Here's Why

Buffalo inspires great lines

We're in Vancouver now, resting up from a fun social time in Buffalo and Toronto. So from my notes, here are some great lines I saw, heard or crafted myself while in Buffalo: "Free Money Godlike Power Instant Gratification!" (alas it was only advertising an Xbox Cheat Guide) "That would be Just Plain Hookery!" In discussion with Jeff at Fudruckers, was the topic of sex-only relationships. The question arose of whether you would have dinner with your sex-buddy afterwards. This phrase has since been extended to any and every analogous situation. Its not the size of the sacrifice that matters; its what you do with it! Work That Monkey! I won't go there, but when you do, you can bring me back souvenirs. Only You Can Prevent Cerebrocryotosis! "Its not lying; its a Gift For Fiction" (from Brain Donors) We Suck At Mornings "Tool Chix" "You Too, Can Prevent Thud!" 'You think I run around saving things like a woman?" "Life in Buffalo is never dull, at least you didn't win a fruitcake" "HOME-RUN!!!!!!!!" That's like walking around trying to assemble furniture without tools Blog This ... And finally we saw Senator Karen Mosen Brown interviewed on the Daily Show by Jon Stewart, where she came out of the closet on her science fiction fan minority status and thus attracted political pressure that resulted in her dropping out of the Illinois Democratic nominations. She almost got away with "Fear is the Mind Killer" from Frank Herbert's DUNE but then she said "Live Long and Prosper" while making the vulcan hand sign and gave her secret away. > I know, I know, putting a 'buy from Amazon" link in my blog - that's just plain hookery!
