Da Calvin Act may permit ransom-seeking absconding with a stuffed bunny, but da oppositely-worded --- i.e., extortion-FORBIDDING --- Hobbs Act (or in this case, maybe it should be spelled, "Hobbes") is da one dat Susie violated by absconding with said stuffed tiger. Dunno if a court would deal particularly harshly with Susie for her breaking said latter law, however, since her actions were merely done in an effort to get her own plaything --- "Mr. Bun" --- back from da former law's greedy-opportunist creator.

What good ol' Joseph Robinette Jr. has been doing for da past decades, knowing dat he'd likely be Prez someday.
Maybe one can't criticize da famed Joey Robbie for "Biden his time" with high hopes for his political career --- I mean, heck --- just recently he was already second-in-command to Obama bin Laden, so it was hardly a stretch for him to think dat he might make top dog in a few years if he played his cards right.

It might have been wise for Doc Brown to be a trifle less libyaral in his efforts to obtain plutonium for his DeLorean time machine; besides, he was able to invent/obtain a garbage-recycling fusion-machine within a few years, anyway, asd so using this potentially-very-dangerous-in-multiple-ways (i.e., it is a super-hazardous material in and of itself, and getting access to some is a highly-risky business, as well, since the type of folks who would deal in such lethally-toxic materials would themselves likely be trigger-happy towards anyone who crossed them) substance would have been unnecessary within a short time, anyway.

What you say when someone begins wholeheartedly and enthusiastically agreeing with your point of view, but you would have thought that this particular person would not truly be willing to go along with your idea, and so you suspect that he is merely trying to put you in a better mood and is thus building up to saying, "But in spite of my sympathy for your position/situation, I still feel that..."
You: I feel that Klondike bars are the greatest thing since sliced bologna, so I think that every child should be allowed to eat at least one per day..
Parent: Oh, I agree with you --- they are super-delicious, fairly inexpensive, and an all-around ---
You: I sense a "but" coming here.

Or "you gotta pronounce it right" town --- to truly "talk Yankee" or "speak like a real Mainuh", you don't call it "BAR HARBOR" (by-da-dictionary speakers are looked at funny here) or "BAY HAYBUH" or "BUH HUHBUH" --- it's "BAAH HAAHBAH"!
Woolwich, Maine might also be jokingly called Maine's "sheep town", but I was referrin' to Baah Haahbah.

Describes something dat is indeed "da real McCoy", but makes people shaky 'n' quaky if they associate with it.
Some people have such super-strong feelings regarding religion dat they can even get violent or obnoxious when discussing/debating it, so it can be a really lejittermate topic to delve into very deeply.

1. A sedative that you use in a tranquilizer-dart to render a security-guard temporarily unconscious so that you can pass through his checkpoint.
2. A marijuana joint that you use to bribe said guard into letting your pass through said checkpoint.
2. A marijuana joint that you use to bribe said guard into letting your pass through said checkpoint.
If Option #2 fails because the guard abstains from recreational-drugs and thus is not interested in your offer, then you may need to resort to the "airborne" gateway drug described in Option #1.
