Man, having someone at my house during work hours is so helpful. I was able to call my mom and get some info I needed and am getting Free replacement Fire/CM detectors sent out to me now. The ones I bought in the Spring went belly up and they have a 5 year warrenty. PLUS she's cooking so dinner will be homemade and DONE. man, I need a house elf.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The guy who voted for the Lizard People comes forward!
Ahh, the race of lizard-men conspiracy theory. I had thought it was a Hitchhiker's reference.

That's what the allspice is for. Upon eating, it reveals them. Like those brownies on Angel.

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