"I have nipples, Greg.  Could you milk me?"

Best line in that movie.

If I'm reading him correctly, he's saying that sometimes what is within the normal range of young male behavior gets diagnosed as ADD.

Yes. Particularly ADHD.

I don't drink milk from horses, dogs, cats, sheep, or even goats.

Well I doubt he meant animals like dog/cats (after all those would hard be classified as just "farm animals") and while you might not, many people consume sheep/goat's milk in the form of cheese.  I think that just leaves horses and most of us don't consume any part of a horse, I think.

Horse milk is used a lot in Asia, I believe.

 I woke from the halcyon dream of easter weekend and an extended time of leisure to discover that a 25 page paper, upon which hinges my graduating this spring, is in fact due wednesday afternoon.

Naturally, as a sensible aesthete in pursuit of beautiful experiences and the reassuring rhythms of repetitive days of inactivity, I have not yet started. But as my future ambitions, one of my few remaining hostages to fortune, threaten to come to nothing, I am compelled to work.

Although there is a sense of oppressive despair (and more base mere oppression,) there is also a sense of excitement. If I must work, I prefer it to be done in a furor with meaningful stakes and a sense of drama attending the feverish last-minute expenditure of effort.

I requested my roommate to dump a bucket of cold water over me while I wore nothing more than a hachimaki and fundoshi; I then (and am now presently) set down to several shots of (it must be said, quite cheap) sake, and will now set to the task. The current atmosphere is almost inappropriately ebullient.

And in Eastern European porn made by junkies.

I see the Brits are adapting the US model on energy generation:  1) reduce the availability of power on the grid, 2) increased demand means increased consumer costs, 3) PROFIT!
