Madrigal: Woohoo, able to sneak into the ides, apparently just in time to catch the big stab fest - I mean, that is how one has to end an ides. It's traditionical.

Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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

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
flea: A big truck just dumped what is probably a literal ton of gravel in front of my house. It's so fun living in a sewer replacement zone! (Note: this is said seriously.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Shawn: They should stop calling that stuff TCBY, while they're at it.
Madrigal Costello: Or at least specify which country the C in TCBY stands for.

No bees were intentionally hurt harvesting our honey, but they DID get all hopped up on second-hand smoke, and would often stay up late humming songs around the tiny bee piano, afterwards.

I feel today just about like I did two weeks ago. Except -- this morning I felt fine. Coughing like a mofo, but I wasn't tired or achey or congested. Now I have a really bad sore throat, stiff neck and headache.
Someone evidently misrouted something, and I need to send these symptoms back.

Sue: Right before I woke up this morning, I dreamt that I was trying to invent a potato that could transcend time and space. Then someone told me it had already been invented. "It's call the Time and Space Potato," they told me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Tag-team Bush contempt:
Wolfram: I don't know what I find more distasteful, the fact that A) he thinks nothing of spending 170 million dollars to campaign against nobody
Gudanov: Hey, let's not dismiss nobody as a viable Republican candidate in 2004. I'd be happy to support nobody in the Republican primary.
Wolfram: Well let's see nobody's credentials: nobody's taken responsibility for the economic mess the Republicans are making, nobody in the Republican party really knows what he's doing, nobody gives a straight answer when questioned about muddled and mishandled foreign and domestic policies.
Yep, I'll vote for nobody in the primaries too.

I also remember channel surfing a day or so after the attacks, desperate to escape the 9/11 coverage and coming across Sabrina Down Under.

It's a remora, dimwit.
