I never was any good at haggling.

The key to haggling is being willing to walk away from the interaction. Rather difficult when it's all taking place in your head.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My dad has said the same about seeing a hot dog factory. I told him NEVER to tell me.
One of my Dad's best friends, who is in his mid-60s now, worked at a Kraft marshmallow factory when he was 19.
To this day he will not eat anything Kraft makes, or anything with marshmallows in it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A very interesting New Yorker article on procrastination:

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
News o' the day: Robots Now Guarding Nevada Nuke Site
Citizens of Nevada, you can now relax. The Nevada National Security Site, home to tens of millions of cubic feet of low-level radioactive waste — and location of over a thousand Cold War nuclear weapons tests — is now being guarded by robots. The first of a planned trio of Mobile Detection Assessment Response Systems (MDARS) is currently patrolling some of the more remote sections of the 1,360 square mile facility.

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
re: chicken nuggets
It's the rampant bacteria and subsequent amonia that gross me all to hell. The squish and grindage of everything but the cock-a-doodle-doo has me "eh". If you're going to eat critters you might as well eat all of them.
