Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I also have HUGE calves, Jesse. A lifetime of toe walking has given me dancers calves.

Crap, maybe I will just buy those. I mean, not "crap."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

If I didn't look so much like my sisters, I'd SWEAR I was adopted.

I have a sister like that. My only answer is alien abduction messing with one of us.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Once we hear that Obama bit someone's sister once, we'll have entered a golden age. Or some wacky alternate reality without shrimp.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Anything's possible. I'm watching a show on the Science channel about super string theory and alternate dimension. It's making my brain hurt.

I need to go back and read Mimsy Were the Borogoves.

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

If I move to the universe without shrimp, will I remember shrimp, eternally longing for something that doesn't exist?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yes, the Peruvian gang of fat-harvesting murderers was a hoax.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just measured my calf for my own amusement--it's 16 3/4" around.

I don't know why your memories of shrimp wouldn't survive, -t.

Then I would rather not go. To remember shrimp and never have the possibility of eating one again, not oiled, not sizzling, not dipped in delicious coconut batter, it would be a torment.

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

No, there are no memories of shrimp in a proper world without shrimp. In a world without the very concept of shrimp, you can't remember it. Otherwise it's just a world where there isn't shrimp anymore.

bon, that's a weird thing for a cop to make up. That's not where I would have guessed the source of the story. Seems very high risk and really easy to get busted. Journalist, I'd have thought, or even criminals.

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

You could have a myth of shrimp in a world without shimp.

People would think -t was like one of those alien abductees.
