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.

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.
Now here's a dive that you could probably identify as Betsy's even without attribution.

Betsy: Nabokov is as precious as a thing that is twee. Nabokov is as manly as a Fabergé dildo encrusted with moonstones.
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.
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.
FayJay: Also, LittleSisterJay sent miscellaneous nice bits & pieces from China, my favourite of which was arguably the bottle of moisturiser called Sod Milk. Sent, presumably, because she knew one of us would find it amusing. My mother and I laughed like drains. "How do you milk a sod?" she asked, to which I was obliged to reply that I had an anecdote about that from last New Year's Eve, but wasn't drunk enough to share it.
Am-Chau: Snerk! It may be that we should ship Sod Milk from the Buffista store, such are the porny possiblities of this thing.
What does it say on the label? "Can be rubbed into sensitive skin. No animals were harmed in the making of this product, though some evolved apes may have had fun*. Not for use by under 18s."
- And by fun, we mean...
FayJay: No, the label says:

Not that shrift makes us funnier.
Shrift makes everything funnier. She brings light and happiness to the entire world. Look how cheerful her coworkers are.
My favorite in five is very very simple and very very funny:
Jess PMoon: Lamé? Passé.
Steph L.: Snerké.
Emily: It's just... you can get used to any name. If you met someone who called himself Fairy Queen Yamamoto of the Mists, you'd be stifling a laugh at first. But after a couple of weeks of "Yo, Fairy Queen! Stop leaving the damn toilet seat up!" you'd barely even notice.
Shrift makes everything funnier.
Not least of all Coke machines.
