It's for women's rights, but really, that's just a bonus.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh, thank God, Burrell. It's at least comforting to know that it's not just my kid, that "dreamy little sociopath" is completely developmentally normal.
I may be over psychoanalyzing it, but I think it's just a literalization of the mirror stage. As in, the first ego-imago of the child is the parent, so their sense of themselves comes from seeing themselves through us. In this case actually seeing themselves reflected in the eyes of someone who loves them.
And--ahem--I must admit my tendency to psychoanalyze stops short of buying into penis envy. Cute origin myth on Freud's part, but hopelessly fixed in a particular cultural moment.

I'm guessing hubba hubba's not an appropriate response, is it?
Oh well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The yarn box is here, the yarn box is here! I know what I'll be doing most of today.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I very much envy the ability to go relatively discreetly when trapped in a traffic jam. Also, I've worked at several companies where a penis was required for promotion, even though in some cases the person in question only thought with his penis.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Crap, I should have had Onerous Task Day today, but I just couldn't. Maybe tomorrow?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Crap, I should have had Onerous Task Day today, but I just couldn't. Maybe tomorrow?
Let's assign it! It's random enough.
Next Onerous Task Day: Tuesday, March 8th.
