Ann, that's a ferret.

I once had the privilege of hearing a Western Civ TA talk about short answers given by a student who clearly hadn't shown up in class or even read the text.

Did you know that the Gracchi was a sea monster?

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

A few more:

The colonists won because they were better, duh!

My moral code is what I think everyone should go by because I don’t feel that I have done anything wrong.

Even though there is no man in the ad, the gaze is male. The fictional man gets a sense of boyistic pleasure from looking at the woman.

It was at the end of the sixties that the hippies started immolating black people.

Oh dear.

S and M stands for smoke and mirrors and was a common practice in the middle ages, before modern pop singers like Rihanna made it popular.

The stocks and bonds went bad and shit fell in stocks and bonds starting the depression. All these Act and laws really didn’t help. People lost jobs and money. They tried getting shit back on track.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Catching up:

I put "pecan pie" for the recipe. amych

But were you thinking of it as "PEA-can" or "peh-KHAN"?

Barbecue is probably the most argued about food in the country.

That, or chili.

Southern dumplings are more like fat noodles

Very similar to gnocchi and spetzel.

Someone's doing it wrong.

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

I wanted a poppyseed bagel this morning. But the place doesn't sell poppyseed bagels. You can have sesame seed, or everything, she said. Sesame seeds look like poppy seeds.

I almost got into the argument with her, but paused, took stock of the importance of the issue, and just bought breakfast.

Unfortunately the bagel and the cream cheese are tainted with savoury, and I wanted neutral this morning. Wash your utensils, guys, and store stuff separately.

One more:

Possible thesis (goes here).

OK, another one:

Its not really plagiarism as it was exactly what I was going to write anyway.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Did you know that the Gracchi was a sea monster?

Somehow "release the Gracchi" doesn't have the same effect ....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That, or chili.

I would have said chili too.

I've never thought of oyster stuffing as a Southern thing, because whenever I've eaten it it's been in New England, but now I'm wondering if it came to that side of the family via Tennessee.

I'd guess it was a coastal thing, or maybe an East coastal thing.
