Ungrateful

The murals in restaurants are on par with the food in museums.

kitten I like this place, but it's different every time. There's no consistency. Kind of like when you cook dinner.

Do not consider painful what is good for you.
Euripides


kitten: She stopped drinking caffeine.

bbq: Because she's pregnant?

kitten: Yeah. I told her that you quit drinking, too. Because you're pregnant.

bbq: ....

kitten: Just kidding. You're too old to get pregnant.

I can see clearly, now

Build a man a fire, he'll stay warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll stay warm for the rest of his life.
Unknown.

Bbq: Don't put a candle on the bookshelf. You'll burn the house down. See how hot it is?

Kitten: But it's a "Sleepy Time" candle, to relax you.

Bbq: Not if it burns the house down.

Kitten: Think about all the light we'll have!.

Okonowha?

There ain't no such thing as wrong food.
Sean Stewart
Perfect Circle, 2004

bbq: I bet that ground pork would be good in okonomiyaki.

kitten: Oooh, yeah. Let's have that.

bbq: Sorry, we don't have enough cabbage.

kitten: There's cabbage in there.

bbq: Yes, but it's not enough. We need a quart and that'll barely make 2 cups.

kitten: I can be enough. Just make it ... you know, more okono and less miyaki.

T.S. Eliot

On Thin Ice

A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.
Terry Pratchett
The Fifth Elephant

kitten: Would it seem conceited if I walked down the aisle to "Isn't she lovely"

bbq: Not if you're on roller skates.

kitten: No roller skates! Our wedding is a beautiful expression of our love, not a chance for me to make an ass of myself. I can do that for a lot less money.

kitten:(stops and glares) Yes, but I'm an American and I want it now.
