Tom, they are demolishing a lot of that right now, and it sort of makes me sad. I like the old buildings and wish we could keep some of them. "They" have also knocked down a lot of homes in not-so nice neighborhoods and put up really shiny, cheap, affordable houses that are now falling apart. It seems like it would be just as easy to fix up the old, sturdy houses, but what do I know
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

I'm overthinking everything and shorting out. Why?!!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So, not to interrupt dress code and creepy mental hospital talk, but can I ask a hypothetical?
Say you happened to beat the everliving crap out of your baby toe. (Not on purpose.) And it was sore a lot a lot, and you decided to cut your toenail on the vague impression that it might fall off anyway. And when you cut your toenail, you discovered a reservoir of fresh blood under the nail. Still liquid, even, a day later.
Am I going to die of toe cancer?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yes. Yes, you are. You should cut your whole foot off to avoid dying tomorrow.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I know that the response to a broken little toe is to tape it to the next toe.
That probably doesn't help, does it?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You had some blood pooled under your toenail is all Nutty.
You might want to wash it continuously with Hydrogen Peroxide for a while.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Somebody told me once that the toe-taping thing is a myth, and you're just as well-off not taping. Anyway, I don't think it's broken.
The irony of it all is, I have red toenail polish on. My baby toe is usually too small a nail to bother painting. But right now, five red toenails!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm overthinking everything and shorting out. Why?!!
Because you're about to go out of town.
Am I going to die of toe cancer?
No, but you might bleed out.

Nutty Jane, I thought you were handy. Apparently you're not toesy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Somebody told me once that the toe-taping thing is a myth, and you're just as well-off not taping.
I broke my toe once. I pretty much could not walk if the toes were not taped together. When they were taped together and I wore the right shoes, I could walk with no pain whatsoever.
