You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

"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

She told me she was going to call her mother and tell her I made her do work that was beneath her and that her mother would be really mad. I told her that if this was the worst thing that she ever had to do in her life, she was lucky!

My response to this would have been "Oh, well, if she's going to be mad, I might as well make it worthwhile. Want me to get you a toothbrush for cleaning the toilets and bathroom floors, or would you prefer to use your sleeves?"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

"OK, you know what would be awesome? If a dinosaur, like, fucked a robot!"?

Didn't T. Rex say this in a Dinosaur Comics at some point? If not, he should.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

100 days, 100 songs, 100 locations, 100 dances.

But the more you lick your fingers, the more orange goop sticks to them. It's like a vicious circle of numiness....

Which is AWESOME.

That is an eminently wise idea. I fully admit that they are NASTY. Particularly my work one, just because I've had it for so long. But my laptop keys are mungy, too. Although I regularly lift up the keyboard and get rid of the crud under it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A pub downtown has started serving a drink called "the Sully" in honor of the pilot who safely landed a plane in the Hudson.

"The Sully," which consists of two shots of Grey Goose vodka and "a splash of water." Carla Iny of Brooklyn tells the Post, "It's a classy drink for a classy man. It's cool and smooth—like Sully."

(The second comment on that post is in really poor taste, but I laughed anyway.)

Before the collision, space junk problems had already upped the Hubble mission's risk of a "catastrophic impact" beyond NASA's usual limits, Nature's Geoff Brumfiel reported today, and now the problem will be worse.

Um, the odds didn't change just because something finally did crash into something else....
