came into the e.r. drinking gin from a jam jar
My roommate just offered me food.
And like, he's a good guy and I bet his food is good, but I don't want to share his food. I have a thing sometimes about not sharing food.

bury me in a treasure trough

the sharpest knife in the west
- The Magnificent Ambersons is exciting but ultimately a let down. You can tell just from watching the release version what other things must have been in the one that got burned. Sometimes it gets really majestic and you think, "If only this were a real movie."
