When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion, O’Donnell asked: “You’re telling me that’s in the First Amendment?”
Oh, as usual, dear.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I sometimes think that there should be some sort of test that qualifies people to run for office - you know, just to make sure they actually know something about the job for which they are running - but then I LOL so hard at the really clueless ones that I change my mind.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It came back for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As one of the commenters note: If every kiss begins with Kay, this is the natural progression. Language is dirty within, pictures safe. Technically.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Jessica, I am not discounting that study, but I will say it's just one study. In the course of my teaching I've at least skimmed 20 or 30 articles on caffeine, maybe more, and the preponderance of the evidence is that it improves performance. Not as much as some Rx drugs do, it's true, but coffee has the advantage of being widely available OTC.

Lifehacker on ditching cable for the web.
Hmph. Still doesn't explain how I'm going to get HD-cable picture quality off the internet.
(Also, my cable provider is also my ISP. So even if I drop my cable TV, the only way I could drop Cablevision is by moving to a neighborhood with FiOS.)

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?
I love coffee and have a travel mug (=2 cups) of it every morning. Yum. I don't know if it does anything for alterness, but the taste makes me happy and the smell perks me up.

I am also hating your doctor, ita. I did the same thing with trazadone a month ago, and I HATED it. I got little to no sleep on it, the sleep I got was rotten, and I staggered around like a drunk the next day, was off balance, felt stupid. And it wasn't the shitty sleep; it was the drug. I know me some sleep-dep feeling. It was horrid.
And any sleep doc should know that there's no way to stock up on sleep.
I drink one cup of cappucino when I wake up. I used to drink tons of coffee, but I've been a one cupper for about 5 years now -- maybe another cup on really tired days, but abso never after noon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Still doesn't explain how I'm going to get HD-cable picture quality off the internet.
You can get some iTunes TV shows and movies in HD.
