I feel like punching somebody in the nuts.

Is that how you indicate you would like some pop?

The five is that fox show with the hot chicks.  :P

Or and important freeway on the west coast. :angry:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I still wonder what they are calling it in those parts of New Mexico and North Carolina. :hmm:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The "carmel" pronunciation of the word "caramel" has always annoyed the piss out of me. My mom's family were repeat offenders. Always sounded lazy and provincial to me.

That map didn't distinguish between car-a-mel and care-a-mel.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I thought they called subs "grinders" in Boston. 
Yup
No.  They call them that in Rhode Island, or more accurately "grinduhs".  It's "sub" in Boston.  When I went there for college I got roundly mocked the first time I said I wanted a "hoagie".

Da fuck is a gawdamn hoagie, kid?

Also, the map about "the city" is complete bullshit.  NOBODY down here says that when they mean New York. :wacko:
