I’m making this category… because I can.
So, if you spend any time talking to me, you’ll know that I say a lot of movie quotes. Usually, though, nobody knows what I’m talking about. So I’m making a category so that you can gauge whether or not you can understand me, I guess. My Rosetta Stone of movie quotes, if you will. Ready?
“What, you got dog ears?”
This might become its own category

If there was an apocalypse* and I somehow survived… I would automatically become a vegetarian. Seriously. I just don’t think that I can look some poor, defenseless animal in the eyes, hunt it down, kill it, and eat it.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m a happy carnivore… but only for burgers and steaks and such. This might be weird, but I can’t eat something once I’ve seen its face. I suppose that’s hypocritical of me in some way, but hey, we’ve all got our flaws.
* by “apocalypse”, I mean like, if the supervolcano at Yellowstone erupted, or if “the big one” (earthquake) finally hit CA, or if the Earth got hit by a meteor; something like that.

Coinage
Check this out… the vending machine at work can take $5 bills, and it gives dollar coins as change. These gold, Andrew Johnson $1 coins. Did you know we had these?
Much like the newly designed penny, I detest these. Not the actual coins; they’re pretty sharp, objectively. What makes me wonder is why we’re spending money on these in the first place. Did we need a prettier penny? What was wrong with the old ones? Are they trying to get us to like pennies? Why?
I dunno. It probably took a million or two (or twenty) to set up these redesigns; it just seems like that kind of money could be better spent. Kinda like that scene in “Dave”, it just seems sad that we’re cutting services and education money so that people can have a prettier penny. Or dollar.
