The crowds here for the ticker-tape parade are INSANE: [link] [link] [link] [link]
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sick of high electricity bills? Well, you know that the phone company is sending a bit of energy through their lines to power phones, right? Why not use that to your own sneaky advantage?
This LED lamp plugs in not to an electrical outlet, but to a phone jack. It then uses that power to light up, giving you a light you can feel guilt-free about leaving on all day. Your phone company might not love it, but whatever. They're the phone company.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is it a parade for the Yankees? If so, aren't New Yorkers used to them winning the Series by now? I would think it would be so old hat that a parade would be silly.
(Most of that comment was sarcasm, but not all.)
However, as a resident of a city where we don't do parades like that (no, not even when the Reds swept back in 1990), I have to admit that your pictures are really charming to me. It just seems like a cool thing to do (a ticker-tape parade), in a general sense.

You know, I just too much pleasure in sending an email that basically said "No, you can't pat yourself on the back for all the work I've done, because, by the way, the reason it won't get finished is because you never did what you were supposed to!"
I may have issues with this team.

Yes, it's for the Yankees; they do it every time there's a championship; yes, it's silly.
I'm mostly pissed because I can't get to my 12:15 therapy appointment.

hip deep in pie
We are having the dreaded "wintry mix," as you Americans like to call it. I have been at work for 3.5 hours and my pants are still wet. Fortunately, there is a puppy here, and pizza is on the way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In theory, ticker-tape parades are awesome. However, I would have gladly skipped this one if it meant fewer douchebags in Yankees shirts on my morning commute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My boss is totally at that parade. She said she'd be out of the office for a half-hour. Yeah, I doubt it.
