Much of my spam arrives in a language with which I am unfamiliar, which seems to have roughly eleven different expressions for 'barely legal' but none for 'please remove me from your mailing list'.

An old roommate of mine named her car after me. It was a brown Lincoln town car, or something equally hello? You think I am a brown schmoozemobile?

My first name is from Stranger in a Strange Land. My late teen years were spent shouting at geeky boys "You do NOT grok me! And NO, I will NOT share water with you! Go away!"

Randomly, I buy Dawn washing up liquid because it's the only detergent named after a Buffy character.
I imagine it saying "get out, get out GET OUT!" to the bacon fat on my plates...

I'm slashdamaged now so when the portentous v.o. says: "Two men in love... [long pause] with the same woman" I just presume they're angling for the slash.

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
Steph L.: I'm gonna haunt Elena.
Elena: Please, like you don't already. {cues soft music and vaseline lens; walks along deserted beach, longing and loss expressed in my sea-blue-green eyes and perfect rosebud mouth, long silken hair tossed by the cruel wind, salt spray disguising tears}

FWIW, I've heard that the common Roman house dog wasn't a mastiff, it was a dog more similar to those tiny Italian greyhounds (scientific breeding hadn't been invented for dogs yet, so your dog was pretty much whatever the type of dog was for your area). So the "cave canem" was more like "Don't step on the dog!!!"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Okay, I was having mad fantasies of Connor betraying both of his dads, and locking them into a closet together with nerf bats. But perhaps I am strange and bloodthirsty.
