Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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

IT'S A PORTAL SHIRT.

WHAT'S A PORTAL?

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

Something you wear on a shirt.

Thank you, tommy, for being ZERO HELP.

If I marry myself, do I need to self-divorce when I meet Mr. Right?

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

EAT A MACGUFFIN, WHITEY!

PORTAL IS A FABULOUS PUZZLE-SOLVING PLATFORMER THAT HAS SPAWNED MANY INTERNET MEMES BECAUSE OF ITS HILARIOUSLY SARCASTIC ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPANION/VILLAIN AND JONATHAN COULTON-PENNED CLOSING CREDITS SONG.

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?

While my boss was out to lunch, he saw a motorcycle drive past him and crash into a parked car. There was nobody on the motorcycle.

30 seconds later he saw a guy running after it....

HA! This made me spit hummus. That's fantastic.

I love the line I've heard from the AI in the new version. "We've both done some things you're going to regret."
