Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think of raccoons as more dog sized.

A friend of mine had a bear come into her house and try to rummage through the fridge. Turns out it smelled the cantalope from outside and wanted to have a bite. Friend was fine, terrified I'm sure, but fine. She never left her bedroom, and the bear never left the kitchen. Well, it left when the rangers came and got it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Back in 1995, I was sharing an apartment which had an outdoor entry (stairwell open to the air although recessed to prevent being rained on). One night after work, I came home after dark to find a raccoon sitting right in front of my apartment door. I know that they're notorious for being susceptible to rabies, so I didn't want to go anywhere near it, and I thought that if I tried walking up the stairs, it would try and bolt past me to the ground instead of going upstairs.

I tried to wait it out, but it just stayed there. I ended up driving to a payphone (this was before anyone I knew had a cell phone) and calling my already-sleeping roommate to get her to make noise behind the door to scare the critter away. It was gone by the time I got back home, at least.

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

Ow. How do I get a blister between my toes when there was nothing there but my toes?!

Sock Dreams has the answer! my little toes turn under their neighbor toes and get squashed. I love these little silk toe socks. They keep my toes from rubbing together and blistering.

Raccoons are like cats with hands, cats with hands that work in teams.

I find this kinda awesome. And a nuisance, but that's to be expected from cats with hands.

What if there's driving involved in going to Yellowstone?

Still safer than taking a bath.

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

Do they have baths at Yellowstone?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad I avoid nature, driving, AND baths.

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

When my Mom was 7+ months pregnant with me she and my Dad went camping for the weekend (damn hippies) and despite tying the food up in a tree, etc. they woke up with a Ursine visitor on site.

Scared her so badly that 6 weeks later I was born with bare feet.

A bath in the wrong spring at Yellowstone will definitely kill you.

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

Well, it's a terrible color on her, for one thing.....

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And the "my eyes are up here" loses some validity.
