now she sometimes goes around proudly saying "my crotch! my butt!"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Copperfield told Page Two he pulled out all of his pockets for Riley to see he had nothing, even though he had a cellphone, passport and wallet stuffed in them.
Clever boy!

He also handed the thief a rabbit, several doves, and a whole seried of silk handkerchiefs tied end to end....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least it's not "My Humps".....
ASSPICS! I demand asspics!
It is a fabulous day here, and I've had a fabulous day today. Yay.

Asspics always make me think of aspic, which I think we all should agree is unfortunate.

I just love having to walk someone through a windows application when I am not sitting in front of a pc and have never used said application. And yet, google and a little logic and I've done it.
I think every child takes at least one approach to naming parts that will result in parental...well, if not mortification, a good eyeroll. My nephew horrified his mom by declaring her "broken" because she didn't have a penis. This was shortly after he learned the word. Unfortunately, at that point, his understanding was simply absense=broken. Caused a dropped jaw or two. What a cute little....chauvinist?
Thankfully, that passed quickly.

Nay! Never! In the immortal words of Destiny's Child:
I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this
Cause my body too bootylicious for ya babe
I shake my jelly at every chance
When I whip with my hips you slip into a trance
I'm hoping you can handle all this jelly that I have
Now let's cut a rug while we shake our....

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks to the new no smiling rules
Do they have "no eye rolling" rules? Because I need some way to stick it to The Man.
As far as airline stuff, I've thought for a while now that the current hell of air travel is such that an entrepreneur who could start a reasonably priced airline that was seriously old school airline - stylish steward/ess uniforms, legroom, service, meals - could really make some headway. People are sick to death of the way air travel is these days. I know that as poor as I am, there are times where I'd be willing to pay extra for more comfort.
