Cthulhu looks sad.
When was the last time you invoked Cthulhu? He's lonely. And hungry.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

That's true, nobody ever considers Cthulhu's feelings.

Love the pics of the party, Kat. Your kiddos are so frigging cute! Grace was so Queen of the Ball, too.

Glad to hear about your dad, Barb.
Poor Cthulhu.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I skimmed David so maybe Ginger has answered. But one thing the French did was standardize their design. So every plant is essentially the same design (I presume with minor changes over the years as they learn from experience). So you have in depth knowledge developed over decades of how to build them right, and how to take care of them right. I think the design itself may be different, and Ginger can speak to that better than I can, but just standardizing it makes a huge difference in manufacturing quality and safety and maintenance.

Punishingly Intricate
So my friend has been asked to bring language-oriented to her etymology class this week. Like, jokes that rely on metaphor or euphemism. The assignment is kind of broad. Anybody have any good ones? They can be dirty as long as there is some kind of play on language.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's not exactly a joke, but there's this:
Zoe: You sanguine about the kind of reception we're out to receive on an Alliance ship, captain?
Mal: Absolutely. What's "sanguine" mean?
Zoe: Sanguine: "Hopeful". Plus, point of interest, it also means "bloody".
Mal: Well, that pretty much covers all the options, don't it?
