if you ask him out, I'll ask out the FedEx girl.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, Fay, can we ask him out for you?
TV is totally bumming me out. These peopledo not exist. Why must they do this to me?

Fay, listen to Pete. Take his advice.
Don't go through life regretting that you didn't ask. Where would I be if I hadn't asked out Jilli, eh?

At least your significant other is not sitting three feet away from you listening to the original Disney "Adventure Through Inner Space" ride dialogue and sound track. "...but though your body will shrink, your mind will expand...CAN THIS BE THE THRESHOLD OF INNER SPACE?" (creepy faux 60's space sounds)
Fay, what they said. ASK. He sounds fantastic! And you ARE fantastic. Match made in heaven.

Yes, Fay, ask!
I'm reading the Washington Post series on childhood obesity. The writing and reporting are both horrible. (Well, the writing I'm used to -- I frequently have an urge to take a red pen to the Post.) First article, they keep using the terms "overweight" and "obese" without defining either one, and frequently using them as synonyms. They cite "studies by scientists" without giving any information about these studies.
Then, there's a sidebar about finding "healthy" foods that your kids will eat. Mac and cheese from a box (some of the ones they mentioned are at least whole wheat, others aren't), pasta with tomato sauce, and chicken and hamburgers. The chicken and hamburgers are the only things they mention that don't come out of a box or bag or jar, and they don't mention anything at all about getting lean cuts -- just, hamburgers and chicken. And serve them with frozen french fries, which they don't mention can be baked rather than fried.

...they're citing these as the HEALTHY things?? Dear god, what are the bad things??

For mac and cheese lovers, there's Kraft Whole Grain Macaroni and Cheese; Annie's Homegrown Totally Natural Arthur Macaroni & Cheese, or Bunny Pasta with Yummy Cheese. Whole Foods 365 Everyday Macaroni and Cheese is a bargain at about 99 cents and has nearly the same ingredients as Annie's for a fraction of the cost.
Broiled or grilled burgers and chicken are a snap to make. Simply add fries from the frozen food section, for better nutrition than you'd get at the drive-through. Ian's Sweet Potato Fries have 70 calories per serving of seven chunky fries. They're low in sodium and fat, and provide nearly three times the daily intake of Vitamin A. Compare with Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Fast Food Fries, with about double the calories and fat, and nearly 10 times the sodium and no Vitamin A.
There is not a single vegetable in this article. (I'm not counting jarred tomato sauce.)
