Admit it Sean -- you were reading it while eating a veggie-burger, weren't you? WEREN'T YOU???
Well, S is vegetarian herself, and who knows what kind of non-meat products she slips me on a regular basis.
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.

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

She's probably sneaking a lot of the estrogens into your diet.

Coding and Sleeping
Or they would be, if (1) they weren't meant in all seriousness, and (2) read by too many people that take them seriously.
Yeah, that part isn't so funny.

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

Tsk tsk. And there you were about to blame your soy-fueled gayness on Daddy Dobson's penis obsession! For shame...

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
Do not wrap gifts. During the screening process, it is sometimes necessary to closely inspect items. Wrapped gifts delay the screening process and will not be re-wrapped by security officers.
I'm cracking up at the thought of security officers re-wrapping presents. They sit at a big table and all wear santa hats...

the estrogens
Plural is actually correct if you're speaking in physiological terms. There is more than one kind of estrogen.

I should have known this was the place to ask the "who tells scary ghost stories at Christmas" question and had everybody's hand go up.
I think ghost stories at Christmas are kind of traditional in the UK. Robertson Davies would tell a ghost story every Christmas, too (though they're more silly than scary).

Was the Hans Christian Anderson story about the girl who sold matches a Christmas story? Or just a winter story? I think that was my favorite story as a kid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think that was my favorite story as a kid.
The Little Match Girl was your favorite story? Was Shoah your favorite movie?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I once heard this awesome Christmas story called "Oh What a Horrible Tale" about an out-of-work actor who was trying to feed his family. He finally gets work as a duck in a play, and he goes on as the duck every night, and it's almost enough to make ends meet but not enough for anything like a Christmas dinner or anything.
The story ends with the actor falling asleep at home on Christmas Eve, thinking sadly about how his family will have nothing special in the morning, and as he nods off he's thinking about his role in the play, and how easy and natural it is to slip into that role... and in the morning his wife wakes up and finds a Christmas duck in the living room and makes Christmas dinner with it and the children all feel like their holiday was special. Although, weirdly, Dad is off working...?
