Aw, this is what I get for not paying attention to what instance I was posting in.

I knew a guy who drove a taxi for a company in New York back in the 70s and one day he got in a wreck and totaled his cab, and a very large very Italian man came and told him not to worry about it and that everything would be handled and there was no need for paperwork, and that was the end of it.

Nah, that's what the gallon of liquid meth is for.

You may think you love your wife and kids, but you don't love them nearly as much as you're going to love cocaine!

That guy that took a picture of his phone, then took a picture of the camera taking that picture, then took a picture of that camera taking that picture, and so on...

I myself once learned 380 digits of π, when I was a crazy high-school kid. My never-attained ambition was to reach the spot, 762 digits out in the decimal expansion, where it goes "999999", so that I could recite it out loud, come to those six 9s, and then impishly say, "and so on!"

Breaking bread with a fascist is kind of insulting to everyone who has ever been victimized by a previous or current fascist regime.

Now I'll never know what people mean when they say "those cupcakes won't fill a sauna"!

"If you're attracted to a pretty girl with long, straight, brown hair and a strong, self-possessed personality, just walk away, it's almost certainly going to get you killed."

"Ooh... err... about that..."

Get distracted and scratch my nose.

At the end of Elf, Buddy and Jovie have made babby.

Loudly and intrusively hating things that other people like.

If someone likes a terrible show or movie or musician or whatever else... just let them like their thing. It's okay to state your point if you somehow get dragged into a conversation on the merits of a given thing, but making a point of shitting on something that someone likes when they're in no way harming you is just shitty behavior, and it's not going to accomplish anything.

Don't yuck other people's yums.

Are you implying that I'm going to get impregnated by the books?

Because I'm not necessarily saying no to that.

IIRC, there was a study done with cats hearing recordings of random voices saying random words, random voices saying the cats' names, owners' voices saying random words, and owners' voices saying the cats' names, and then carefully measuring the cats' responses.

The findings pretty convincingly showed that cats full well know their own names but choose to ignore the calls.

Look up the real-life Louis Cyr.

He made it 7.8 mooches, so that's not a bad run, by Trumpworld standards.

Boy asks Pope if his atheist father is in heaven.

Humility, patience, kindness, grace, and rationality. Would that we should have more leaders like him in the future.
