Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

People are suggesting that Canada should take over Iceland

Are we entering the age of Canadian imperialism? Should we worry about the Maple Menace of the north?

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 think we should refer to Canadian Bacon as "freedom pork."

Esquire endores Obama- apparently the first time they've made a presidential endorsement in 75 years.

Mmmmm, freedom pork.

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

I am with you, Sophia!

How often do you get the chance to wear something like that? I want to get married and put bridesmaids in them! I want to wear one to the Emmys and have David Boreanaz as my date!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Never mind. I have just found what can only be termed the ugliest quinceañera dress in the history of the universe.

Does quinceañera somehow symbolically involves one's lower body bursting into toxic green flames?

Esquire endores Obama- apparently the first time they've made a presidential endorsement in 75 years.

Not much of an endorsement of Obama at all, though. They make it pretty clear that they see him as indecisive (which I agree with, but they don't get into the reasons behind the diffidence, which is crucial), but that he's our only chance to stop the destruction of the American government and the American people. I get the sense that they would have endorsed whoever the Democratic candidate was.

I like the quince dresses. They're so foofy. I think most 15-year-old girls want to wear foofy. They're not all winners, of course, but huge skirts are immensely fun to wear, says the woman who owns hoops to wear under her Elizabethan garb for the SCA. If you can maneuver through doorways and around the furniture, huge skirts on hoops are as comfy as blue jeans.

there are lot of pictures of stock traders with looks of total shock on their faces. I've seen a lot of pictures like that in the last few days....

Have you seen Sad Guys On Trading Floors?

Silly but interesting fact: a local bakery in town has always done a "cookie poll" for the presidential election, with big-ass cookies that have the candidates' faces on them. The bakery keeps a tally of how many of each are bought, and the weird thing is that every election, the cookie poll is really close to the actual election results.

This year? Obama is WAY out in front. (Video clip [preceded by a commercial for Puffs]: [link]

I gotta go get me an Obama cookie.
