But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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

which then became radioactive table legs and other steel items.

Wacky and horrifying! Worthy of the Simpsons, or possibly the Oblongs.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think the whole world would be able to live in peace and harmony if only there were more nacho fountains.

Trufax: melted cheese equals world peace.

Although I know that a nacho fountain means the delicious melted cheese product is what comes out of the fountain, what the phrase "nacho fountain" *actually* makes me envision is a contraption that shoots tortilla chips out of the top, where they cascade down to earth, occasionally poking out the eye of someone who stood too close.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There was a local news story this morning about finding radiation from Japan in some water, but not enough to matter, and not in the drinking water reservoirs. OK, great. Why is that worthy of comment??

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

I can't envision a nacho fountain, and I find I don't want to.

I still can't think of anything other than pictures right now. It's almost creeping me out.

Oh, Steph, did you see that the guy who gay-bashed my friend in Covington got convicted last week?

No! Right on! That is excellent.

Indeed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ginger--Just shows that people are happy to think France is arrogant and selfish as a nation without needing any actual proof.

Freedom fries!

There was a local news story this morning about finding radiation from Japan in some water, but not enough to matter, and not in the drinking water reservoirs.

I heard the same thing here, with a promo saying "Concern rises as radiation spreads farther than expected." Detectable isotopes are expected to spread over most of the world. Tiny, tiny amounts, but detectable. It's like Jayne's "Ten percent of nothing is — let me do the math here. Nothing into nothin'. Carry the nothin'..."
