You mean the doctor has to ask your opinion, not just reassure you in a kindly manner that he knows best so you don't have to worry your pretty little
I'm so relieved that sentence ended the way it did.

The rainbow connection.
Wrong discriminated group. As S. Colbert could tell you, rainbows are just god's way of frowning at gay people.

I shall be on my best behaviour, unfortunately. Well, at least initially.
I wasn't implying you'd be anything but.

The only consolation is the prospect of introducing Hart and Dalziel over dinner later on
And I shall be hiding behind a ficus, recording a bootleg of the whole thing.

I imagine everyone has a list of sexual practices that make them go "ew" or even just "I don't geddit"
Justine and I had dinner at the table next to a couple of porn actresses some years ago, and I can safely say it was the most instructive hour of my life. The standout sentence (whilst complaining about the German movie industry) was the following: "everybody likes defecation, but on camera?"
Definitely T-shirt, if not tombstone material.

That’s what brings us to this place, one where I’m going to try to explain BDSM, in a manner so unsalacious as to suck all the fun out of it.
Initially I thought well, that's just cruel, but brilliant work as usual, Emma. With special hooray for the following:
To which I can only say this: the search for a cause is inherently degrading. It sees a particular sexual taste as abnormal, as a departure from how people are supposed to be. Nobody asks what causes a person to enjoy vanilla sex.
Also I'd like to say: gnocchi.

I suspect there might be a profitable side-line in Writer Patting.
I demand micro-payments for my kind words. It's an area of human expression that is unaccountably un-monetised at present.

I think you can construct a reasoned argument that charities and NGOs stepping into the void left by the state makes it easier for the state not to be in that void.
It's an old problem, and it isn't going away - we do what we do because we see needs in society that aren't being met, and we can't stomach the idea of letting them go to complete rot so to the point that somebody from an institution HAS to provide. It's a way of redistributing wealth, to the poor from the slightly less poor, and we simply couldn't function without it. Which is why I agree with those who've said that politicians from either of our major parties shouldn't be allowed to take part and look good.

I found the MUNIs on the LA buses incredibly courteous, and I was probably the most inept customer they had encountered in quite a while.
Why would anyone waste their time writing and illustrating something like this -- let alone reading it?
I know of at least one person who intends to waste his money buying it, so shut up.

If the end result is that poor kids get food and clothes, then who cares how it's done?
I would have responded by Keir did it much better.
No, Gio, I object to the kind of drive by guilt trip where if you don't donate to someone's favoured charity its assumed you're hateful and callous.
If only that was even remotely what Hilary was driving at, ay?
