Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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

Vortex is the champion! She is the champion!

Vortex is the Boss with the Hot Sauce!

But the two episodes of Lucky Louis I saw were easily laugh out loud,

Emmett and I were listening to a bit from his 2010 standup special, Hilarious and it had us doubled over. The bit gives us the title where he complains bitterly about how people abuse language and have debased "amazing" and "hilarious." "You wasted 'amazing' on a basket of chicken wings. What will you do if something really amazing happens like Jesus comes down from heaven and makes love to you?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Congrats, Vortex!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Congratulations Vortex!

Good job recognizing talent, Vortex's employers!

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

Brava, Vortex!!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yay, Vortex!

I'm working for a non-profit, which means that salaries aren't all that, but the bennies are good. When my parents were dying I saved up my vacation days in case I needed extended time off to care for them, and never really got back into the habit of mental health days. Too much unused leave gets turned into sick leave at the end of the year. And I'm lucky enough to be relatively healthy, so I haven't used much sick leave. So now I have about three months of sick leave and four weeks of vacation available. I hope I'm never unwell enough to need the former, but if I am it'll be good to have.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Vortex!

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

But the two episodes of Lucky Louis I saw were easily laugh out loud

Really? I tried to watch it back when it aired and found it not amusing at all, nigh on unwatchable. But I love his current FX show.

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

Congrats, Vortex!!

Congratulations, Vortex!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Congratulations, Vortex!

We need to figure out a way to do the wave in here.
