Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

What I've heard about the westboro church is that it is fundamentally a for-profit enterprize . The family (it is all one family) is as offensive and provocative as possible while barely staying within the limits of where the law protects their first amendment rights. And since they are committing those provocations at very emotional moments in peoples lives, a lot of individuals and even institutions do stuff they can be sued for. And they make quite a nice living off those suits. So, essentially meatspace trolls.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

For the first time possibly ever, I shut my door so I could read and relax during my half-hour lunch, rather than working.

Number of knocks on my door in the last ten minutes: Two.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I feel for you Dana. I can go a whole morning without co-workers needing to speak to me, and then the instant I raise a spoon or sandwich to my mouth they're clamoring at my door with something that just can't wait 10 minutes.

I had plans for today. I was going to work, go to the gym, and hit the grocery store for yogurt, but my sinuses are in REVOLT and I didn't even snort any hot bean juice into them this morning.

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

Little Billy's Letters to famous and infamous people

In the 1990s Bill Geerhart was an unemployed, not-so aspiring screenwriter in his 30s. To pass the time, he channeled his inner child, 10-year-old Billy, and started writing letters to famous and infamous people and institutions. These letters, written in pencil on elementary school ruled paper, asked funny but relevant questions to politicians, serial killers, movie stars, lobbyists, CEOs, and celebrity lawyers.

Geerhart saved copies of his letters and the replies he got back. This week, Harper Collins published them in a book called Little Billy's Letters: An Incorrigible Inner Child's Correspondence with the Famous, Infamous, and Just Plain Bewildered. The publisher gave us permission to run some of our favorites. Enjoy!

Aw man, now I really want to be a hobo. What an awesome response.
