Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Right.

The Mighty Boosh is not the same as The Mighty B!

Though they are both excellent shows, one is live action British comedy that's surreal and trippy and funny and the other is American animation about a girl scout troop and one girl's obsessive quest to get every merit badge.

But they both have cool songs!

The Mighty Boosh gives us The Ape of Death.

Whereas The Mighty B! gives us Running with the Rainbow Unicorn.

Some of them are fine, but a lot of them don't make any sense. This year's list was written by someone who didn't quite get the concept, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As far as I'm concerned, World War II never happened!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's mainly the phrasing of the Beloit list that gets up my nose. "Such-and-such has always been blah blah blah" etc. It's one thing to say "Students in the incoming class do not have first-hand memories of the Cold War," and another entirely to say "To incoming students, the Soviet Union has never existed."

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

As far as I'm concerned, World War II never happened!

Bob and I both had a hearty laugh at this.

It's one thing to say "Students in the incoming class do not have first-hand memories of the Cold War," and another entirely to say "To incoming students, the Soviet Union has never existed."

As we all know, the existence of something is completely dependent on the birth year of the perceiver. It couldn't possibly have existed BEFORE THEY WERE BORN. (wooooo ooo)

Also, when I close my eyes, people disappear!

Also, when I close my eyes, people disappear!

That's just the Rapture.

That's what I started humming immediately. Then I felt old.

and another entirely to say "To incoming students, the Soviet Union has never existed."

It's like saying "The United States has always been a country."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

As far as I'm concerned, World War II never happened!

World War what, now?
