Slogans

Abstinence-only sex ed is like pedestrian-only driver's ed

All this, and brains, too!

Been there. Done that. Beat the indictment.

The cats' monkey servant

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to their own facts

Everyone is unique, but not you

How many fans does it take to change a light bulb? One, but only after telling you their life story at 3AM in
the con suite.

I used to not be interested in politics. I'd like to get back to that.

If it goes away when you remember to take your meds, it probably isn't a character flaw

It's alright. We weren't using those civil liberties anyway.

It's ok to look. If I didn't want you to look, I'd have worn a different outfit.

Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?

Make it right before you make it faster

Money and popularity are how people without talent keep score

The person who says it can't be done shouldn't interrupt the person who is doing it

The sixth sense: wonder

Today's Monday, tomorrow's Tuesday, the day after is Wednesday. Week's half over, and we haven't done anything yet.

University faculties are communities of scholars united only by common grievances about parking

What appears to be a crisis is often just the end of an illusion

Why do the people in the back of the elevator always want to get out first?

You mean we spent three billion years giving them brains the size of cantaloupes, and no one thought to install an ON switch?

You're making sense. Stop that.

You're really lucky. My voices LIKE you.

I am the Hauber Maus!
Who moved my civic engagement cheese?

It's really funny to about five people.

I'm hoping to be at Darkover. Otherwise, if you want to mail it to me, you can just bill me.

Could you be persuaded to change that to "It's all right" instead of "alright"?

Quite possibly, but I checked google, and there are 2.6 million "it's all right" vs. 2.5 million "it's alright", so there isn't a strong consensus. Do you have an argument for "it's all right" or is it a matter of feeling? Even if it's the latter, I might still be convinced.

Even if it's popular and commonly used, it's still bad English, and not in an entertaining way, but in a sloppy, it's-too-much-trouble-to-do-it-right way. Like "would of" for "would've" or "alot" for "a lot".

hugs. You made my day.

Ummmmm.... shouldn't that be "first"?

Thanks, and I'm correcting it.

I've got some more bad news for you...

No apology required. It seems to be one of those better world misspellings, (in a better world, it *would* be spelled that way) so I'll be correcting iit for the buttons as well as for the catalogue.
