Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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 sounds kinda like what happened to me at work

I knew we had talked about this recently, but I couldn't remember who or what exactly...

Oh, and when I said "here" I meant at work, not in this thread. The thread suggestion was that it's WebDAV.

I'm so totally going with Expression.

The idea of one cable is hot, but I don't know how much I'd spend to achieve it.
