Sit on it

One thing I always wanted as a child was a treehouse. One time, my friend and I spend an afternoon lugging old lumber down the street from her yard to mine, and we made a good pile down by the woods. We didn't have any nails and weren't allowed to use a saw. Then my dad made me get rid of the wood because it was killing the grass.

Don't let them make eye contact

Like sands thru the hourglass

Kh-kh-kh-kh-kh-kh-khee

Oh yes, Transformers was an enjoyable experience, albeit a bit hard on the ass. There should definately be more robot-based entertainment, both on and off screen. Once, I said that I'd like a robot to wash my dishes, and I was quickly reminded that we already have a thing called the dishwasher. I'll have to ponder this a little longer, I suppose.

Who doesn't like a good quote?

The use of quotes is pretty lame; I've only ever used them in essays. Have you ever heard somebody use one in actual conversation that wasn't meant for comic effect? But I can really appreciate the Yoda quotes, let me tell you. That dude was wise.
