No, no. That won't do. And your response better have been "That's what she said!"
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Are they going to give Bob Costas and whoever their own channel after the Olympics are done so they can talk about trivia and inspirational overcoming-adversity stories of American athletes 24/7 while the actual sports play unnoticed on a background screen behind them?

You know what? I'm going to go home and pop the Berlin IAAF games DVD into the player. My father actually gave me a Christmas present. First time he actually bought me something himself in over 20 years. Usain Bolt footage. Cutest thing ever. It will help get me over these doldrums.

Er, what? This is like suing a Chinese restaurant for not serving spaghetti bolognese. I call insane troll logic.

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

Orly Taitz, Birther Queen, Makes Appeal To United Nations For Protection, Investigation
I try not to write about every development in the career of Orly Taitz, but I have to make an exception for her appeal to the United Nations for "urgent action under the mandate for human rights defenders." Her attorney, Jonathan Levy, writes that Taitz is under "increasing legal attack in the United States from groups and individuals opposed to her legal actions challenging the Constitutional qualifications of Barrack Hussein Obama to hold the office of President of the United States."
