And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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

I was an emo 14 year old when Elfquest went mainstream. It was inevitable. I wish I still drew. I miss it. I should take an art class to get back into it. I loved EQ--a lot! I think Wendy Pini was an entre into comics for a lot of girls. I think it's hilarious I did fan art before I knew what fan art was.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Okay, that must be the same interview I'm thinking of because I could swear someone was just mentioning reports of Denzel being a dick recently.

Oh my God, those are pretty hilarious.

Do not use "Whoomp! There it is!" unless it actually is there.

When there's no more room in Hell, omit the final paragraphs to save space.

The correct spelling is “Rocktober,” not “Roctober,” which is the month of giant birds.

I love this. I may insist my new writers follow the Fake AP Stylebook.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Supposably. Supposably. Did they go to the zoo? Supposably.
