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

Question asked by Eskimo hunter to priest

I read about an Eskimo hunter who asked the local missionary priest, 'If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?' 'No,' said the priest, 'not if you did not know.' 'Then why,' asked the Eskimo earnestly, 'did you tell me?'

- Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, 1974

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'd totally go to a cuddle party. And I'm not interested in having sex with someone I just met.

Yeah. The occasional "just met" person will inspire me to jump his bones, but there are lots of people I'd hang out with cozily whom I'd never ever jump.

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

Yeesh. Just got pulled in to teach a 2 hour session on something I really don't know all that well and haven't thought about in months. Today. Actually, about 2 hours from now. Fuck.

ION, Google vs. Asscaps:

"Slashdot reported earlier about Google's Chrome notebook and keen-eyed readers would have noticed the lack of a caps lock key. 'According to Google, this will improve the quality of the comments, because people will not be able to write all in capital letters. I'm not a fan of the caps lock key myself. I never use it, so it can go to hell, for all I'm concerned. But taking away choice from people is not good, especially when this is not going to improve the quality of comments.'"

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

The Pooh tattoo came first--the Vader is pretty obviously inflamed.

For some reason I now want a tattoo of Darth Vader and Batman holding hands....
