Drug-sniffing dogs rode the L with me. They looked all, "Woe, why are you putting me in this crowded, shaking metal box?"

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

Oh my.
So many classic lines, I don't know what to quote:
Cooper and I took the dog for a walk. I couldn't resist the way his ass swayed back and forth, so I dragged him behind a bush and took him from behind.
...and...
"He grabbed hold of his meat and pulled out a condom."
...and...
I squeezed the bartender's nipple and he refilled my empty glass.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'd be really, really uncomfortable selling my book myself, or asking anyone to do it for me.
That makes perfect sense -- just wanted to be sure you knew it might be a possibility. A lot of people never realize that bookstores do such things (especially for authors they know and like).

So who here has heard of Norman Borlaug? I hadn't.
I saw Season 2 West Wing, so I had, but that's the only reason why (he was referenced in the ep with the African leader who was trying to get AIDS drugs cheap from the drug manufacturers).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What they said, paperdol. You're doing free advertising for their wares.
My boss seems to be trying to get me in at 6am tomorrow morning. Luckily co-workers are pushing back.

I just heard of him yesterday because of the paleo future blog, it talked about the book that was referenced in the article about the future.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
OMG. I don't mean to come off like a kid-hating bitch, but I cannot get work done with them shrieking and stomping outside my office door.
Headache advancing fast.
Have shut door and turned up radio.
