The world will crack / in a nuclear attack
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I checked that very link before I posted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
i won't let the sun go down on me
i won't let the sun go down
mother nature isn't in it
three hundred million years
goodbye in just a minute
gone forever, no more tears
pinball man, power glutton
vacuum inside his head
forefinger on the button
is he blue or is he red?

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

That's a weird way to sing about it...

Baby I could never steal u from another
Its such a shame our friendship had 2 end

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
To change the subject, Robin Givhan on Golden Globe fashion. She ends with some helpful tips for men:
Ordinarily, the gentlemen at such events are given an aesthetic pass. After all, their job is not difficult. Wear a classic tuxedo. Comb your hair. This year, however, those basic requirements proved too cumbersome for some men. Naveen Andrews of "Lost" could not be bothered to comb his hair; it was a snarled rat's nest. Clint Eastwood paired a perfectly lovely Giorgio Armani tuxedo with a gray bow tie, a combination that made him look as if he should be dealing blackjack on a Mississippi riverboat. And Philip Seymour Hoffman, who wore a pale blue tie with his black formal wear, looked so rumpled, unkempt and unsightly, that one wanted to lead an intervention. Phillip, you were so splendid in "Capote," don't let yourself go this way. A red carpet extravaganza does not require insightful questioning, thoughtful commentary or even cohesive speechmaking. But at the very least, a man should look as if he took time to bathe.

Inexplicably, I woke up this morning earwormed with Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places". I should have known that was heralding the apocalypse.
