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

(barring diet soda, which I will not be giving up until Hell freezes over)

Matt is me.

Do you guys really like the taste of diet soda? Because I don't know why it has Slurmlike addictive qualities.

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

Because I don't know why it has Slurmlike addictive qualities.

Probably because the sugar is replaced with CRACK.

I really do prefer the taste of aspartame (Diet Coke) to corn syrup (regular Coke). It's tangier and less cloying.

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

I used to love diet soda, but now I'm kind of sick of it. I still have it at restaurants or if I'm making a frozen pizza, but that's about it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

healthy eating in one sentence.

Eat at least 5 servings of vegetable and 4 servings of fruit every day

There wasn't much room for junk when I ate that way

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I don't come close on the fruit but I will agree that when you make sure to actually eat the servings of vegetables you're supposed to, it kind of crowds out a lot of other stuff.

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

You diet soda people are weird. Of course, it started out tasting weird to me, and ended up giving me migraines, so it's just never gonna work out with me and fake azucar.

Soda is basically my one and only vice. I drink way less of it than I used to, but it's still a problem.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Pretty much this.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh my GOD. I'm gonna blow a gasket. I swear I can feel my blood pressure rising just sitting here. I want to choke my boss until her eyes bug out.
