Just the other day, I said to myself, "Where is that large automobile?"
Sheeeit, don't tell me you forgot where you put the Lincoln.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sheeeit, don't tell me you forgot where you put the Lincoln.
Heh. No, it was a rhetorical asking-myself....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ita, the official store now has "We Blow Shit Up" merch, according to Rachel Olshan. I haven't looked. I can't spend any more money.
Did you see the video clip where Kane says there are more fights this season? MOAR FITES. I'm gonna edit three more papers quickly and then go back to watching S2 with drunken commentary. I need a vacation, and this is the closest I'm gonna get.

Because books.

::ears perk up::
Okay, I need those DVDs now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Christ, ZenKitty, you made me go back to the store. Yes, you're right, they do have "We Blow Shit Up" merchandise. But more apropos for me, they have travel mugs. I've needed one for work for forever--and this is a nice obscure reference with no face on it to draw undue attention in the office.
Okay, no more Leverage-related spending.

I have at least 3 more hours of work to try to get done tonight (I was really hoping to put in 2 good hours), but mac will not go to bed or leave the room. He is at least letting me work and only occasionally interrupting. grrrrrr.

I would assume pigtails are braided, based on kids books like Pippi Longstocking. But I would use the term for more modern, unbraided hair also.
ETA: Wikipedia agrees. Apparently the twist of the braid is where the term comes from.
The term pigtail appears in English in the American colonies in the 1600s to describe a twist of chewing tobacco. One of the steps in processing the tobacco was to twist a handful of leaves together to form a compact bunch that would then be cured (dried, either with or without smoking). The term "pigtail" was applied to the bunch based on its resemblance to a twisted pig's tail.
From the later 1600s through the 1800s, the term came to be applied to any braided (plaited, in British parlance) hairstyle. The British army also adopted a single pigtail or "queue" as its standard dress for long hair.
Most dictionaries still define "pigtail" as a single tight braid. However, many American English speakers use the term to describe two symmetrical bunches of hair on either side of the head, braided or not.

I'm so tired, I automatically assumed you meant Hugh Laurie.
