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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooh - good idea!
Plus, chocolate!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
We'll invade Sweden, but then we'll change our minds and invade Norway for its petroleum.

Nah, too socialist. Instead, we'll impose the "best health care system in the world" on them (I can't remember which genius came out with that one).
I'm guessing that was pre-health-care-reform, though.

It occurs to me that Tim Robbins may not have gone far enough with Bob Roberts. We're way past that now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I haven't seen the latter, so I vote the former.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Sweden has pretty decent chocolate, too.
Hec, quit making me homesick.
I was all geared up to go to the NREC mtg tonight and help with the bike infrastructure & community garden items but I blew it. The mtg was actually LAST Tuesday. Unfortunately, I had started tweeting to try to get people to attend so now I look like a royal ass. Well, I guess the fact that people don't really listen to me makes it easier - it's unlikely anyone actually read the tweet and started planning on attending. Still. Embarrassing.
