River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Yeah, I kind of got that whole katana debate going. My apologies. The katana's more of a samurai weapon, particularly when paired with the wakizashi. So really, Hiro Protagonit would just own the whole lot of 'em.

The Trickster always wins.

Not always - the trickster often plays the role of the fool as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought Bill Sienkiewicz just couldn't draw curves.

Yeah, he's sure had a problem with that in the past.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

On the plus side, if any of those ninjas want to grill kabobs after the fight with Elektra...

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

Yep. Like when the rabbit has to race the tortoise. Turtles beat rabbits, it's a law.

Kathy Astrom:

How much smarm could a marmot snark if a marmot could snark smarm?

While three is a good answer, it does not take into consideration the quality of the snark, and the tenacity of the smarm. There are also directional, language and timing issues (d+lxt= amount of snark smarmed [ASS]) to be answered before the ASS can be precisely determined.

If I only had a brain...

Did you just differentiate with regard to snark?

Adrian Pasdar: bringing hot (and ambiguously gay) to a new level since Top Gun.

My head hurts.

*whimpers*

Other than that, I got nuthin', except I think the pirates ran away with the rum.

Isn't that the way it always goes? But I have the pirate's eggnog...oh...depressing thought...no more eggnog for another year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think the pirates ran away with the rum.

The little dog laughed to see such sport.
