Glenn Beck: So what if God actually exists, sir, would he not have been good to you?
Christopher Hitchens: No, he wouldn't, because if that were true, that would mean that I had an eternal supervising parent who would never die and let me get on with my life, never let me grow up, keep me under surveillance, and constantly ask me to be thanking and praising him.

Glenn Beck: Well, I'm not sure that God is Kim Jong-Il, but--
Christopher Hitchens: Well, ask Kim Jong-Il, I think he has a different opinion.

Dear tumblr,

modus-ponies:
In 7th grade my english teacher banned us from using certain words in our essays, such as the word “was”. The objective?

I think the same idea can be applied to political/social arguments on tumblr: ban certain overused buzzwords, so people stop relying on them as a crutch. I think...

Big Bang Theory
[group seated in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, with Penny sitting in Sheldon's seat]
*Audience is bracing themselves*
[Sheldon comes out to greet them.]
*Audience draws in huge breaths, preparing to expel the gas in a violent release of pure ecstasy*
Sheldon: Excuse me Penny, you are sitting in my spot.
*Audience erupts into fits of laughter previously unknown to mankind.

Rioting is spread across L.A until the episode is aired, four days later martial law is declared within the United States.*
