Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I'm so sorry I broke your toilet that one time.... It was so freaky. Possessed flushing toilet at 11 pm! Ahhhrg!

Why would anyone say "flossy, flossy" and in what context?

A really annoying dentist?

I was flipping channels and caught Leila Ali dancing. Crap, she's gorgeous, moves incredibly and has an awesome voice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Vortex! I now remember that on the way to work, I did think to look it up on Urban Dictionary, but then by the time I was at my desk, I had forgotten again.

Stupid Fergie -- why must her songs be so catchy?!?

I still say it originated from an annoying (addendum: crass) dentist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I say it's the name of a children's cartoon character designed to get kids to floss. They did a whole ad campaign, but when they test-marketed it they discovered that Flossy Flossy was too psychedelic and was encouraging kids to do hallucinogens.

I might have made that up.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What about Freddie? And Nan and Bert?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Okay, so maybe I skimmed.

SO?

OK, some weird pop-culture factoid just popped into my head and I'm trying to figure out if it's true. Was there some '70s sitcom where a female character was in a bar or on a date or something and a guy slipped LSD into her drink?

It's possible I'm confusing this with an actual event when I was in college....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh thank goodness. I'm so glad that this is just slang, and not a reference to the elderly lady who used to host me when I came to visit my then-boyfriend SO. Also? How funny is it that 3 of the sidebar google ads are for dentistry. Not all context-sensitive ads are applicable!

Also, I empathize about the plumbing. Plumbing woes suck.

Art Crawl!!!

During both Prison Break AND 24 a promo for Bones aired in which I could swear I saw Michael Vartan dressed as a priest. Did anyone else see what I saw?
