And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Dude, Iraq has it's own TDS!

In a recent episode, the host, Saad Khalifa, reported that Iraq’s Ministry of Water and Sewage had decided to change its name to simply the Ministry of Sewage — because it had given up on the water part.

In another episode, he jubilantly declared that “Rums bin Feld” had announced American troops were leaving the country on 1/1, in other words, on Jan. 1. His face crumpled when he realized he had made a mistake. The troops were not actually departing on any specific date, he clarified, but instead leaving one by one. At that rate, it would take more than 600 years for them to be gone.

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

Yeah. Or else it's a disguise to reduce his chances of being recognized and killed outside the show.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

Airstream, he looked way offline before the pinkification. Did he come all the way across the track?

I went in on the inside as I was much faster than him. He was intent on me not passing him. Locked 'em up. Came into me. Then spun in front of me. I almost t-boned him. Damage to my car is from the sharing of "rubber." I took the blame for the accident just to appease him, but I know people who were watching that said that it was all him, including the announcer.

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

"Did you get tickets from us? Please send us a photo and your phone number." WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

Ambush makeover. It's your fate in life.

Mostly lurking...

Well, huh.

I just got an e-mail from the Chair of the Boston Election Department thanking me for the letter I sent last week (thanking them for staying open late on the last day of voter registration for those of us who are procrastinators). I almost deleted the e-mail. I was certain it was spam.

Every one of her sentences ended with an exclamation point. Either they don't get letters like this often, so it's a VERY exciting thing, or this woman could never be a Buffista.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I bet the letter was very exciting!

Woo hoo! I've been meaning to call in for Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me since it's been a while since I've been in the mass media.....

I've been meaning to call in for Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me since it's been a while since I've been in the mass media.....

I'm convinced if I got on this show, I'd know all the answers to the pop culture stuff and miss all the sciency and international affairs crap and my parents would be listening and they'd be all who is this person and what have they done with our child as they REALLY don't get anything pop culture and dad especially is a big fat snob about anything entertainment gossipy and I'd be rolling my eyes explaining that and just ...no.

So I'll never try to call in. But you should.
