I hope they are watching. They'll see. This is my gift. My curse. And for a moment, I thought we were in trouble. I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Now we are free. I will see you again, but not yet. Not yet. And like that... poof... they're gone. Good night, and good luck.

The following is inspired by an actual conversation. "It can't be an X-Wing. Look at the nose, it's way too short." (But it clearly looks like the wings can go flap up into an X) "True, but look at the engines! There's only one engine on each side; the X-Wing has two each side!" (I mean, it's clearly not complete. Maybe they're adding more engines.) "But there's no room for more! Look how they're placed! It's not an X-Wing, but I bet it's from the same manufacturer." (The same... fictional manufacturer?) "Yeah, like, Star Wars Boeing."

I used to think that I could not go on and life was nothing but a prehistoric song, but now I know the meaning of true love. I'm leaning on the T-Rex's arms. If I can see it, then I can do it. If I just believe it, there's nothing to it. I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. I think about it every night and day. Spread my wings and eat people. I believe I can soar. I see me running through that science laboratory. I believe I can fly. I believe I can fly. I believe I can fly. See I was on The Verge of breaking down. Sometimes silence can seem so loud. There are miracles in life I must achieve, but first I know it starts inside of me, oh. If I can see it, then I can be it. If I just believe it, there's nothing to it. Hey, cause I believe in me, oh. If I can see it, then I can do it. If I just believe it, there's nothing to it. Hey, if I just spread my wings. I can fly. I can fly. I can fly, hey. If I just spread my wings. I can fly-eye-eye-eye. Hum, fly-eye-eye.And life was nothing but a prehistoric song. But now I know the meaning of true love I'm leaning on the T-Rex's arms. If I can see it, then I can do it.

"Alright, I got it. I'm gonna make a 3D printer, no bigger than a bread box, and it's gonna be able to print out 3D prints of itself. And they can lock in together to make even bigger 3D things." "Dude... I think that's how The Matrix happened."

Status Thoughts: How many monkeys can really fit in a barrel? Do squirrels have nut allergies? Why does it say 91 seconds when you watch this on YouTube? If a tree falls in the woods, does it scare the smaller animals? Also where do mules come from?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's time we look beyond DVD, beyond Blu-ray, and to a new physical format altogether. One that will meet our needs for years to come. The disc itself is wearing thin, no pun intended. Customers can't tell the difference between a CD and a Blu-ray at first glance. If the hold it the wrong, they can smudge or worse scratch the data away. Scratch. It. Away. And cloud? What's cloud? It's nothing tangible. My esteemed colleagues, what I hold today will last a lifetime. It's portable, you can hold it pretty much however you want, and it will stand the test of time." "Excuse me, sir? That's a Super Nintendo cartridge." "Exactly!"

"Anarchy! Anarchy! Anarchy!" screamed the voices in his head. The youthful trainer moves around erratically up, down, left, right. Going into his bag. Looking away from his bag. A rattata appears in a shrub near the Route 1 sign post. Out comes Squirtle, as if by instinct. "Democracy! Democracy! Tackle! Tackle!" The rattata is weak and prime for capture! "Anarhcy! Run away!" What?! The trainer thinks he might have a psychosis.

I hereby approve the official merger of raspberry jelly and chunky peanut butter. Under the merger rules, the two entities must live in unity on toasted rye, as one. If either the jelly or the peanut butter exit the toasted rye and land on an article of clothing (pants, shirt, socks, etc.), the blame is to be put on both entities. If either party does not abide by these rules, the snack shall hereby be terminated.

In 1954 Godzilla made his feature-film debut. In 1962, he fought King Kong. In 1977 he took on The Avengers and Fantastic Four. In 1985, he sold Dr Pepper. In 1992 he played basketball with Charles Barkley. In 1998, he co-starred with Matthew Broderick in a romantic comedy by Roland Emmerich. And at some point in the timeline he took his son out for a loving stroll and taught him to use atomic breath.
