I put on the boots and kicked some monster ass.
running scary how-you-feel
I know how you feel," I said. "You run into something you totally don't get, and it's scary as hell. But once you learn something about it, it gets easier to handle. Knowledge counters fear. It always has.
pain two important
Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you're alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another.
laughter eye two
As in 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'?" The skull howled with laughter. "You just got your ass handed to you by a nursery tale?""I wouldn't say they handed me my ass," I said.Bob was nearly strangling on his laughter, and given that he had no lungs it seemed gratuitous somehow.

dinosaurs call-me fairs
Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?

Bring it, Darth Bathrobe!
religious long mouths
See? This is why I'm not religious. I couldn't possibly keep my mouth shut long enough to get along with everyone else.
confused sweat numbers
Rule number one of the wizarding business. Never let them see you sweat. People expect us to know things. It can be a big advantage. Don’t screw it up by looking like you’re as confused as everyone else. Bad for the image.

Vanity, thy name is vampire.
giving political choices
All power is the same. Magic. Physical strength. Economic strength. Political strength. It all serves a single purpose-it gives its possessor a broader spectrum of choices. It creates alternative courses of action.
