Well sure, it's not like the Donner party had woks.
Now I'm wondering if they used spices.
"A little oregano, some garlic and pepper, and you'd never know it's grandma."
I'm a sick, sick person, huh?
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
This particular song features the line, "When you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall." Which isn't quite as bad as "You were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter," but still pretty bad.
Um, what? If you're going for meaningless incoherence, you need to go all out. "You were Little House on the Prairie, I was Wind in the Willows" or some shit. At least then you sound deep. Or crazy, but it's about the same thing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The first few times I heard that song, I tried to convince myself that she was actually saying "I wore the scarlet letter," because that actually makes some sense as a sentence, even if it doesn't make any sense with the rest of the song, since the rest of the song is all about how young and innocent she was. But, no. It's definitely "I was the scarlet letter."

On that a capella show from a few months ago, a group of women in their forties and fifties sang this song, and they made it actually make sense -- they sang it as older women looking back on the silly drama of youth, and it actually works when it's sung with some awareness that it is silly drama. It sounds ridiculous when sung seriously from the midst of that drama.

Wait, what? That is nonsensical.

Heh. I went through that a year or two ago. Of course, there were fewer archives back then.

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