You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy birthday, Owen!

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

Way in Which I Have Been Made to Feel Like a Failure by My Parents #402: I have not been signing up for every free airline miles credit card under the sun to get the 20,000 free miles and then canceling the card later.

I have been under the impression that signing up for credit cards and then canceling them is bad for your credit score. Or signing up for, like, seventeen credit cards. I don't need more credit cards. I am happy with the one I use and the one I keep open just because it's old and I never use it. My dad claims that nothing bad will happen and I should be taking all these free miles because they're free, and I say nothing's for free. I guess he's been doing it for years and been fine, so I don't know.

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

Happy birthday, O!

You know, "Amy, President of Hell" would make a good album title.

Or a nameplate for her desk or office door. Well, for any Amy's desk or office door.

Don't feel a failure because you don't want to spend all your time and energy hustling the frequent flyer miles system, P-C.

Or, make them watch Punch Drunk Love and accuse them of failing to exploit the pudding pack angle.

Also, I'm sorry my phone keeps ass-dialing you. It likes you best.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

At this point, I think they're looking for stuff to grumble about. I mean, really? Airline miles credit cards? They need a better hobby.

It called me twice at two in the morning in the UK. It even left nasty voicemails.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was ass-dialed by you a couple weeks ago! I feel so included.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Note that I'm sure the credit card companies would LOVE to keep the "cancelling is bad for your credit" meme going. Not that it isn't necessarily true, but it certainly benefits them.
