I'm editing an article about a weight-loss drug*, and now I just really want a cheeseburger. I am so impressionable.
*(Seriously, all of the studies in this article were funded by the manufacturers of the drug. HOW IS THAT NOT SKETCHY?!?)
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

A coworker brought in a big box of slightly-stale cookies, all different times, and when I asked him where they were from, he claimed he baked them all himself.
Maybe it was a very early holiday cookie exchange? Or frozen dough.
Happy birthday, Hil!
I am at a new dentist. So far not impressed by the office staff, though it doesn't help that I ha to walk all the way around the block because I missed the building entrance!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oooh, check out Paula Broadwell's high school prom picture. She's totally got the Liz Lemon High School perm.
Whatever, she looks good for 1991! (I graduated high school in 1991.)
I don't understand you guys.
Americans don't need James Bond. We have.... Reagan? That doesn't seem right.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Lord, that's just about the most depressing sentence I've ever read. Go watch some James Bond!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Whatever, she looks good for 1991!
I like that look! It's very Molly Ringwald.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Seriously, all of the studies in this article were funded by the manufacturers of the drug. HOW IS THAT NOT SKETCHY?!?
Ah but the real question is how many studies were not published because they had contrary results?
Actually I have wondered on occasion who funds the drug studies that aren't funded by the manufacturer. The FDA?

HOW IS THAT NOT SKETCHY?
it's totally sketchy. Steph, have you heard about that new book that just came out, exposing all the sketchy research in the pharmaceutical industry?
I have the writer on my twitter feed, he's Ben Goldacre, and it's called Bad Pharma. [link]

Mostly universities, I think.

Oo, that looks like something I should get. Thanks, Suela.
