To me, boobs are like spaceships (no, not ‘cos I never get to touch either of them); it’s like, you see a picture of the space shuttle and you go ‘wow, that’s awesome, a real life spaceship!’ And then you see a picture of an Imperial Star Destroyer, and you go ‘WOW. I totally know that’s not real, but that is really awesome. And so BIG. Unrealistically so, but still …’ You don’t go ‘hrmph, I don’t like fake spaceships.’"

Reasons I Woke Up Today

1) "However, by the early 1970s, exclamation points were mostly used because comic writers wanted them, not because they had to. It was useful in making comics seem dynamic. If everyone is shouting, then some pretty cool stuff must be going on, right (see the TV series 24 for the same basic concept)?"

2) Businesses that don't lay off

3) "The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the Bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.. corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed."
