Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I just got F&C for lunch.

Where did you get it, Tom?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A strange shop on Fulton street with a Chinese proprietor. I got the "whiting" fish, and a weird substance the man said was vinegar. But since it was a few hundred yards from the fish market, at least it was fresh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait a second, people try to put non-malt vinegar on fries/chips?? EW.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I had fish and chips for lunch. It's all your fault.

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

Whiting is my FAAAAAAVORITE fish.

But I think it would be too thin.

I seem to recall that British fish and chip shops were specifically forbidden from using newspapers as wrapping, for hygiene reasons, as long ago as the eighties.

I remember that because, when Princess Diana was engaged to Prince Charles, the media wrote about her that her favourite food was "fish and chips from a proper fish and chip shop wrapped in newspaper" -- thereby giving the impression that either:

  1. The whole thing was complete bullshit, or more disturbingly
  2. The Princess was so sheltered from the real world she was getting fake fish and chips, rewrapped in specially-sanitised newspaper

But John, how do you know it wasn't her saying "My favorite food is fish and chips wrapped in a newspaper, and damn them for not making it anymore!"?

Oh, I don't think so, it was just one of those things which was meant for us to think "oh, she's just a girl-next-door really, god bless her, she even eats fish and chips just the way we eat it" which fell horribly flat.

Are you ready to be strong?

We had one of those when George W. Bush went to a grocery store and then freaked out over the scanner machine thing. He acted like it was a space ship or something.

You mean George H.W. Bush, right, Rio?
