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.)
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

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.

"Tell me about it, gumball, because today is a good day to die."
"Yellow Rose of Texas was a bit weird, pot roast, and now today's definitely a good day to die."

I am so intrigued. What thread is that from?

Pinwiz was channelling what it would have been like if the Angel actors had been cast in Star Trek: The Next Generation, so that was Lorne-as-Worf. This is over in Box Set.
