Like being on strike ain't bad enough, I'm also on a diet. Mallomars are not allowed.
I'm gonna be a ball of rage by Thanksgiving.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I made a snarky comment once to the NYC-istas about Mallomars, and the reputation sort of stuck with me.
(I didn't know that they weren't available year-round, and I visted NYC one October and met some of the NYC-istas for the first time. Over brunch with a group, someone mentioned that Mallomars were back, and I was surprised that they weren't available year-round, and because I'm so damn awkward with new people and I never know what to say, I ended up saying something like, "In Ohio, we have food available year-round."
But I really hadn't meant it in a snarky way; it was just an awkwardly phrased comment I made to try to make my socializing less painful.
Though it really IS weird that Mallomars aren't available year-round, what with air-conditioning and whatnot making most food shelf-stable. IJS.)

"In Ohio, we have food available year-round."
That's awesome.*

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It was hilarious. OHH, Miss Fancy-Pants Ohio with her year-round food!

Presumably the correct use is "the awesome Harlan Ellison."

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
at least we're getting a movie! i just hope the cast is believable.
I wish it had gone the television route. There is so much to tell and I don't see it being done justice in a film. It has such a Roswellian feel to it. I guess that wouldn't be a big selling point to tv would it?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I find this interesting:
Internet giant Google is in secret talks with Simon Fuller, the British entrepreneur behind the Spice Girls, about a joint venture that could change the way TV is watched over the internet.
News of the collaboration will prompt speculation that Google's plans for the TV market include generating original content and competing with major broadcasters.
Executives from the £229bn internet giant have been in discussions with Fuller, who invented Pop Idol, the world's most successful TV franchise, for about a year. Although details of the deal are a closely guarded secret, sources close to Fuller say it could revolutionise the way entertainment and music are distributed.

Oh, that train left my station so very long ago.
