Oh, I remember that sort of thing from London all of the time! Once, I was on the tube to the airport, and there was a bag that didn't really seem to be near anyone. The security guy asked "is this anyone's bag" and no one claimed it. My BFF were looking at each other, and we had an unspoken agreement taht one of us was going to claim the damned thing and throw it out the door at the next stop :) Luckily the idiot whose bag it was suddenly clued in and claimed it.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This makes me think of the use of "quants" in the field of financial analysis, which is one reason the economy is in the tank.
Speaking as a quant in the field of financial analysis, let me say, MUWAHAHAHAHA!! Hey!
...Nah, it's a fair cop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
msbelle might want to take a pass on this week's Criminal Minds.... not exactly what she was worrying about, but child custody trauma all the same.

Um, as a costume person, the only quant I know is Mary Quant.

I was gonna comm the hoarding thing but then I decided maybe I keep too many quotes.
I am babysitting the canner now. I don`t know why I seem to think evening is a perfectly cromulent time to start these things when I know damn well it takes hours. But oh well, I will have tasty tasty chili preserved prettily in my pantry that I don`t have to defrost to use. Next up, spaghetti sauce. But I dunno when I`ll make that happen.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Right handed monkey wrench?
Elbow grease?
Key to the batter's box?
pre-2000 German administrative material?
In English?
hee. Nope. I forgot to tell him where I parked the car. D'oh!
I feel like my body chemistry is off. I have been tired and out of it and achey for days. I need a hot sauna and a massage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need a hot sauna and a massage.
I'm nauseous, but all I can think about is food. So that read "hot tuna and a sausage." Whichever fixes you is good.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hot sauna and a massage seems like a good answer to a lot of problems. Hot tuna and a sausage, somewhat less so. But I am still eating sausage right now and it's reasonably great. I managed to seriously overcook my angel hair spaghetti. I blame Matt Bomer.
And in the interest of spreading the joy outside of the Cable Drama thread, if you haven't been watching White Collar this season, this (aired on cable tv, but marginally NSFW nonetheless, minimally spoilery for season finale) is one of the reasons you should have been.

Now that can be misread any number of ways.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I blame Matt Bomer.
Because he's just that hot?
