I think it is a magical, magical land that we live in to give us such ambrosia.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Now I'm trying to figure out if Aims means the bacon mayonnaise or Vegas.

To be fair, most of what makes Vegas Vegas was kind of "eh" for me. I don't play cards much, the slots did nothing for me, and I'm not all that interested in shows. But being able to go from pool to room to restaurant to nightclub without ever having to leave the hotel network? I kinda liked that.
Plus being upgraded to the bridal suite, or whatever it was we had. That rocked.

I love Buffista Vegas!
No I'm hearing "Buffista Las Vegas!" in my head to the tune of "Viva Las Vegas!"
And now, so are all of you...

Put the bacon mayonnaise IN Vegas, and I will live there.

I haven't checked out the Kindle, but my first thought was, "Hey that is pretty cool...". Then I heard the price and my thought ended with "...for somebody else."
My housemate loves his Kindle and can't wait to get his Kindle 2 (but he didn't have to pay for either). I love the idea of reading newspapers without the newspaper, but I couldn't standing reading on that thing. Plus, I get books from the library--at $10 a pop the cost would add up quickly.

There's a lot of Project Gutenberg books available free formatted for Kindle. So it doesn't all cost.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I exchanged emails with the guy from the bar Juliana and I went to
Whoo, that was a fun night.
Vegas, for me, is all about letting my id out to play. Which basically means going from buffet to pool to bar - rinse, lather, repeat. Sometimes it involves teaching Emily how to accept drinks from conventioneers, sometimes it's waltzing with meara in the middle of the Golden Nugget, sometimes it requires hitting the Double Down with lisah's bandmate until 6 in the morning.
I mean, my motto is almost always "It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time." In Vegas, my motto is "It Seemed Like A GREAT Idea At The Time, But Hold My Beer, Because I Want To Try Something."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well I think that it's just, and science is more and more documenting this, is that there are real "chinks" in the armor of evolution being the only way we came about. The idea of there being a, you know, a little mud hole and two mosquitoes get together and the next thing you know you have a human being... is completely at odds with, you know, one of the laws of thermodynamics which is the law of, of ... in essence, destruction.
-Governor Mark Sanford of Carolina
I'm getting really tired of the "evolution violates the laws of thermodynamics" argument.....
