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

Sure, lemme see!

Oops, it's a kit. How good are you at soldering?

I hope the badness passes quickly, Allyson. Don't let it wash away the Sam goodness.

It's helped me several times when DW requests nonexistent items when I go off to the grocery store.

I'll stop by the store on the way home from work, Hubby will say, "YOu didn't get X," I'll say, "You didn't say we needed X," he'll say, "Yes, I did." It would be very nice to call and say, "I've got A, B, and C. What else do we need?"

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

It's like tight jeans.

Or sexting!

The article likened it to a boom car, with the caveat that no actual woman finds a boom car attractive. The analogy does however have the advantage of maintaining the connection to tools.

we like the cars, the cars that go boom ... there's a whole song. some girls do like them.

Aw man, I'm a lousy feminist. My first thought was "not like it takes much to get those girls to mate with you anyway..."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Allyson, that stuff always stings deep.

This is my favorite part of the article:

He said a group of Jedi knights blocked the door to prevent the thief from escaping, as The Flash looked on.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

May those (totally inaccurate) feelings pass soon, Allyson.
