Da American military budget is larger than most of da other government budgets combined, yet da common enlisted man is struggling financially, so it would appear dat there are a lot of porkupines in da higher ranks!

Get the porkupinemug. A cutting-edge-technology terrain-surveying system that measures how many pathological liars exists in a given area. Since the target-blips all look the same on the machine's display-screen and therefore cannot be differentiated from one another, however, this system is actually quite ineffective at determining specifically which people to watch out for as being truly dangerous, especially as you travel into areas with higher populations of sport-fishermen, lawyers, politicians, used-car salesman, Bible-thumpers, etc.
If an evenly-distributed few of the vast crowds who were watching the Emperor's procession had employed hand-held LieDAR systems just as soon as The Emperor had started parading down the main street while "wearing his new clothes", these reliable-technology-aided individuals could have seen for sure that everyone else was actually just fibbing about being able to see the foolish Monarch's magnificent panoply, plus, of course, they's also know for certain that their own eyes were not, in fact, playing tricks on them, either. These "vindicated skeptics" could therefore have just loudly reassured everyone else in the surrounding multitudes that their being able to see nothing but a naked fat guy ambling down the main street looking like a total jackass was in reality **totally normal**... in other words, the Emperor really and truly WAS galumphing along the avenue "sans stitches", and so everyone could then have hastily stopped all the pompous foolishness --- and possibly also caught those two scheming shifty-eyed "dream-weavers" ('cuz dreams were, in fact, da only thing dat these two swindlers truly knew how to weave) before they got too far away --- and done so long before the Innocent Little Boy finally "broke the spell" with his "shockingly-impertinent tongue" when he casually blurted out to everyone around him about the Emperor's being in his birthday-suit.

As much damage as Randall "Tex" Cobb's grumpy-ruffian character caused to da Animal Advocate's prized muscle-car, it's likely dat Ace Venturi had several days' worth of "patchin' 'n' paintin'" to perform after da famous daredevil detective got back from his dog-retrieving mission.

Get the Ace Venturimug. Refers to comparatively short intervals of labor that you perform in one of two situations:
(1) Where you are dreading an impending "big job" that involves strenuous and/or disgusting labor, and so you perform a less-disagreeable task beforehand to sort of "break yourself in gently" so that the upcoming drudgery won't be such a traumatic shock to your mind and body.
(2) Where a necessary task is tiring, discouraging, boring, aggravating, etc., and so you would much rather play video games or surf the Web, instead of performing said menial torture. So what you do is to "compromise" --- you do indeed go ahead and push the "power" button on your computer or PlayStation, but then you go off and perform some of the disagreeable task while your entertainment-equipment is booting up; you would still have to wait those few minutes before beginning your fun with the equipment, anyway, and so it doesn't feel quite so "yucky" to hammer away at the exhausting ordeal for those same few minutes; it also makes you feel more productive during that period than just numbly twiddling your thumbs while waiting for your equipment to be ready to use.

As a physically/mentally-infirm bachelor living alone, I find that warm-up work is a real life-saver for many necessary tasks that I might otherwise find excessively discouraging or exhausting, such as hanging out clothes on the line or cleaning up around the yard. I also often Swiss-cheese the job --- working a little of the chore, then taking a break to play on the computer for a few, then going back to tackle the cranky task for a little longer, then checking out a few more humorous/cute Facebook posts, and so on.
