Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The turkey is out of the smoker. The pie is out of the oven. The dressing is in the oven. The potatoes are on the stove, with water working toward boiling. Today is the nearest day to Thanksgiving that Todd and I are both in town and not at rehearsal, so it'll do.

From the annals of stupid: Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn’t expect he would attack,

Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn’t expect he would attack,
My favorite part is there were two other panda biting incidents in the last year involving people that wanted to cuddle with them.
It's rare that stupidity is so perfectly rewarded.

I SO want Stewart or Colbert to get their hands on this one.

Years ago, I saw a documentary about the first pandas in America. The image is seared onto my brain of their first American keeper sitting at a picnic table in a short sleeve shirt that did not cover his metal arm and hook. A replacement for the arm one of the pandas had ripped off and eaten. He sighed heavily and said in a world weary voice, "Yeah, they're cute."
Dude. Bummer.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Dayum. I mean, they're herbivores. You (or, at least I) don't think of them being quite that vicious.

I know! It was shocking, but only because we are so attracted to cute. A bear is a bear is a bear. Lot's of teeth and claws and not much smart, ya know?

Even wee little Devi looks all cute and cuddly, yet woe if you ignore her teeth and claws.
I've cleaned and run a million errands. Printed out cat care sheets, found spare key set and washed out all the cats' dishes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
they're herbivores.
Not exactly. They primarily chow down on bamboo but they have been known to eat small animals in the wild.
