I wonder why there's that comparatively better off swatch in the Intermountain West. Farmers?
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

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
Unemployment in MA apparently went down last month, but I always wonder if that's because of people leaving the work force, not getting jobs.
I think running out of unemployment benefits can also knock you out of the statistic.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It always makes me sad when TJs stops carrying an item I love. I'm still sad about the vanilla paste, but at least I can get that from Surfas. But TJs had it for so cheap.
My current TJ frustration is the crispy seaweed that they had like ONCE before they stopped carrying it. Grrr.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I weep when TJs stops carrying something I love. But they do respond to feedback on when items are good, bad or totally freaking awesome.

Ah! When you do, can I ask you then?
Um, sure? I don't know when I'll watch them. Yuletide is quite the distraction.

Now we're getting into song title territory. How about: If I Were Sufjan Stevens' Evil Twin, I Would Still Have the Longest Song Titles in History, But They Would Include More Die Die Hipsters Die in That Alley in Uptown Chicago Where History Hasn't Been Made Since the Jazz Age And Thus Your Fedora Is Ironic, or, 'Oh Look, Turtles!'
