I'm trying to work out how you solve that with your iPhone. Except then it would be an iPhone in the hands of someone not potty trained yet. But maybe it could have a peripheral.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Kat, what a PITA. I remember Franny had a hard time with that too. She was fine with the potty during the days EXCEPT when she was in the car. She'd relax and then BOOM. And bed wetting at night. We kept her in pull ups for a long time and also walked her to the bath room in the middle of the night. The one thing I'll say is, it DOES end eventually. It's a pain, that's for sure, but it ends.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm currently watching Life on Earth. It's fascinating in and of itself, of course; but also because it's now over thirty years old, and it's interesting to see where our understanding has advanced since then. Most are relatively minor (for instance, they still have Hallucigenia, a fossil from the Burgess Shale, upside down, and the Indonesian coelocanth population was still unknown); but now we're in the episode on reptiles, and his discussion of the extinction of the dinosaurs simply rejects the possibility of a catastrophic event in favour of gradual climate change.
It was about a year or two after the series was produced that Professor Alvarez put forward his evidence of a massive asteroid impact right at the K-T boundary, and longer before the Chicxulub crater at the Yucatan peninsula was fingered as the point of impact. It's very interesting, taking a trip back to the scientific arguments before those discoveries.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't want to be an adult today.
Do I have to?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
What wonderful doggies! That made me cry, but the loyalty of dogs is a known crypoint for me. I cry just thinking about Jurassic Bark, for example.
Perkins, I vote no. I think you should go outside and play hopscotch!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This sentence from a Tribune article on our snowstorm amused me for some reason:
The snow also is likely to be what the weather service described as "fluffy."
(They mention that because the fluffy is more likely to drift.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Fluffy is usually a good adjective, too.
I'm fascinated that there are so many technological aids for potty training these days. (In my day, we just held it, going uphill both ways...)

I'm not sure I want to go outside today either. I think all my spoons may still be asleep.

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

They had a set of James Burke's Connections at Amoeba the other day and I was wondering how they'd hold up. They were always so fun to watch as he wove together all the technological innovations that went into something like motion pictures.
