Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.

I may have to seize the cat.

Mmmph. I just want an Armodillo Grill steak soft taco. Or two.

And I would like an Armadillo Grill bean and cheese burrito or two.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Quality Burrito in Olympia offers baked unbreaded fresh cod tacos with Chipolte sauce. Those of you who like fish, but don't like fish tacos might like that.

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

M: Shemar (I keep reading about how good he is to his mother, and it's just darling), C: Denzel (I think the most of him as an actor, but someone's gotta go), F: Goran.

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

Denzel can be a dick, at least sometimes.

Courage Under Fire (1996)—“Bruno”

BP: That was a low point, because Denzel Washington was behind the incredibly cowardly bullshit of “This is my character, not me.” He was really abusive to me and everybody on that movie, and his official explanation was that his character didn’t like me, but it was a dreadful experience. I spent my salary on time with my shrink just for helping me get through it

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

Cash, I had no idea that you (a) drew (b) liked Elfquest (c) did Elfquest fan art.

Were the Endearment-o-meter results accompanied by that "you lose!" tune that plays on the Price is Right when the contestant loses?

Exactly. Followed by the trombonist going: "Mwaahh mwaaaaah mwaaaaaaaaaah."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

If I want good Tex-Mex I walk up the street to Blue Goose. If I want good Mexican I walk over to La Acapuiquena. If I want a good cheap taco, I walk down to The Dallas Tortilla factory. If I want good tamales, I wait at a bar up the street for the guy to come by with the cooler.

Ooooh. The Fake AP Stylebook is on Twitter: [link]

There is no such thing as an "Oxford comma." The other guys in the newsroom are pranking you.

The noun "Wang Chung" should be capitalized, but not the verb.

If you're short on space, "fake" may be used in place of "psychic" or "homeopathic."

If your story reveals the perpetrator of a crime, it is polite to put a spoiler warning at the top.

Replace "situation deteriorated/worsened" with "shit [just] got real." Ex: On day three of the hostage crisis, shit got real.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Denzel can be a dick, at least sometimes.

Oh, I was trying to remember where I had just read that! That was a great interview.
