Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Neil! He's eating my chair now! Neil, I'm really scared! This "acting calm" ploy is NOT WORKING! We're going to die, don't you understand?! Let's run, Neil! Let's just get up and run! We'll split up as soon as we're out the door, and one of us will survive to warn the others!

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight-- it's the size of the dog in the living room. Which in this case is very, very large."
"You see, mass increases as the cube of length, while area increases only as the square. The strength of bone is proportional to the area of its cross section. That's why anytime Rover tries to go anywhere his legs snap like twigs."

OK, first, the Iowa caucuses aren't the last word on anything. And second, just because Bill Kristol invents some nonsense like the Big Red Dog Republicans doesn't mean that . . . ahhh, wha tha . . . gig gig behind you, gig . . .
I read in Entertainment Weekly that ABC's stockpile of wrapped "Cavemen" episodes was the most of any non-animated broadcast network sitcom heading into the strike. Now I realize that Christmas and New Year's fell on Tuesdays. But now, what the hell are they waiting for? My God, maybe the show couldn't have prevailed in the cage match, but it can damn well win a no-show forfeit. Throw it against the completely blank wall, it'll stick.

"Actually by the 800 lb dog in the room I didn't mean China's looming world domination but, yeah, I'm kind of worried about being swallowed whole by that, too."
"It's a matter of physics, Roger. A dog that size would have to have proportionally thicker bones to support it's bulk and thinner ears, like an elephant, so they wouldn't just rip themselves off the head. It would look very different from a normal sized dog. Alternatively people as small as you suggest would be drowned or burst as soon as they attempted to drink because of the viscosity and capillary action of water. You can't simply shrink or grow things without taking these sorts of things into account."
"I meant to tell you, Kim Jong Il called again. He's upped to 7 million but still won't offer more than 1.2 before delivery. But after that kraut with the rabbits I don't trust him."
