Anus, Ballsack. I just lost my student ID somewhere in Uptown Waterloo, and it’s fucking pouring, so I can’t even walk home. UGH. Picking up Bossypants from the library was supposed to be a joyous occasion…
“It’s not for him to say is it? We’ll be the fucking judge of how smug you are, you smug shit! […] ‘I’m not smug, and I’m not horrible, and I’m not dishonest’ Shut up! Do things!”

David Mitchell on Mock the Week
LOL I love how angry he gets!
“If that weren’t bad enough, I’m also an actor: one of those pampered ninnies who hasn’t bought a loaf of bread in a decade and can’t find his way through an airport without a babysitter. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that I’ve got some Chinese characters tattooed on my arse. Or elbow. Same thing.”

Hugh Laurie on his new blues album, “Let Them Talk”
I love the self-deprecating humour of British comics.
“Some may blackly (angrily) accuse me of trying to blacken (defame) the English language, to give it a black eye (a mark of shame) by writing such black words (hostile). They may denigrate (to cast aspersions) me by accusing me of being blackhearted (malevolent), of having a black outlook (pessimistic) on life, of being a blackguard (scoundrel)- which would certainly be a black mark (detrimental fact) against me. Some may black brow (scowl at) at me and hope that a black cat crosses in front of me because of this black deed. I may become a black sheep, who will be blackballed (ostracized) by being placed on a blacklist in an attempt to blackmail or blackjack (compel by threat) me will have a Chinaman’s chance of success, for I am not a yellow-bellied Indian-giver of words, who will whitewash (cover up or gloss over) a black lie (harmful, inexcusable). I challenge the purity and innocence (white) of the English language. I don’t see things in black and white (entirely bad or entirely good) terms, for I am a white man (marked by upright firmness) if there ever was one. However, it would be a black day when I would not “call a spade a spade,” even though some will suggest that a white man calling the English language racist is like the pot calling the kettle black. While many may be niggardly (grudging, scanty) in their support, others will be honest and decent- and to them I say, that’s very white of you (honest, decent).”

Just to clarify:
Although she has her moments, my friend Chandni is actually really smart, and definitely one of the sweetest, funniest coolest people I know.
Just making sure she isn’t misrepresented here =D
