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

IT'S A PORTAL SHIRT.

WHAT'S A PORTAL?

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

Something you wear on a shirt.

I thought that was a Macguffin.

Thank you, tommy, for being ZERO HELP.

If I marry myself, do I need to self-divorce when I meet Mr. Right?

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

I thought that was a Macguffin.

EAT A MACGUFFIN, WHITEY!

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

WHAT'S A PORTAL?

PORTAL IS A FABULOUS PUZZLE-SOLVING PLATFORMER THAT HAS SPAWNED MANY INTERNET MEMES BECAUSE OF ITS HILARIOUSLY SARCASTIC ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPANION/VILLAIN AND JONATHAN COULTON-PENNED CLOSING CREDITS SONG.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

While my boss was out to lunch, he saw a motorcycle drive past him and crash into a parked car. There was nobody on the motorcycle.

30 seconds later he saw a guy running after it....

HA! This made me spit hummus. That's fantastic.

I love the line I've heard from the AI in the new version. "We've both done some things you're going to regret."

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

Teachers, how do you guys DO it? I just got ridiculed and called stupid by a room full of eighth graders for fifty minutes. It was really thrilling. I'm sure it is easier when you are actually their teacher and they know you - although right now I'm thinking things would be so much easier if the kids weren't all taller than me.

Always Anti-fascist!

Did anybody else see Pelosi on TV yesterday? I only mention it because the more she talks about fighting, the more Baltimore she got. Mostly, I don't really hear it when she talks, but last night, about halfway though it was like "Hello, Charm City...Mommy's pissed."
