I'm embarrassed to know this, but I wanted to save librarians from the insult. she's not a librarian, she works in a bookstore.
Alas, Stacked is set in a bookstore. (< - works in a real bookstore)
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I was totally going to link that article. Though more in the vein of "this is regular front-of-section human interest story here in SF." Note the Non-Judginess!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

"I so wanna storm out on you right now, but if I stand up, I'll fall." --Jaye
Allyson, I just wanna say, that was a damn fine article. It addresses everything that draws me to the Rebecca character, and explains to the critics who in my eyes are missing the point, why she's played the way she is by Rachel, and why it's such a great performance.
Instead of fuming at my screen and yelling, I'm gonna point all the negative people to your article. Thanks for being so articulate. I'm in it for her journey, too. Big fan of journeys, I am.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
"Web finds Paul useful because he's beyond reproach," explains Minear. "He's sort of like the Exley character, but not so easily corruptible."
I had to read that a couple times before I realized he was still talking about L.A. Confidential. I thought he meant the author Frederick Exley (A Fan's Notes), who was eminently corruptible, whose corruption was central to what little fame he had, and I was very confused. But not anymore. At least not about that.
