"To heck with a husband... just help me find a dependable electrician."

Akron, oh, you're on Ask Sadie. What's your problem?! I'm thinking of not signing up for health insurance this year. Good idea. In my day, there was no such thing as health insurance. If you got sick, you paid for it with either money or chickens. That's if you were a lily-livered coward who just had to see a doctor.

I really think I can handle this date on my own. Lemme ask you something. Would you trust me alone with a ybot 340? An Xbox 360? They changed the name? Okay. But you cannot hit on my date. I'm only here to help.

Thrift: New way to eat eggs (avoid needless transport costs).

"I chose to stand up to special interest groups!"

"Just a couple of ninety cent seed packets, and you can have fresh garden vegetables for heaven knows how long."

"For goodness sake, not again, it's day-time but we can't see the sky: It must be another oil spill..."

Dragon Recycling the Knights it has defeated

"I can't make it out - on the packet it said radishes."

"Sorry, Rudolph, but the production on electric reindeers and their batteries gives work to thousands of children while you destroy the climate with your farts."

"Can you believe Jim made all the furniture out of old rubbish?"

'It's not as picturesque as the old steeple but it's saving a fortune in electricity bills!'

Look! There's a photo of our eco club's Earth Day actions in the newspaper! Sports. Power up the green machine!! I could use more copies. Me too. They're going to really power up my college applications.

Sorry, I only eat organic, fair-trade, shade-grown, biodynamic, raw dirt.
