I can't vote without sufficient information. Do the piranhas have frickin laser guns strapped to their heads?
They could. But then you really need the self-destructing lasers, and they cost extra.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
is it true that using "fuckin..." like "um" is a Boston thing?? Like, "Yeah, we went to the... fuckin... oh yeah, the store..."?
Among working class white guys? Yeah, I'd say so. Except it's not in the middle of a sentence so much as between one sentence and the next, the way other people would say "So, like," as a topic transition and to give themselves a moment to manufacture a grammatical utterance.
So, more of a
I went to the store. And fuckennnnn... Did you know grandma smokes pot sometimes?

I went to the fuckennnnn, what's that thing? the, the, the fucken Big E, that's what it's called.
Although the latter also happens. This is why I do not feel too badly about my pottymouth.

Kathy, cross stitch, yay! I have to say I think I like the middle one best as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I mean, I want to know if it's only a Boston thing. Because I've more or less stopped doing it, at least at work, but it's still my natural inclination.

Friday Night Lights can stop making me cry any time now. Or, you know, not. Jesus, that's some good TV.

shrift, how'd you survive the first 5 minutes?
( Lost my shit for that boy and that girl I don't know if that's the first place I've seen that addressed on teevee, but it didn't feel trite or Afternoon Special. Curious to me.)

What about this? Or this?
Ailleann, I like them both! I think I like the first one better for Kris. This is going to be a hard decision, I can tell!

I need to start watching FNL, aren't I?

I always have trouble picking projects for other people. That's why I usually don't end up cross-stitching things for gifts.
However, my next project will be a special request. A friend made a joke about having something to hang in his house that says "Home Is Where The Booze Is." Little does he know...

I refuse to take on any more shows, damnit!
And will I get in trouble for reading Shrift's porn now while I'm still at the office? They can't blame me for reading porn when I'm here at 8:15, can they?
