Junkyardigans! Better than the backyardigans!

I like to think that I can find cool, strange language... let's put it to the test! JUNKYARD! GO! ALL IN ONE SHOT!!!

"If a lion / had you in its jaws, I would attack it, if the ropes / binding your soul are your own wrists, I will cut them."
Sharon Olds, THE PROMISE

I never get tired of reading this one. Such amazing language. if you don't agree, I don't really know what to say to you.

"I thought of men and women who sell their blood for / a drink of sleep in a doorway..."
Susan Mitchell, A STORY

"How do you hone your chops?"
Random guy at Dragoncon

I have no idea if that even makes sense or not, but a guy who was trying to get into voice acting asked the voice acting panel how someone might hone his or her chops, which struck me as an odd question to ask.

"You're giving me that look like 'David, I want you to stick ice up my butt.'"
me, me, me

I was in the hotel after the first night in Dragoncon when my girlfriend called and was asking about the trip. My friend went off to go get ice, and came back claiming to have a buttload of ice. I ended up joking about the buttload of ice that my girlfriend told me to guess what kind of look she was giving me. The above quote was my response.
