Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

High schools do it. Colleges do it. All of them. Students decline to get it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I remember that, too, Hil. In fact, I was so scared of accidentally plagiarising something, I cited almost everything, including things like "Albany is the capital city of NY). But from what I remember, they were really into "if you find the same thing in three sources, it is common knowledge and you do not need to footnote".

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So I was just in Burritoville, waiting for my lunch order to come up, when suddenly there was a power outage, and the lights went out -- just in the restaurant, and nowhere else.

This may be a sign that I personally am the epicenter of the apocalypse. I'll let you know if the Darkness continues to follow me around.

not your mom's socks.

I am, however, disappointed that the plush nucleons are not zippered covers that contain little up and down plush quarks.

Diet Coke hurts when exiting nose.

This may be a sign that I personally am the epicenter of the apocalypse.

I wish officemate's called would understand that if officemate is not answering either of his phones, perhaps the man is NOT HERE. Leave a damned message already.

The 4x100 free relay was very exciting.

I was torn, but happy for Phelps. I'm still trying to get used to the fact of the French being competitive in something that doesn't involve a sword or a paddle. Or judo. It's weird.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
