When does it become midnight in Australia? We need to be prepared for when billytea shows up and taunts us about how awesome the next decade is.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You do recall that it's summer here, yes? It's going to be like that Cosby sketch all over again.

Well, if we send them over the intertubes they'll still be frozen when they get there.

No it's not, because I've never seen that episode.

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

If you've had the Do Not Disturb sign on your door your entire stay, do you still tip housekeeping per night?

It must be fun to live in Tim Burton's brain....

Mothera (a play on the name of Godzilla's nemesis, Mothra) perfectly captures this tension: a caricature of the archetypal housewife, rendered as a screeching demon slug.
