Hah. The helvetica (and same thing happens if you search for comic sans) joke doesn't work in Opera. Thanks, google.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Has anyone tried searching for "helvetica" on Google recently?
Careful, everytime you do that a typesetter dies.
I'm saying!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
At some point early this morning I woke to a news broadcast with a Barbazon College graduate mocking experts who say that spoiled food is more of a health worry in the US than radioactive contamination from Japan.
It made me wonder if I should test her gullibility by e-mailing a parallel between iodine and mercury (they're both used in thermometers, so they're the same thing, right?) and encouraging her to drink lots of the latter in light of the current iodine tablet shortage.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Dang lisah, are you one of those people who always looks gorgeous in photos? Because I'm begining to suspect you are.
What's up with that? Don't you folks ever blink or squoosh up your mouth in an awkward expression?
she's so hot. I knew exactly who you were talking about.
At least back then, her plan was to use her modelling money to open up her own mechanic shop. I found that charming in a way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just got a hilarious email that a local burrito place is changing its name to Chipdoba, and getting rid of their smaller sizes and non-mexican-type burritos. Now I'm trying to figure out if the "clearance sale" part is true, because I would be psyched to have a half-off buffalo burrito for dinner!

I would happily volunteer for a contest in which she ate spoiled food and I ate the food with radioactive contamination.

Aw thanks! But I'm taking that as a challenge!

Is there a legal way to watch HBO shows online? I'm willing to pay, but I'm not going to sign up for cable again just to watch Game of Thrones before the DVD/iTunes release...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Re: the donkey vs. draft horse, I think the donkey was swearing a blue streak and letting that horse know he'd kick his ass no matter how high he had to jump. If he'd been scared he would've run away. But donkeys ain't afraid a' nothing. And they don't need no steenkin' badges, neither.
Speaking of steenkin' badges, I have been all morning trying to convince my workplace that in fact I do need a new badge, not because I lost mine (which I did, somewhere in the house) but because they changed our employee numbers without telling anyone, just sent out new badges, and I never got the new badge, possibly because I live in a different state, and never even knew about it until I tried to submit an expense report with the old number. For all I know, my new badge has been sitting in the mail room for two years.
