That's not slang.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm guessing a horse racing operation refers to illegal betting?
That show is the most appalling thing on TV! We were just talking about it at work yesterday! That lady is BANANAS.
How come no one told me of this!

Who is Sandra Lee and why do I hate her?
Because's she looks/sounds like one of those blonde Fox news commentators (for which Anne Coulter seems to be the prototypesire), and has a show that's basically the equivalent of Rachel Ray's except her use of pre-fab ingredients involves more work than starting from scratch rather than less, perhaps?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sandra Lee: [link] This is the kind of thing she always makes. I bet it would taste pretty good. But you can't use fresh potatoes? This is a large category of her recipes: Food I would eat, and like, but be embarassed about.
She always uses a seasoning packet of some kind, and looooooves cookie mix.
She also always makes a cocktail at the end of the show, even the ones that are supposed to be "parties" for her "niece" and "nephew."
I had her show on my DVR for a while but decided I really had to stop watching it every day just so I could shriek.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Because she has a "cooking" show in spite of the fact that she is clearly and visibly disgusted by any contact with food.

I read an article on this yesterday, but IIRC it just means he was using gov't money to pay for his racing horses.

Those cheesy potatoes seem ridiculous and I don't even cook. I must catch this show.
So, what are people doing for the Last Weekend of Summer?

Catching up on sleep after the first week of fall.

Oh. I guess the quote marks confused me.
