Devi would be disgruntled if I put a CFL in the desklamp. She wouldn't be able to sit with her head up in the lampshade, warming her ears.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
"Roger Clemens adamantly, vehemently, and whatever other adjectives can be used, denies that he has ever used steroids or ... improper substances," Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin said Thursday.
If anyone has the full quote without the ellipses, it's even better, IIRC. (AFAIK Hardin is a pretty fancy lawyer, though.)

I just liked the light of the halogen better. And the dimmability. But then the halogen's rheostat died and I discovered that they no longer sell those inexpensive halogen torchiers everywhere.

So not killing people has its advantages then?

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

Maybe that's what "special projects" is....
