And it makes my world tremble to realize that I have had occasion to say, "You know, George the Elder wasn't really so bad."
Yeah, I've been thinking that for years, so I've gotten used to the world tremble. At least he was sane....
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wrod. And could name nations of the world and had a fair shot at finding them on the map.

Molly Ivins made up "Shrub".

Ann, that's a ferret.
"Shrub" caught on in some quarters.

Nobody's got anything on the etymology of Big Dog? Though these days Silver Fox is a good alternate. Some men do age well.

I liked "George the Lesser", but I don't think that ever caught on.
"Shrub" was a good one. I've heard that used quite a bit.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Reagan was also called "Dutch".

Calli, wrod. Maybe she made up "Big Dog," too, Connie. "Silver fox" makes me think of Keith Olbermann. Of course, so does looking at lineoleum, but seriously, looking at photos of him in his youth? Not the faintest glimmer that he'd be, like, the Fox Mulder of the news business. Even without the tacky pornstache. Well played, gravity. Great thanks.
