The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm still stuck on #5. I thought real men still used film.

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

It's a little sad when a skill becomes obsolete, and a person who's mastered said skill switches from "manly-man" to "hobbyist" or "geek."

Have people heard this quote?

Punishingly Intricate

What if you don't have any?

Everybody has commitments and responsibilities.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Change a flat, yes. Clean a bolt-action rifle? I don't think I need to know how to do that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Huh. I'm 1/5 of a man.

Yeah. Manliness is more like, "Killing a bear with your bare hands."
