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 have butter. But no proper herbs to speak of.

Plus now I have my heart set on takeout....

Awesome men's 1967 fashion:

"...The Cosmoboy, a red reversible whipcord vest jacket, priced at $250 at the Cardin Masculine Collection in Bonwit Tellers, New York, New York. The designer successfully incorporates the new Space Age trim, slim look and the practical no-nonsense quality of the actual space suit."

Also, note the "Shaggy goat coat" above it....

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I know all kinds of things to do with naked macaroni noodles on account of my sometimes irresistable craving for one box of kraft macaroni and cheese with the sauce from two boxes. Properly eaten out of the pot it was cooked in with a wooden spoon.

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

I think Vin Diesel would rock both those pieces of clothing.

I'm fairly certain I've seen a picture of a bare chested Mick Jagger in the goat coat.

Well, The Stones did have their "Goat's Head Soup" album, so maybe they killed two birds with one goat.

Help. How do you pronounce "satiety"?

Huh. I have always heard it pronounced (and pronouncced it myself):

Suh-TIE-uh-TEE.

Aaaaaand a quick consultation with every dictionary in the house bears out suh-TIE-uh-TEE as the current correct pronounciation. However, the Compact Edition of the Unabridged Oxford English Dictionary (yes, we have a copy in the house, it's one of the reasons I love S very much) does point out, in its article about the word "satiety", that in 1828 Walker (whoever that is) noted that SAY-shuh-tee (or something akin to that) was the common pronounciation of his day, though he protested against it as being contrary to all analogous words known. His protests were apparently effective, as that pronounciation is now obsolete.

Huh. That's how I've always heard and said it.
