Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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 want to hear the story of how shrift and Dana met!! Please? With funny details?

Yeah! The statue of limitations must have expired by now, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I... don't seem to be doing anything for my birthday. Which is kind of lame and sad, but I've been sick and I'm tired, and it's too freaking cold to go out and party after work.

Then you'll be sure not to run across an annoying waiter! FTW!

Happy birthday shrift!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, shrift!

It's -10° F outside right now.

Welcome to the Upper Midwest. Wait until that's the high for the day.

Ah, 29 . . . I'm 47 and am starting to get the "What the hell have you done with your life, loser?" pangs.

Wrod on the killing of people who make the "29 for the first time" joke. I enjoy trotting out the truth to the faux funny people who ask my age, waiting for some stupid reply.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I don't know, shrift, is there a story? Beyond the general hilarity of Nikita fandom?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm only 32 and I hate those freaking "Oh, you mean 29 for the fourth time?" people! No! I mean 32! What the hell is wrong with 32!?!

We were in Canada and surrounded by insanity. Um. I was probably wearing vinyl pants? Was that the year I wrote porn on napkins and the con drank the hotel bar out of tequila on the first night?

The problem with this world is there are more people who think they are funny than there are people who are funny.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

(raises hand) Yeah, sorry about that. I'm taking medication, now.
