"6 - (verb) the time of night when you have to head to bed or home due to being very tried, or having something to do very early in the morning, Orgins- Cinderella" -- I have no idea where I picked this up, but I'm glad it's on UD so I know I didn't just make it up. - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

Solidarity is difficult to maintain. - John (bird whisperer)

Lesson learned from the last attempt at Revolution, I guess. - Victor Ganata

"Two legs bad"? - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

Two legs better! - John (bird whisperer)

"This keeps happening. Paul said he’s given considerable thought to the philosophic nature of “rights,” though his opinions on the subject are largely gibberish. The senator says he cares deeply about minority rights, which he’s struggled to grasp. Paul talks about drone policy, which he’s flubbed badly. Paul claims to hate the Affordable Care Act, but he fails to appreciate what the policy is and what it does. He says he’s deeply concerned about the deficit, but doesn’t know what the deficit is." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"Again, these aren’t just random issues; these are the issue Rand Paul himself claims to care the most about. When a politician seems confused about his signature concerns, that’s not a good sign." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"“I don’t think I’ve ever used the word gay rights, because I don’t really believe in rights based on your behavior,” the Kentucky Republican told reporters in a videotaped interview that has received little attention since it was recorded in 2013." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"The Kentucky Republican may not have thought this one through. By Rand Paul’s reasoning, gun rights don’t exist because buying, carrying, and/or firing a weapon is a “behavior.” By Rand Paul’s reasoning, religious rights don’t exist because embracing a faith tradition, practicing its tenets, and attending services is a “behavior.” By Rand Paul’s reasoning, free-speech rights don’t exist because expressing one’s opinions and speaking one’s mind is a “behavior.” By Rand Paul’s reasoning, voting rights don’t exist because participating in an election and exercising the franchise is a “behavior.”" - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"INT. DAY. THE BUCKETS’ family home. CHARLIE and GRANDPA JOE have just left for their factory tour. MRS BUCKET puts down her laundry stick and gazes over the four-poster bed. MRS BUCKET [tiredly]: How many of the rest of you can walk?" - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"MRS BUCKET: You said you broke your ankle. GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: I’m not a doctor. I only knew that if I stayed in bed, the odds of my ever coming down with a broken ankle would substantially diminish. So I made the choice that made sense for me." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

i did that regularly while an analyst during the waning years of the dotcom boom. overrated. - Big Joe Silenced

It's better to want to be governor of California, end up being governor of Rhode Island instead, rather than ending up being the mayor of Irvington, NJ. - April Russo (FForever!)

"I stand before you today not just a convert, but an evangelist. The Fast & Furious movies stand as one of the best film franchises America has going for it right now — and maybe even a gloriously dumb representation of everything good about America." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"The franchise always prominently features cars, and the solution to every problem is always "more cars," but these aren't "car movies" anymore. It's a neat trick." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

“That explains why Romney was so full of Clinton-esque charm and brilliance during the debates.” - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

Please proceed, Mr. President-Emeritus. - John (bird whisperer)

"The bright red bottle looks a bit more palatable than Rogue's Pepto-pink Voodoo Doughnut Ales. But we're still not sure we want to drink the brewery's new Sriracha Hot Stout. It's stout (think Guinness) — with a dose of spicy-tangy Sriracha. Blerg." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

"I have heard of humble-bragging, but this is an entirely new tactic -- failure-bragging. At Hewlett-Packard, she nearly ran the company into Middle Earth, bragged about outsourcing jobs when she did it, and was generally so incompetent a manager that the company paid her millions of dollars to never darken its towels again." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

Nah, still healthy. Chock full of tomatillos and deliciousness. - Jennifer Dittrich

there's been a few instances, but it's a surprisingly rare thing on those shows. - Big Joe Silenced

"N.B. I am perfectly aware that “Modern Love” articles are carefully calibrated to create outrage in people such as myself. Personally, I think I do an admirable job ignoring them, as a general rule. I am, however, MERELY A HUMAN WOMAN, and you can only ask so much restraint of me." - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

(The comments are pretty extra good on this one.) - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

OMG, you're so right -- the comments have my sides aching. - Stephen Mack

If they can have one for potato salad... - Spidra Webster

The Hanging Chad 2000™ - Micah

Depending on the allergy, it might not be trivial. - John (bird whisperer)

Shouts to me for surviving today despite hay fever. I truly have got the right stuff. - Andrew C (see frenf.it)

Hmm, good question. How about board games, like the pawn pieces in Monopoly? - Stephen Mack

Well, Flash memory isn't as stable as writing to the hard disk... - Spidra Webster
