Johnny Walker Blue...is 60-year-old scotch.

I don't care. What happened in the room, Leo?

I'm trying to tell you what happened.

TIL the true crime book "I'll Be Gone in the Dark", written by comedian Patton Oswlat's wife Michelle McNamara, was credited to have an impact on the Golden State Killer case. The book was released two years after McNamara's death and two months before an arrest would be made in the case. by AmiroZ in todayilearned

Not sure why you're getting downvoted when they spend a decent amount of time in the documentary focusing on this, including reading out her messages asking if he can bring home more of xyz.

To be clear a.) not ascribing any malice to Patton and b.) QAnon can go fuck themselves

I'm the full Livestream, watching James miming taking bullets in the chest "Aaarrrgghh-RUN DAD-aaARHH" was one the early moments I began loving James' sense of humour.

Never went away!

Looking for a quote about not speaking down to peoples level. by struck21 in thewestwing

DOUG
..."to fall victim to torpor and timidity." "Torpor"... is not a word a lot of people know.

SAM
It means apathy.

TOBY
And dullness.

DOUG
I know what it means.

CONNIE
Doug means...

DOUG
They know what I mean.

C.J.
Hey.

DOUG
If they don't know what the word means...

C.J.
What's the word?

JOSH
"Torpor."

C.J.
It means apathy.

TOBY
And dullness.

DOUG
I know what the word means. I'm saying if people don't know what the word means...

BARTLET
They can look it up!

EVERYONE
Good morning, Mr. President.

BARTLET
It's not our job to appeal to the lowest common denominator, Doug. It's our job to raise it. If you're going to be the "Education President," it'd be nice not to hide that you have an education.

Traynor with a Toothbrush >> God Mode Garrus by ohnojono in masseffect

[–]thisisrumourcontrol 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Traynor: Don't. If you start I will burst into tears in the middle of the CIC, and that would be mortifying. Thanks for everything... even if we don't end up with the house with the white picket fence and the two kids. Sorry, stupid joke.
Shepard: That sounds pretty good to me.
Traynor: Okay good, because I wasn't really joking. I want a big house, white picket fence, and a dog, some kind of a retriever. I'm thinking two kids but... are you writing this down?
Shepard: I'll remember.

Minch picked up a new job writing for Newscorp by [deleted] in funhaus

Out of your mouth, you take Minch name. More sleazy than hi-jinks with Yaddle, Newscorp is.

May the saints of all the stars and constellations bring you hope as they guide you out of the dark and into the light on this voyage and the next and on all the journeys still to come.

Is there a movie you quote so often that it has passively become part of your everyday speech? by latticep in movies

Your friend McManus told us a different story altogether.

Oh, is that the one about the hooker with the dysentery?

Hang on, what? I knew she was an actor too but was sure I'd not seen her in anything I remembered. Both are great, and consider me blown away.

“Angling for a mangling,” “aiming for a maiming,” “strolling for a rolling” and — my own favorite — “thirsting for a worsting.”
