On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I'm having sinus headache issues today--the whole front of my face around my nose just throbs. Yuck.

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

Sophia, I am increasingly convinced people do NOT listen to themselves. Ever.

Matt, I'm so sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Speaking of phrasing, Hec, thought you might enjoy another colloquialism I heard recently: The rain was "coming down like piss out of a boot." Speaker is Georgia native (not sure what part) in his 50s.

Nice! Though I'm a little concerned with how the piss got in the boot.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dana! -t! Did you see Deuce is back? I don't know how he looks after a year away, but there you go.

ZOMG. That is unexpected.

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

Though I'm a little concerned with how the piss got in the boot.

That's what happens when you piss into the wind?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I heard about it from WWL, but didn't get details.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Piss in Boots could be a vulgar children's story featuring three brothers, the youngest of whom is not too stupid to pour piss out of a boot if the instructions are printed on the sole and thus makes it rain really hard.
