Did you hear there's a new draft standard for controlling MRSA and other infections, especially in patients with persistent ulcers and bedsores?
Furthermore, the HSE have issued an urgent warning about all sat map systems sold in the last two years.
And there's several wormwood liqueurs sold which have a fairly hysterical reputation - most of which is entirely unjustified. But it is true that you shouldn't ever let it come into contact with your nasal passages or eyes.
I have a terrible problem! For many years I've been reading your column with great pleasure, along with several other advice columns - financial planning, Dan Savage, agony aunts of all kinds. But just recently I've started finding myself giving unsolicited tips to friends and acquaintances. I can't stop myself. I tell my maiden great-aunts about safe anonymous sex, my unemployed artist friends about balancing their investment portfolios, and my enthusiastically single roommate about seating weddings. Help!

Dear OO:
When you gaze too long into Dear Abby, Dear Abby gazes also into you.
Nope, sorry: even using the same wording, there's one other (it even has an image). And without using "gazes", there's at least another two. And that's without considering the "Abbess [verb]s into you" formulation.
The thing is, Nietzsche did write about an actual Abbess - St Hildegarde of Bingen - so it's quite an oldie offweb.

I may have just come up with something original.
And groan-worthy.
Win!

If something's worth doing, it's worth doing badly!
I hate myself. But I would do it again.

And the actual result. (Do a search for "abbess"; it's a little over halfway down the page.)
Aaaaarrrrggghhhh! Edited to fix HTML that fails harder than a bank bailout.

(The quote "If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." was in my head because it's in Watchmen. I haven't actually _read_ Nietzsche.)
