Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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
Bones: Loved Booth's "because we're the good guys" speech. Made me all smiley. Cop shows tend to ignore the purpose of diplomatic immunity.

OK, this is creepy: I'm about to call someone at a Large Corporation, and my cousin works for them too, but I'm not 100% sure doing what, so I thought I'd google my cousin and see if I could nail down her job, just in case. Turns out, her name is a character in Harry Potter!

Oh, that's so cool! I mean, I love the sounds of the names JKR comes up with, so I guess your cousin has a really nice-sounding name, too, on top of hiding her non-Muggle ways from your family.

It's not a very impressive name, honestly. Turns out, she's a minor Ravenclaw, and I must have noticed it at the time, because she's only named in the first book, and then never again. According to wikipedia.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For a moment here I thought what you'd learnt was her name, not that you'd known her name all along and learnt it was also a character in Harry Potter.
I spent way too long wondering how you googled her without knowing her name.
But I woke up stupid this morning (migraine) and even though I napped in the parking lot, stuff's a little slow to start. Which is a shame, since I'm filling in today for a co-worker on something that may be complicated and stressful.

Wikipedia says "nothing more is known about her", and "nothing" includes "having a cousin named Jesse", you know.
ita, I hope you've wasted all of today's stupid on HP and the rest of the day will be better.

Heh. "All these years, and I finally learned my cousin's name: Ginny Weasley!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, I think I'm almost completely packed, after pruning a jacket, two pairs of socks, and two shirts from the list of stuff I was taking. It's Europe, right? I won't care what I'm wearing, as long as it's comfortable and presentable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This doesn't sound good:
David Walters "has led thousands of youth, adults, and children into the realm of the supernatural. Some children as young as four years of age have experienced the presence of God.... David is leading a Generation of ANOINTED Children and Youth into Revival !!! ...David will show you how to... raise your children in God's army and ...prepare them for the coming revival, have youngsters become powerful in evangelism and see them operating in spiritual gifts, turn church wise kids and teens into anointed, passionate warriors for the Lord.... THIS YOUNG ARMY IS CALLED TO HEAL THE SICK, RAISE THE DEAD AND CAST OUT DEMONS""
Although raising the dead is cool. Do ya' suppose they can bring my friends' dead cat back to life?
This is part of the "Special Army Commitment Prayer":
Now Lord Jesus I, (click, then type your name) pledge my allegiance to You and I enlist in Your mighty army. I declare war on satan and by God's grace and power, satan will not have victory in my life. I will not turn traitor and join his camp, but by Your grace Lord, I will stay faithful and loyal to You all the days of my life. I will study the Armor of God training manual, so that I can become a powerful soldier in Your army. Amen!
