"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Funniest weird blue law thing - local brew pubs (the ones that brew their own) can sell growlers (i.e. 1/2 gallon bottles) of beer, but not on Sundays (even though the package stores - MA lingo for liquor stores - can now open on Sundays, albeit only after noon). However, on Memorial Day, which, along with Thanksgiving and Xmas, the liquor stores can't be open at all, they could sell growlers. Huh?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Just now, I got a call from a man who was hit in the head with a laser and was implanted with a chip that reads his thoughts. And he wants to know if we know what kind of laser this is and how to remove the chip. I told him we don't have those kinds of lasers here, and wished him luck.

That's awesome! Best I got was people accusing us photoshopping out the aliens.

That would be a satellite based Honeywell X-4200 laser chiperator with a special custom flux booster grafted onto the argon pump. Um, not that would I know first hand or anything.

How could you lie to him so brazenly?

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

Hey, Clovis wants to know if you got the email about the service pack upgrade for that. If not, he has a spare discount code.

Yeah, but theirs doesn't have the custom flux booster so you can block it with tinfoil.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Allyson, I'm glad you're all ethical 'an stuff... but you really should have found out if he was just bonkers or an eccentric rich guy you could have helped with very special equipment for reasonable compensation.
