Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

They have fiber! Which keeps your digestive tract healthy, so that you can absorb vitamins. According to the crayon diagram on the commercial.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yes. Nutella, you know, is the only thing that will get kids to eat whole-grain bread.

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

Fruit is good for you. And a loop has no beginning and no end; it is eternal. So that must be good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Aargh, dcp. I'm sorry. I'm glad you're okay.

So quiet. Not helping with putting off the start of my day. Hmmph. 'K then. Coffee maker, here I come.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

dcp, glad the car gave its all to keep you safe. A crash like that would do a whole lot worse than a sore shoulder if not for crumple zones and so on.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I wonder how popular this will be: Conservatizing the Bible

The eager young men at Conservapedia are p.o.'d that the Bible might be seen as too liberal. So they've come up with the Wiki-style Conservative Bible Project, to make sure the Lord doesn't go all wobbly on us. Excerpt:

As of 2009, there is no fully conservative translation of the Bible which satisfies the following ten guidelines:[1]

Framework against Liberal Bias: providing a strong framework that enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias

Utilize Powerful Conservative Terms: using powerful new conservative terms as they develop;[3] defective translations use the word "comrade" three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words which have a change in meaning, such as "word", "peace", and "miracle"

Combat Harmful Addiction: combating addiction by using modern terms for it, such as "gamble" rather than "cast lots";[4] using modern political terms, such as "register" rather than "enroll" for the census

Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning

Exclude Later-Inserted Liberal Passages: excluding the later-inserted liberal passages that are not authentic, such as the adulteress story

WTF with respect to that last one. What passage is this?

Prefer Conciseness over Liberal Wordiness: preferring conciseness to the liberal style of high word-to-substance ratio; avoid compound negatives and unnecessary ambiguities

Thus, a project has begun among members of Conservapedia to translate the Bible in accordance with these principles.

eta: A comment:

Conservapedia is unfortunately not satirical at all. As other commenters have noticed, it was founded by Andy Schafly, Phyllis Schafly's demented son. The "Conservative Bible Project", in particular, was almost exclusively written by him personally -- check the article history.

Huh.
