That's the one I've heard used on British cop shows.
They should call it the Esprit D'Escalier warning.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
my question stands--what the defendant says may be used against him. Why say "will," then?
That's similar to the personnel lifts with the warning stickers that say, "Failure to read and understand all instructions WILL result in death or injury."
It's just baby thunder.
For a sec I thought you were talking about Salma Hayek, still.
Shrift, I usually break for dinner around 5. If I get a day that allows an early lunch break I'll give you a call but I'm afraid you'd be starved by the time I usually get lunch.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Salma Hayek indeed looks gorgeous, but did that really need to be said? Hasn't she always been gorgeous?
Is anyone else a bit worried that ita is suddenly parsing the Miranda rights? What's up? Are you worried about what to do when the police come to your door?

Where is all this thunder btw? I haven't heard it yet. I feel deprived.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The caution states that you do not have to say anything unless you wish to do so, and that what you say may be given in evidence at court.
The caution then goes on to warn you that it may harm your defence if you fail to mention anything at the police station which you later rely on in court.
Huh. That's a little...I don't know. It makes me uneasy because it seems like a fine line you're asking people to tread there, given that the whole point of the warning is the assumption that people aren't exactly clear on what their rights in the situation are.

The status is NOT quo.
Burrell, I've heard the thunder up here in Pasadena. Nothing down there?
Love the cut, shrift! Hawt and sassy!
Also, I blame all of you for the fact that I am about to go on a Quest for Pie at the local Cocos.

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

Me, too.

Not that I've heard, Kristin, but there's a fair bit of real estate between us.

But not that much between us. I know it was thunder. I will not accept rumbly trucks or the like. I can't be that out of touch.
Are you worried about what to do when the police come to your door?
A girl should be prepared.
My face has changed. I swear. And I don't like it. It's broken. My eyes are all sunken.

Thanks, all! I like my sassy hair. I'm looking forward to seeing what it'll do after I wash out the straightener my stylist put in.

Dinner around 5 is great! And crap, I can't go tomorrow, because I have to be home for a delivery. I'm good for dinner this Friday, and next week Wed through Fri.
