You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Maybe they were REALLY singing "flubdub"!

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

<waits for tommyrot to pop in with the full lyrics of the Ewok song>

Just because I use it as an email tagline....

Yub nub / eee chop yub nub / ah toe meet toe pee-chee keene / g'noop dock fling

Which is not the complete lyrics, btw....

Scary-ass deap-sea beasties, never before photographed: [link]

A new book, "The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss" by Claire Nouvian, a French journalist and film director, reveals haunting images of some of the most bizarre creatures on the globe, ones that live in the deepest parts of the ocean. In many cases the creatures- some of which were photographed as far down as four miles- have never been recorded on film before, and some are still unidentified.

I have soy sauce all over my shirt. I'm not as vexed by this as I could be, because it looks likely that I'll be going to a concert I thought I'd miss out on, and even though I will possibly be the oldest person there, I think it will be awesome. And if I'm mistaken for anyone's mom, I'll just ostentatiously drink some beer, or something.

Just to show how weird my brain is... when I read the incomplete lyrics to the Ewoks song, my brain fills in the rest thusly:

Yub nub / eee chop yub nub / ah toe meet toe pee-chee keene / g'noop dock fling / can you tell me the way to get / the way to get to Sesame Street?

For once, I am truly able to use chatspeak without cringing: lol!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have the Golden Girls theme song in my head. Today is really shaping up miserably.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"Dutch, the coolest and trendiest of languages."

I had nothing to do with inserting the Golden Girls theme into ita's head.
