Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

(what he said to the intelligence guy who warned him about 9-11)

Didn't he also say that, or something very similar to it, to the people warning him about Katrina two days before it hit NOLA?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Well, if we ever start a Politics thread, we have plenty of possible titles lined up.

And no, I'm not suggesting we start one. No way, no how, no, no, no.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My insurance company just denied my ketamine treatment. Experimental, they say. Which makes me wonder--do the insurance companies ever pay for most of what House does on his way to a cure?

eta: Now I have a grammar question. I understand that the "I wonder--does [...]" sentence ends in a question mark, but how do you end the "I wonder if [...]" sentence? A full stop?
