"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
When I think of the damage the Bush administration did, I always remember Sarah Vowell on the Daily Show saying, "When Bush got elected I cried because I was afraid he'd ruin the nation's water supply. So...kind of a failure of imagination there."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
but the crying gets either less filming or fewer pageviews?
Crying isn't usually as funny to third parties. Unless it's babies eating lemons.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I remember progressive lefties saying the same shit about Bush getting into office. "And that will galvanize the left and la la Utopia."
Yeah. Or, you know, "Vote for Republicans, because they'll screw up the country so bad it will make the socialist revolution occur much sooner."
Methinks there's a flaw or two in that plan.

Yeah, that was a funny and very sad statement....

Those are some excellent WTF double-takes. Those babies look so betrayed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Babies eating lemons is comedy gold. I love babies eating lemons again, and being traumatised again. It's a synopsis of the human condition.
I think my skirt is too short.
Ah, well.
I once sent a clip of a baby laughing to a friend and he went postal and told me he'd never talk to me again if I sent him anything else with babies in it because he hated them. It was kinda...kinda scary. I get not loving them, but hating them seems a lot of work.
We're out of ice. I'm sad.
What would you rather be doing right now than what you're doing right now? I'd initially thought the answer was "drawing" but it turns out to be "not having a headache" on not much further introspection.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just sent that to my friend who sent me the mini-crossbows link with the comment that we should start a mini-army.
