Darth Vader's love interest. Or maybe some wacky fashion thing....
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Super Cute Ice Skating Monkey (video)
That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
There is a place called Meltz, here in Colorado, that is filling my Lush needs without the Lush smell overload. I believe there is a Lush out here somewhere too.
There's finally one here in Cincy that's part of a Macy's cosmetics department; it just so happens to be in the mall that is literally across the street from my office. Which is both AWESOME and bad for my bank account.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, that's an old one, dating back to the late '60s. I'd say it was part of popular culture into the '70s but not much after that....
When I signed up for my Freshman college classes in 1979 I was given a punchcard with the Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate advisory. So it was still present through the 70s in certain liberal arts colleges unwilling to invest in newfangled computer technology.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate sounds like a good band name.

The phrase had some countercultural meaning, right? Back when computers were all big mainframes, and represented The Man.

The Colbert Bump good for Dems
Democratic politicians receive a 40% increase in contributions in the 30 days after appearing on the comedy cable show The Colbert Report. In contrast, their Republican counterparts essentially gain nothing. These findings appear to validate anecdotal evidence regarding the political impact of the program, such as the assertions by host Stephen Colbert that appearing on his program provides candidates with a “Colbert bump” or a rise in support for their election campaigns.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anatoly Perminov, the head of the Russian Federal Space Agency, speculated that the ballistic reentry was connected to a Russian nautical superstition that having more women than men on a craft was unlucky.
It's about being closer to the earth, isn't it.

Yes, it was used ironically to say you did not want to be chewed up in The Man's Evil Machine.

Swouncing
Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate
I just had to look "spindle" up in the dictionary.
Which is extra note-worthy, in a way, considering the topic of conversation.
