Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

ION, is it OK that a small group of SETI enthusiasts want to begin broadcasting strong radio signals to possible extraterrestrial civilizations? Some think this will put us at risk for alien invasion....

They should ask the Indians and other aboriginal peoples how contact with larger, more technologically advanced societies worked out for them. Overtly hostile invasion wouldn't be the only risk.

Same with the "I mean, it's really the only time you get to wear velvet."

Uh, no. Temperature is the only thing that prohibits me velvet.

Exactly. When I am Queen of Everything, the weather is going to be appropriate for velvet and tights all year.

I don't think my outfit is particularly festive: black velvet dress w/ petticoats, b&w stripy tights, black top hat with pink silk roses, pink faux-fur capelet. Tho' a whole bunch of people I don't know waved at me when I walked through the cafeteria, so maybe they thought I was a caroler. Top hats confuse people, apparently.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Top hats confuse people, apparently.

Lions, also. Hence, the reason their trainers wear them.

I don't see getting the 24th off as any more problematic than getting the 25th off in the first place, really.

Well, yeah. That was kind of my point, if not well-stated.

I bet Colin in a Santa hat was very cute.

I have a Santa hat, but it's on the tree.

So my back-up plan of run away and join the circus is totally appropriate!

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

I saw a guy in a top hat recently, and it confused me. He was waiting for a train. He was dressed completely normal except for the hat. (IIRC he was wearing slacks, maybe a sweater, under a light zip-up jacket.)

What is it that makes shortbread cookies so nummy?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Butter. (It's also what makes them shortbread.)

That was my guess.

What about shortcake? Same deal?

I saw a guy in a top hat recently, and it confused me. He was waiting for a train.

Which railway was he taking, the Pennsylvania, the B&0, the Short Line, or the Reading?
