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

If you've ever wanted to see a guy lick his own eyeballs

No. But thanks anyway.

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

Oh! Dave!

I got nothing intelligible to say on the subject.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If it helps, tommy, he is by no means an attractive fellow, and even his fascinating talent does not spur in me an urge to bed him.

Oh, that doesn't help? Okay.

So, nobody else cares that that old dude can pull his lower lip up over his nose?

I just woke up from a nap. I dreamed my cordless drill needs recharging. It's possible this is the most useful dream I've ever had.

But does it really need it?

The thing is, I just don't know - it's been a week since I charged it. I could just not charge it to test the accuracy of my dream, but why take the chance of it not working when I need it to?

Pop culture blindspots. Not all belonging to one person. I must admit, I share more than one...and I wouldn't call not having seen Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas that big a deal. Not like not having seen any Star Wars movie.

Need for truth, that's why!

How to avoid a speeding ticket.

AOL Auto has these tips:

* Drive within 5-10 mph of surrounding traffic. Police officers are usually looking for drivers that are going noticeably faster than the other cars on the road.

* Try to stay in the middle of the pack. If you're the lead car, logic says you'll be the first car to run past any radar trap up ahead.

* Do not change lanes frequently, tailgate or otherwise drive aggressively.

What it really comes down to is: Don't call attention to yourself. Often a cop has some reason to think you're speeding before s/he ever decides to use the radar gun on you. So to the above list, I'd add: Don't cruise continuously in the left lane. Use it to pass, but move to the middle/right when you can. If you're going fast, slow down to pass other cars - a car that's blowing past the cars around it is more obviously speeding than a car that's going fast but with no nearby cars to compare it to.
