Not so much with the Reubens, since I don't like Swiss cheese or sauerkraut.

Try it with provalone and cole slaw instead!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I sincerely hope that PC is not trying to bogart the Fernet.

I have no interest in consuming the Fernet. I only like the effect it has on the women around me.

Calli, I'm so sorry. {{{Calli}}}

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

Opposite of obvious - counterintuitive?

I would argue that "counterintuitive" says more than just "not obvious" - it implies that it's easy to get mislead/get the wrong info/etc. Wheras "not obvious" just means the info (or whatever) is difficult to get.

Yeah, I kind of thought about that. But I think the difficulty is really that obvious can have a pretty wide range of meaning, so I'm not sure any one opposite is going to suffice.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Coleslaw is even grosser than sauerkraut.
