Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wow. A Times reporter was in the private jet that was hit by a 747 (which crashed) over Brazil: [link]
It was a 737, actually. (Nit-picky, but the 737 is much smaller.)

Then you'd better get your ass to where ever I happen to be before I die.

This is why no one gets to sleep over at my house.

Yikes!
My one grandfather was cremated, and we still had a funeral -- no viewing. I guess technically it was a memorial Mass. For my other grandfather, we did have a wake with his body there, and I was surprised at how much I appreciated it.
