“[S]prinkled with pixie dust vacuum-sintered with an alloy of unobtanium and thiotimolene..”

The best phrase I've read all week, appearing in this vent regarding Hewlett-Packard printer-component pricing structure.

The best phrase I've heard all week came from my husband, who (referring to so-called "fruit snacks" — you and I know they're really a form of differently-shaped gummy bears) claimed that the manufacturers obtain the right to call them "fruit" because they "wave a pear over the vat.  Actually, USDA regulations only require that it be a plastic pear."
