Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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

And if they are not quite pure quiverfull, their ideology is certainly a variation on that.

Lots of conservative religious people eschew birth control. Arguably ALL of them are variations on Quiverfull. "They're trying to breed themselves into dominance" has been opined about all of them (and by some of them).

I don't know if there is pure Quiverfull. I don't think it's a membership thing with dues and rules and a Quiverfull Pope so much as a philosophy adopted in various degrees and permutations by various people. It seems to be, like so many things, largely a matter of self-identification.

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

A whole bunch of the guys in my department have started watching "Jersey Shore" and discussing it all the time in the office. I cannot stop cringing. All day, people talking about how Guidos are so stupid and hilarious.

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

The girl who was reading "The Black Stallion" in first grade.

Which had no horns or strange virgin mythology...or did it?

I had a friend who sent out "I am no longer a friend to unicorns" postcards when she lost her virginity. Internationally. She was odd in many ways.

The rule is that all or any structure is used for religious services. Jim Bob ran for office in Arkansas not too long ago-though he lost.

Everyone start a bible study RIGHT NOW!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Tim Curry scared me in Legend; I think it was puberty and they whole sexual dance thing. But that character freaked me the fuck out. (This is way, way before I'd ever even heard of Rocky Horror.)

I was 9, IJS.

But yeah, the goth princess dress was made of awesome.

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

In theory, I think a Predator-inspired motorcycle could be cool, but this just looks goofy:

Legend is quite pretty, so it's kind of worth looking at. It is not worth listening to, though.

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

We just got the following e-mail from Facilities:

Great news, Costco has signed a one year agreement with Coca-Cola. Coke products will return on the next Costco order. Thanks for your patience during this non-coke period.

I almost want to make "Thanks for your patience during this non-Coke period" my new tag.

Dude. You totally did not take a bunch of people hostage and demand Coke. Go you!
