Awww... I want to go to Antarctica and use the ATM. I wonder what the use fees are?
Jayne: You wanna go, little man? Wash: Only if it's someplace with candlelight.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Here's a clip from the first episode of Community with the brilliant Ken Jeoung as Senor Chang. [link]
And they do these hilarious little outros, generally featuring Abed and Troy. [link]

In the far-off year 2010, we'll all do our work and schooling and library-book-reading on ingenious video screens that can connect to each other from anywhere around the globe.
Of course, in author Geoffrey Hoyle's 1972 vision, those screens are telephone-based, the size of a large dishwasher—and we use them while wearing practical and futuristic jumpsuits.
Daniel Sinker loved 2010: Living in the Future as a child, and now shares the book—in all its not-quite-on-the-money glory—with the Internets. Wait until you get to the part about "a series of tubes".

In the year 2010 everyone wears a jumpsuit and shoes. The clothes may look odd, but they are sensible. The jumpsuits and shoes are made in thousands of colors, from a material so light you can hardly feel it. The material keeps you warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love the serial comma.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think I'd ever read that caffeine was supposed to contribute to tinnitus, but here's a study that says it doesn't, and caffeine withdrawal may make it worse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Now I want a practical and futuristic jumpsuit to go with my flying car.
I am loving Parks and Rec this season. Community irritates me more than it amuses me, so I stopped watching, but I never liked Chevy Chase and I apparently don't like that Soup guy, either. Extras I loved, more than The Office UK. Gervais has an animated show coming on HBO, I know nothing about it beyond having seen a promo for it - the promo was very funny, Gervais and Merchant and someone else sitting around talking about the show's prospects

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Bwah!
When you have finished, you take your plate, cup, knife, fork, and spoon and drop them down the waste disposer. They are ground up and washed away into the sewers.
Even better:
You never need to go shopping for the weekly groceries. You just dial the supermarket on their vision phone....You give your order over the phone and it is recorded at the supermarket by a tape recorder. Later the same day the electric delivery truck arrives with your order.

Man, why does the Coffee Bean chai latte have to be so sweet? It's almost perfectly tasty.
