How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

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

From Natter:
Alibelle: Do I know what that sentence that I just typed means? No, no I don't. But I think I've finally triggered the paper-writing gland in my brain which spits out long winded sentences that mean little to nothing.
Trudy: It's a delicate balance of sleep deprivation and caffine.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
billytea, on anti-alcohold ads in Oz:
We also had ads with the slogan "If you drink then drive, you're a bloody idiot", which is, admittedly, not entirely inaccurate. After a while, and the slogan became part of the national consciousness, they shortened it on some billboards to read "Drink. Drive. Bloody idiot." A couple of radio wags noted that this ran the risk of being taken as a command, directed at the segment of the population no doubt least able to resist it. And, of course, if the trend continued eventually we'd be left with billboards reading simply "Idiot."

I have a theory about the C word.
The native language of the Powers That Be has a word that happens sound just like one of our English words. It is pronounced and spelled like "Champion". It means "chewtoy".

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The ad where marijuana means you let random people have sex with you? Odd. The ad that says marijuana makes you dumb enough to shoot people?
Where are these people getting their weed? They need to try the Jamaican stuff instead.

Connor. He's like AAA, only better. Well, so maybe he can't start your car, but he can do backflips and light you on fire, and damn, he's kind of hot.

Man, I was at the grocery store yesterday (in the yuppie part of town -- it's the grocery store that's well-known for being a pickup joint), and it was about 5:30, so I assume that's post-TV football. These 3 college or immediately post-college kids got in line behind me, and they REEKED of beer. They were loud, they were stumbling all over, every time a cell phone rang they imitated it, they kept yelling "Go Steelers!", one guy kept putting a bag of frozen chicken breasts on his HEAD, and they kept talking about the party where they were so stoned that they didn't even know their own names.
I wanted to beat them to death with my can of protein powder, but I would have lost my place in the express line.

I'm actually in a pretty good mood, and I don't want to waste it on my coworkers, you know?

Hmm. I've only named my car and my lightbox. Cause, naming appliances? Well, then it's like a death in the family when they break.
