Aimée: Sometimes, I am so dumb, that dumb people are like, "Damn. Stupid."
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Blessings on her, then.
Hell yeah, it's for the Greater Good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This is fun:
meara: They called a bomb threat in over a week in advance??? That's very strange....
amych: Calling in the threat was on their to-do list and they didn't want to forget in the mad rush of actually planting the bomb?
Jacqueline: Okay, obviously that’s not funny at all, except for being fucking hysterical. God knows that if I were a mad bomber, I’d have to do it that way. Then they’d probably find my bomb, inert and un-detonated, with the wrong size batteries crammed into it wrong way round and a Post-It stuck to the top saying "1. Call in threat. 2. Wash capoeira pants. 3. CAT FOOD!!!!"

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Susan W: Any sentence that starts out with "The Texas Rangers entered a neonatal unit" should finish with a heartwarming tale of baseball players encouraging people during a tough time, not with law enforcement trying to track down representatives with dissenting views.
billytea: I have to be honest; any sentence that begins with "The Texas Rangers entered a neonatal unit" has already pretty much exceeded my sentential expectations.

If I only had a brain...
billytea: So they haven't got back to me on an offer. If they do, I'm going to attribute it to the aptitude testing. Now I can only hope that my duties will include completing sequences of coloured shapes.

I'm pretty sure I've gotten things on the BRQG that weren't in COMM, and that not everything in COMM makes it to the BRQG, is what I mean. Not that shrift makes us funnier.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Now here's a dive that you could probably identify as Betsy's even without attribution.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jesse, BWAH!!

That's what I figured. Shrift exercises her editorial eye so that mostly only funny stuff gets in. A mighty sieve is our Shrift.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Like a homosexual necrophiliac duck crushed underneath the wheels of the Hickmobile of Sexually Ambiguous Jealousy.
Dude, *you* ran over a duck!
In your hickmobile.
And the duck was probably screwed by another duck after you drove away!
Shrift: urband legend.
