Surreal.
The Al Haig remark did it but what preceded didn't?

Haw, that was the tipping point, at least the way I tell it almost thirty years after...

Yea, who'd a thunk you could bake a cake with a light bulb?

People who live in Texas in the summer...you can bake a (shallow) cake on the sidewalk on a typical July/August day.

I believe it. I spent a summer in Houston once; every time I went outside I was drenched in sweat five minutes later. I was forever wanting to change clothes.

Teach a man to build a fire, he stays warm a few hours. Set a man on fire and he stays warm the rest of his life...

Whale kills trainer as horrified spectators watch
ORLANDO, Fla. – A SeaWorld killer whale seized a trainer in its jaws Wednesday and thrashed the woman around underwater, killing her in front of a horrified audience. It marked the third time the animal had been involved in a human death.
Distraught audience members were hustled out of the stadium immediately, and the park was closed.
Trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, was one of the park's most experienced. It was not clear if she drowned or died from the thrashing.

That's why they call them "Killer Wales."

"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale!"

Whatever you say, Khan!

Khan only recited the middle part of Ahab's speech: "No. No, you can't get away; 'from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.'"

His dad was Chekhov?

Yep.
Weird segue too, from post 2627.
