Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

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

I read that as 'cosmic catbox.'

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

From the (1956) article: "Still other rites are used to make women's breasts larger if they are small, and smaller if they are large. General dissatisfaction with breast shape is symbolized in the fact that the ideal form is virtually outside the range of human variation. A few women afflicted with almost inhuman hypermammary development are so idolized that they make a handsome living by simply going from village to village and permitting the natives to stare at them for a fee."

Is that even a wank? Why lie about something so lame if all you're going to talk about is Harry Potter? She left a flounceapology on her LJ that fessed up to her lameness and wanting to make an identity for herself that she always wanted.
It's a lame-ass lie, but it's also ne plus ultra lame that it got wanked and made f_w.
What would you add (or delete)?
Clothing for pets.

Don't they have to lip-synch in addition to the staring?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Without clothing for pets, the internets would be forever without Beedogs!

Pets at all are pretty odd when you look at it.
Lots of dogs in my 'hood wear coats at this time of year. I differentiate that from the clothing that's purely for effect.
