a cranky angry toddler.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Zoinky doinks. I love those cakes!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
What I love about Ace of Cakes is that, for all that Duff Goldman is a real showman and loves the camera, most of the show is spent with the other people at the bakery, especially the low-key Geoff (I love the quiet-yet-snarky type!) and the completely awesome (said with Dufflike enunciation) Mary Alice. In the commercial for the new ep, which is very Harry-Potteresque, you see her tell Duff, "Hey, Dumbledork, turn the lights back on!", which cracks me up every time I see it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I try so hard to be tolerant, but then other people are intolerant, and then I am intolerant of them.
I refuse to tolerate intolerance.
I am off work now! t /testing The Secret
Nope. Still here.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Nope, DJ. The universe heard "work now" from you.

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 try so hard to be tolerant, but then other people are intolerant, and then I am intolerant of them.
I think this depends on what kinds of tolerance and intolerance. There's a small minority of Christian fundamentalists who think I should be deprived of my civil rights for being an atheist. I don't think I should be so intolerant as to advocate the same thing for them, but I do think I should be intolerant to the point of trying to prevent them from actually imposing their beliefs on the rest of us (through legislation or whatever).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Well, just to show the universe, I'm not gonna do any!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, it works! I just thought to myself, "I wonder if the laundry's done?" and it suddenly stopped! It's the gravy train for me from here on out!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
But that's action and not belief, Tommyrot. I am all for not tolerating bad actions, no matter what belirf they spring from.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The universe being a cranky angry toddler explains so much.
Nilly once said to me that "no one knows god's scorecard."
Nilly is one of the few people who make me think there could be a beneficent god. I don't believe in god, but if more people actually acted on their beliefs the way Liese and Nilly do, the world would be a better place.
It's hokey, but my Mom used to read me Abou Ben Adhem.
My problem with the Secret and a number of religious people I know is that implication that if I was more positive or prayed more or led a better life, I could have avoided the ills in my life.
