Great One Liners from True Blood

It's Saturday morning -- and most readers know I don't focus on serious subject matter over the weekends (well, sometimes not during the week either ;).

Pam: There's vampire in your cleavage.


Terry: Your hair is like a sunset after a bomb went off! Pretty.


Lafayette: Don't get it twisted hunny, I'm a survivor first, a capitalist second, and a whooole bunch-a otha' shit after that, but a hooka' dead last, so if I got even a Jew at an Al Qaeda pep rally shot at gettin' my black-ass outta this mutha' f***a', I'm takin' it; Now whatch' you wanna know?


Eric: "They're like humans but miniature. Teacup humans.


Pam: "That thing owes me a pair of shoes.
