Pointless But It Makes Me Chuckle to Myself

Disco biscuits is pretty recognised I think in Uk. You hear people calling pills biscuits / sweets / sweeties.

I like 'beans' as slang for pills. Apart from being small and round, there's the great phrase "full of beans" and the fact that they can both put your lower gut through its paces on occasion.

Of course Ketamine has been referred to as 'wonky donkey', or 'the old horse wobbler'.

The Old Horse Wobbler = the dark sequel to The Horse Whisperer that was sadly never commissioned...

nabk is a kind of shrub, apparently

'Rodent Channel' is particularly apt for a tube station

 

[Mr. Tea]

'Zoot', 'bifter' and 'doobie' are all good words. 'Comedy cigarette' has a certain charm in the right context, too.

[Mr. Tea]

Oh. My. God.

Amy Goodman on Democracy Now asking Desmond Tutu if he thought Barack Obama would 'follow through' on Copenhagen.

I thought they were supposed to be cutting emissions...

ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU: We hope. We hope he will, yes. He has given the world a great deal of hope. And we—I have said he’s now a Nobel laureate—become what you are. Come on, bye-bye, bye-bye.

The thought that sometime in the future robots may be doing 'the human'

 

[massrock]

They'll certainly be doing humans, one way or another.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Heh, great one-two on the robots there lads.

More Joy Division silliness - it struck me the other day that I should get together with a couple of my mates who've both had thorny breakups this year so we can collaborate on writing the bitterest, nastiest anti-ballad ever, called 'Love Will Tear Us A New One'.

Watching Scarface over the holidays and hearing the phrase "Talk to Frank" occur several times in the dialogue.
