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

And occasionally they fart so hard that shit flies into your hair....

That's distressing inside news. Though it has cinematic potential.

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

Hipster infestations have become commonplace in modern times.

They're kind of like the new Zombies.

There, you have your new literary trend.

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 it has cinematic potential.

For some reason I imagine this would work best in slo-mo 3-D, with Euro-disco music playing....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hipster infestations have become commonplace in modern times.

They're kind of like the new Zombies.

Yet so much more intolerable. (My neighborhood is Cincinnati's hipster epicenter, and it's so annoying. It's PBR and those douchebag hats everywhere.)

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

The glorification of Pabst Blue Ribbon is boggling. Who would've thought that Blue Velvet would be so influential.

That stuff is weasel piss.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

$2 weasel piss.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If it were actually good beer, you couldn't enjoy it ironically.

When I was in high school, we called Old Milwaukee beer "frog piss" because on the can it sorta appears that a frog is pissing in a funnel.

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

My other view is it's more morally objectionable to eat an intelligent animal than a dumb one. From this view, it's worse to eat a dog than a cow, because cows are stupid and annoying animals. Or maybe I just have childhood issues about having to do chores on a dairy farm....

Pigs are smarter than dogs. THIS VIEW ELIMINATES BACON. PLEASE REVISE!!!!11! (I actually think it's vaguely skeevy to eat animals, yet so tasty, I fail at my own moral code. ALAS.)

Also, the order of the following things when catching up? HILARIOUS.

Hipster infestations have become commonplace in modern times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aarrrgh! Monday and Tuesday critical developer was out of the office, so key meeting was delayed two days. Today only-slightly-less-critical two developers are out of the office, so the key meeting can't be today either. And we were supposed to deliver the results Monday.

Me? I feel like crap on toast, but because I kinda always do, I figure no point in actually staying home. But if I'd known, I totally would have. Especially since I got stuck in traffic on the commute in and had to call in for the meeting I'm covering for New Guy (who's also out today).

I so want to go home at lunch.

Did I mention Boss isn't here either?
