PUPPY: Warf!
INSPECTOR: And Niles Crane from 'Frasier' possessed by Satan, his odor offended you. And also, you're possessed by Satan.
NILES: He perpetually stank of plums! I DETEST plums! (possessed voice) And it always is a right treat to sink yer teeth into a man's spleen and chomp on it while he's watchin' yez, and then spit it out onto the parquet floor and look over at the customers and yell "Mornin', K-Mart shoppers! Aisle 3's gonna be closed fer clean-up!" But that doesn't mean I chomped on the Major, now, does it?
INSPECTOR: Not necessarily. For you see, the true killer was...

My biggest obstacle (as you both can attest) is my craptastic Comcast connection in the evenings. Apart from Monday nights I'm totally free...it's just that there's a chance I might spend it swearing at the modem and waving my laptop around instead of actually, you know, being ONLINE.
