->''At first I didn't realize\\
I needed all this stuff\\
I had a little cottage\\
And that cottage was enough\\
A place where I could sit and knit\\
A place where I could sell my Thneeds\\
But now I have a little time\\
To reassess my needs\\
And I need a bigger office\\
I need a bigger chair\\
A bigger desk, a bigger staff\\
A bigger hat to wear\\
[[AmbitionIsEvil Because I'm biggering\\
I'm figuring on biggering\\
And biggering\\
Is triggering\\
More biggering]]''

->[Lotus]'s the reason why [[TheMagicGoesAway magic is disappearing]], because she's strangled nearly all of it out of [[CosmicKeystone the stone]]. She doesn't even want to do anything with it. By now, she should have [[RealityWarper the power to shape the universe]], but she never really learned how to use it properly. Because all she cares about is having it, not using it. She just wants to have it because she doesn't want anyone else to have it.

->'''Chris:''' The TV screen reveals that there are four criminals currently at large, which, in a city of 10,000,000, speaks pretty highly of Batman’s abilities: The Penguin, the Joker, the Riddler, and of course, Catwoman. Who [[PaperThinDisguise was just in the room.]]\\

->As if [[Wrestling/ChrisJericho Jericho]] couldn't wait to get out of the company fast enough, his fiancee went to the store one day and bought a Jericho-[[Wrestling/DeanMalenko Malenko]] WCW doll set. Strangely, the receipt claimed that she'd purchased a [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]]-Wrestling/{{Sting}} package. Of course, that meant that Hogan and Sting got the residual revenue from the purchase, not Jericho.

->Thanks to a little thing called The Internet, finding out if you’re about to perform for a dictator-type has never been easier. For example, you could throw their name into a search engine with the words “is maybe a dictator?” and see what comes up. Or you could use email and see if you receive any concerned emails from human rights groups with the subject line: “So I heard you’re about to perform for a dictator…“. Or, if you’re Music/NickiMinaj, you say “Fuck it” and perform for the dictator anyway.
