1. Because some things are too good not to share.
2. Because someone had to transcribe this brilliance so I can start quoting it on a regular basis. Thank you, self.
3. If you don't already watch Parks and Rec, start. Now.
We are having Chicky Chicky Parm Parm tonight inspired by silly Tom's rant. Thanks for transcribing, I will also be working this in to my "at home" vocabulary, so the rest of the world doesn't think (or doesn't confirm) that I am nuts
