This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Now I really want a Cannoli Man. Alas, it isn't an option.

If I were king of the world, there would be a door-to-door cannoli man.

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

Cannoli men on every corner! (Next to the taco trucks)

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

And the mini chocolate chips he dips the ends in? Good stuff. Not those waxy little bastids, the kind that melt if you pick one up too slowly. I almost wish I'd tried one end sprinkles... are the sprinkles, too, amazing?

That does it, if I ever get married we're budgeting for a mini-cannoli man for the reception. And the cocktail hour. And possibly the service. And sprinkles will have to be good because I'll be all in white what with being so pure and all. Suppose chopped nuts could work for that too.

So, basically, I left the shot and took the cannoli.

Nice one!

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

I have a series of things I don't want to do so I'm ordering them from least to most undesirable and avoiding the hardest thing by doing the less onerous thing first.

Does that make sense? Like when you do vacuuming when you have to write an email you don't want to deal with.

Anyway:

1. Dishes 2. Mortgage/refinancing 3. Clean the Guinea Pig Cage

I feel like if we asked Mamdani nicely he might do it.
