"A man may fight for many things. His country, his principles, his friends. The glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn."

It's bad.

It's bubbling up on TV now. (no pun intended)

At least 100k without water in something like six counties. The chem spill has made the water unfit to drink or bathe with. It's only suitable for flushing the toilet and cannot be boiled clean.

A water distribution facility has been set up, but has already run out of water. It's hoped it will have more this afternoon.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Watching the footage of the emergency water supply being delivered by tanker trucks in not encouraging. There doesn't seem to be any attempt to prevent cross contamination at all.  In just a 30 second spot, I was things such as garden hoses hooked up to the tanks just left lying in the mud and operators are holding their dirty gloved thumbs over the hoses while they are filling up jugs for people.
