We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

From this post about the latest VB wank:

Let me go then, this incarnation of I,
When my fandom is spread out against the sky
Like a fangirl etherised upon a table;
Let me go, through certain half-deserted IPs,
seeking new IDs
Of bloody nights in Irish pubs
And saving maidens I must bid adieu:
Posts that follow are more than deja vu
Of very clear intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question … 10
Oh, do not ask, “WTF?”
Let us go and con more schmucks.

Awesome.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

In the '60s and '70s, "Frodo Lives" was fairly often seen spraypainted in the general vicinity of "Who is John Galt?"

John Galt, the anti-hobbit. I know who'd I'd rather have a beer with. "It comes in PINTS?"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Does anyone here know Romanian? What do "proba" and "martor" mean? Also, you wouldn't happen to know the Romanian abbreviations for prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time, would you?

Because books.

Isn't there an app for that, P-C?

Kidding.

I need lunch, and out of sheer laziness it's probably going to be hummus, multigrain chips, and a piece of fruit again.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Proba = test or proof. Martor = witness.

Thanks, Polgara! Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to elucidate these lab results. You wouldn't happen to know what IQ and TQ mean in relation to clotting factors, would you?

I shall ask my two Romanian colleagues that sit right next to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's awesome. I was going to offer my Moldovan friend for help, but she's in Cambodia right now, so.

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

This is a very odd mistake: The Washington Post Mistakes Barack Obama For Malcolm X (PICTURE)

We love it when newspapers put the wrong picture with a headline. But this one is just ridiculous. It's the President. You may have seen him before. You know who he's not? Malcolm X. And while it would certainly be newsworthy if the deceased civil rights activist was interested in Iowa's wind energy, our bet is he's got other things on his mind.
