"The paparazzi are driving me crazy!"		"Man, you wouldn't believe the night I just went through."
"Sign me up for global warming!"		"Wow, was there ever a hot time on the old snow last night!"
"Well, rehab wasn't all that bad."		After a bit of a thaw, my Dr. Who makeover.
"A question: > > > > >"		"Okay, now, let me get this straight: Hot days are a sign of global warming. Cold days are a sign of global warming. Severe drought is a sign of global warming. Storms and floods are signs of global warming. Lack of snow in winter is a sign of global warming. Tons of snow in winter is a sign of global warming. "This is Snodad's question: If by greening, recycling, shutting down industry, and getting all the cows to stop farting we manage to stop global warming, how can we tell?"

"I don't know, man. You dig yourself out and they just bury you again."		"The stock market did what?!"
"And now, on top of everything else, the flu."		"Maybe we could get the government to STOP helping us!"

"Seems to be a warming trend."		"Warming trend continues, dog pee closing in." (What about that new makeover?)
"My 401k is worth what?"		"No! Not that!"

"Okay, the big bank thing didn't work out so well and it looks as though spring is going to have its way with me. So . . . Have no fear, children dear, I'll be back with the snow Come winter's cold next year . . . If there is a next year
