Hobbes was not simply the product of Calvin's perfervid brain.
Damned straight.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
EW had an article recently on sidekicks who were cooler than their heroes. They noted Willow, R2D2, Hobbes and Gromit.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Have we heard of this? [link] I'm listening to a local radio show on it now.
Also, to add to Hec's list JEEVES!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Dana, my sistah in itch! I've taken the hairdryer to spots, too. But benedryl helps me, so I'm lucky there. I have, in severe cases of mosquito bites, taken oral benedryl along with applying the benedryl cream. I've heard you aren't supposed to do that, but I'd scratch myself raw if I didn't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hobbes was not cooler than Calvin. Weirdo.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Hobbes was not cooler than Calvin. Weirdo.
True dat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I honestly feel a little guilty complaining when I know you have it worse. I raise my hair dryer in itchy solidarity with you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Funny air traffic control quotes: [link]
A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down. San Jose Tower noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadalupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."
Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I know why he has to speak in English! Because screaming AIEEEE may be the only universal part of a given language, and we prefer to avoid that part.
(Yes, hello, watched a docu on the Tenerife air disaster a couple weeks ago, and hello to the phenomenally stupid.)

Don't feel guilty. I have a prescription for narcotic painkillers! I'm not hurting.
Jetblue sent me an email. Bad news: the jet I'm scheduled to fly out in on Friday is going in for maintenance. Good news: Flight not cancelled, I'm booked on another airline. And I get a $25 voucher for future flights.
