Someone asked me if 7 Deadly Sins was good, and I told them “It’s lots of fun, but if you’ve got some negative preconceived notions about anime, it’s not going to subvert any of them.”

“What does this 400-room hotel need to employ a full-time plumber for? The pipes are all fine, and no one ever complains about a clogged toilet. Fire that lazy bum!”

Take this over to Church of Thighentology.

Little bit of bedbug in there, too.

Six fish enter! One fish leaves!

Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.

This, but it’s the most basic chemistry of life itself:

Perhaps it was a plaster cast replica of the real fossil itself.

That whole aesthetic is cassette futurism, as distinct from the glass touchscreens of Star Trek TNG.

I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, her scenery and invigorating climate, but most of all, because of her indomitable people. They are a race of pioneers who almost beggared themselves to serve others.

“No, that wasn’t a metaphor! The Bible is literal truth!”

“What about ‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me,’ or ‘But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,’ or ‘Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.’?”

“Those parts were metaphorical!”

A lot of aerodynamic designs seem to look a lot like the world’s fastest birds.

Compromise and call it a broth.

Psychology furiously staring from the corner but afraid to speak lest it be made to sit at the folding table with Astrology and Tarot readings.

Let this empire burn and 50+ flags fly freely

If the votes had been even a fraction of a percent in either direction, the Supreme Court wouldn’t have had a role to play.
