First post.

Well, a lot of posts won't, but I'm gonna try and make my first post match the blog name, out of context. So here's some random stuff I've said, heard somebody else say, or heard on a tv show taken out of context (note that I try to make these quotes exact)
  • Shoot that toaster right now or I'll kill your family
  • A sqwonk (yes, that's how its spelled) is an animal native to South Africa with a koala's head, a lion's body, the legs of a snake, a narwhal horn for its tail.
  • Man, that girl is really mad at that cheese!
  • Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling. (Okay, so this isn't an out of context thing, it was just taken from a website. I just thought I'd add it)
I might add some more stuff later.
