Who's the FANCY MOTHERF***ER cookin' up them tasty smells?" (Téodor was cooking his famous risotto, and bowed). / END OF CUSSES / Introducing... Kid Cusses!

(if you see a really pretty lady) / "Frederick is being a real tush head." / Chris says that someone named Don Imus is, "...like Andy Rooney, only senile, old, and grouchy."

He's serious about this (although he IS laughing a lot). / Téodor says he will open a competing town called "Miracle Slice, Tennessee." / Lyle left, and they started to make fun of him.

Now he's... _end_of_times_wigger_ / What's a Canadian? He's like an American, but he doesn't use a lot of dangerous adjectives.

Achewood - April 15, 2005 [[Interior, Ray's house. Ray is pacing about, deep in thought.]] / Ray: (thinking) Man, I am at a crossroads here. / Ray: (thinking) On the one hand, Japan Man is right. One should be able to make one's own fortune in America. / Ray: (thinking) On the other hand, Japan Man is wrong. If you can't hang in the major leagues, you simply shouldn't play. / Ray: (thinking) So this is a classic struggle. / Ray: (thinking) Do I do the humanitarian thing and bow out so he can prosper? / Ray: (thinking) Or do I play the game as it is played and call it survival of the fittest? / Ray: (thinking) Perhaps I'll just repurpose the joint rolling machine and make money a different way. / Ray: This month's Playboy Advisor says that the parietal lobe is the part of the brain that controls hand-eye coordination. / Ray: (thinking) Perhaps we can wire the machine up to a small taser, which is calibrated to send an exact type of shock to the parietal lobe, / Ray: (thinking) ...which causes the subject to take out his wallet and throw it as far as he can from himself. / Ray: Lyle could catch it with a lacrosse stick or butterfly net. / Ray: (thinking) This could easily toe the line between Nobel Prize and prison time. I GOT to find out if I can spin this as humanitarian. What's the firm that changed Paris Hilton from cocksucking dumbo to entrepreneur who did not send the whole world an MPEG of her sucking cock? They're good. / {{alt text - Let us not forget the Triangle Factory Fire}}

She had to get back to I don't know, some crappy-assed waitress job in a few hours, but for now, the my pool house was the limits of their world. / [[Page two of the Novel]] / "Wait," whispered Roast Beef, as he slyly produced a spicy Greek pepperoncini in vinegar. She moaned softly as he traced the outline of her nipple with it. Soon, she couldn't stand it any longer. She pulled his nothin' to write home about chest to hers and locked him in a passionate kiss. / In the morning, he awoke before her, and lovingly prepared his special breakfast of those canned Hormel tamales with the little piece of paper in between each one. / {{Title/Alt Text: Molly seductively slid a raunchy little tamale across her I haven't really noticed them lips, and soon...}}
