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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had a Cabbage Patch Kids lunchbox, and a Pound Puppies one. Maybe also Care Bears?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can't remember what my lunch box was. I think it was pink and had a thermos. Switched to brown paper bags pretty quickly, though.
I know my brother had a Hot Wheels lunchbox because my mom used it to hold her good silverware until recently.

Neither. They had a giant Government Spin Machine helping them out.
Actually, I think not a single word that came out of the Shrub's mouth was his invention. He was a massive sock-puppet.
Which unfortunately begs the speculation "Whose hand?"

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I still blame my orange tupperware lunch box for the ridicule i suffered in elementary school! I so wanted a metal lunch box with a thermos like everyone else had. or a paper bag. Plus my mom put Hi-C in the tupperware cup and it did not seal well, so I usually had a soggy sandwich.

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

It's these little indignities that stick with one, isn't it? On summer swimteam everyone would eat un-made jell-o from the box during meets -- just lick a finger and stick it in. My Mother absolutely refused to let me do it. (And I was entirely too well behaved to score a box of jell-o on my own).
I know we can't afford the right jeans and the right sneakers and all the Hello Kitty pencils and notebooks, but you can't drop your hippie nutrition sensibilities once a week and let me mainline some sugar, artificial color, and protien?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
The BBC used the words "feckless lush" relative to Ted Kennedy. Granted it was more along the lines of "he's proven himself to be more than just a feckless lush." But still. Also their coverage is all about Ted Kennedy/Northern Ireland which is interesting to hear from my perspective.

Favorite lunchbox: Muppet Show. I had some other ones, but that was the best.

I never had a lunchbox. I went home for lunch everyday.
