Best of TWoP: Quote #853

spacedog: "And, I must say that I do not watch the L&O franchise to feel safe. For your information, Mr. Big, I watch it to fufill my lustful yearnings."

add_duck: "Heh. I think you've just spoken for the majority of this thread. I completely agree, L&O rarely makes me feel "safe." Episodes like "Contact" freak me out, even if Our Heroes eventually catch the bad guys. They couldn't prevent it from happening in the first place, huh? And then episodes like "Popular" make me feel unsafe because they teach me that some self-righteous cop might decide to stick his nose in my private medical business..."

Spacedog: "Yeah, I'm in constant fear that an extremely hot, blonde ADA is gonna show up at my door, and demand to search my house without a warrant. Wait...that's not a fear, that's another lustful yearning. Nevermind."

"You've presented a provocative theory. What it lacks in substance, it makes up for in pretty colors."

So I'm taking this for a test drive...

This one I do know why I have. Awww, Ed is cute.

Also, I've been spending way too much time reading the old Law & Order SVU thread on TWoP. My favorite post so far today:

Meanwhile, this line just rang strange: "Now the only people who can save them are the men and women sworn to protect them." I mean, that's an odd construction, isn't it? Kind of like: "Now the only person who can drive the bus is the bus driver." The hell?

From Learned Hand

That thread is better than crack.

The Things We Find Under the Bed...

For some reason, I have this picture saved on my computer. I'm thinking it's an old photo of the Supreme Court or something. Why do I have it? I don't know...Old white men in robes, so not sexy.

Quote of the Day

"You know, every day I get out of bed and drag myself to the next cup of coffee. I take a sip and the caffeine kicks in. I can focus my eyes again. My brain starts to order the day. I'm up, I'm alive. I'm ready to rock. But the time is coming when I wake up and decide that I'm not getting out of bed. Not for coffee, or food or sex. If it comes to me, fine. If it won't, fine. No more expectations. The longer I live, the less I know. I should know more. I should know the coffee's killing me. You're suspicious of your suspicions? I'm jealous, Kay; I'm so jealous. You still have the heart to have doubts. Me? I'm going to lock up a 14-year-old kid for what could be the rest of his natural life. I got to do this. This is my job. This is the deal. This is the law. This is my day. I have no doubts or suspicions about it. Heart has nothing to do with it any more. It's all in the caffeine."
