“‘I hope Ice King will sweep me off my feet and take me to the farthest corner of Ooo, where we will do nothing but kiss and eat a whole bunch, until we get fat and die.’ The end.” – The Ice King (Adventure Time) It’s not uncommon to see...

“Said the liar” was always a favorite phrase of mine. In my annoying Ugg-boots-and-jean-skirt-wearin’ days back in the eighth grade, I thought I was just so hilarious by tacking these three words onto the end of anything out of anyone’s mouth....
