It actually took me a second to catch. I blame not having enough coffee. Than I was glad I didn't have my coffee yet.

I noticed one of the Chrono Trigger endings has this: "Legendary programmer, 29, seeks special someone. Not quite Hero material, but still the stuff of legend. Waiting for those cards and letters."

So we were having a debate over Obamacare because someone made a Facebook group protesting it. No matter what you think of the bill (join the protest if you want, makes no matter to me), I rocked this.

Guy: He doesn't have that kind of power!!! Either implement the law the way it was written, or scrap it and start all over. That's why numerous states are nullyfing this nightmare, and that's why he's facing endless lawsuits by state attorney generals. Only congress wields that kind of power...not king Obunghole!!!

Me: Only the great Cornholio has power over the Bunghole.

Got the guy to actually like that comment and admit it was funny. Defused the entire situation into a pleasant "Agree to disagree- on this subject, at least. Have a good night."

I WIN AT PEACE \o/

And 90s nostalgia.

Your body is made of the same elements that lionesses are built from. Three quarters of you is the same kind of water that beats rocks to rubble, wears stones away. Your DNA translates into the same twenty amino acids that wolf genes code for. When you look in the mirror and feel weak, remember, the air you breathe in fuels forest fires capable of destroying everything they touch. On the days you feel ugly, remember: diamonds are only carbon. You are so much more.

Me: "Ma'am, tomorrow is the 4th. That's kinda our song. If you can take that out of context, the terrorists have pretty much won."

Yeah, I don't know what to think of it. It just made me stop for a moment.
