Tom Scola's tagline, which just made me laugh and laugh:
"I" "am" "not" "ironic"
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

FayJay, in Bitches
Hi there, good people! I'm FayJay! You may recall me from previous posts, such as "pornpornpornknobspornpornvampirespornpornknobsporn", "Whoops, there go my knickers" and "But I just want to be Canadian", but the exigencies of Real Life and my inability to keep up with the whistlestop pace of this thread have made me an unfamiliar virtual face here Chez Bitchez. Um. But, as I was saying, Good evening one and all.

Hey! She's quoting me. I think I deserve a footnote.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it

Emily's Helpful Notes for Writers, #583:
Lathe? Lave? Two different words. You cannot "lathe" someone's skin. It's a noun. And even if you could? They would not have sex with you afterward.
Betsy Hanes Perry - And laving somebody's skin has inappropriate church resonances anyway, at least for those of us in Catholic-derived churches. I mean, I keep expecting there to be silver laver, and a heck of a lot of linen to launder.
Ms. Havisham - Well, you could lathe them down to an amusingly-shaped toy...
Madrigal Costello - Oh, see I was trying to think of what body part one could use for the lathing. I mean, there's one obvious one, but the spinning would tricky unless they were on a merry-go-round or sturdy lazy-susan.
Betsy Hanes Perry - I mean, I hear "his tongue laved her breast" and it's like hearing "her fear transubstantiated into desire".

FayJay, on the appeal of Stargate:
Teal'c is mine, I tell you, all mine. He just needs a nice English girl with a burning passion for apostrophes, a fascination with Ancient Egypt and a hardon for strapping, earnest & honourable chaps with broad shoulders and permanent sparkly eyeshadow.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Jen:
There really needs to be a musical genre called "apocalypso". Beautiful, lilting rhythms describing the end times--who wouldn't be hooked?
(PS. "Apocalypsi" is so wrong)

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
in Due South, somewhat in reference to Stargate:
SA: Now I have to become a large, buff black man who wears eyeshadow.
FayJay: Yes. Because then I would never ever stop licking you. Ever.

Good News For Beep Me: I've got a very good shot at getting published in a national magazine! Further details in "Great Write Way", this is just the attention-seeking behavior therapists used to warn me about. And you will not get rid of me over Turkey day, cause you guys are my most favorite homicide preventative.I mean, since we took the attorney off speed-dial.

Now tagless for your comfort.
lori in Buffy not spoilery in that it refers to cats and the word, lave:
When our cat Maceo does this, with his back foot raised straight up in the air as if he's raising his hand in class, we have this conversation:
Us: Who's licking their own ass?
Maceo: I am! I am!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Amyth on the writing process over in Smallville:
"Okay people! We need to accomplish the following things in this episode: We need to introduce a love interest for Lex. No, no a woman. Right. So that the audience remembers that Lex and Clark are just buddies. No, not that kind. Get with the program here! You may even want to make the love interest, well, interesting this time. People are starting to talk. Next, we need to show that Lex has a scary, violent streak. You know, with the whole supervillain future ahead of him. We have to work up to it. Right, sure, he can be violent in a sexy way, whatever, fine. Wait a minute! Who are you anyway? Are you one of the writers? Mark, call security, please. Thank you. Okay, where were we? Right, love interest (hetero), sexy violence. Good. Next, we need for Gabe Sullivan to have a couple of lines, his agent's been on our asses. Yeah, don't worry about it, just give him The Pete Treatment, it'll be fine. Finally, we need to cast Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Yeah, I know, I know. Look, I really can't get into the details, let me just say that a favor was owed, and the less you know, the better for your own safety. So, we deal.
"So--we done here? Okay, good. Now, whoever draws the shortest straw from my hand here has to write the thing. Now, c'mon, no whining, we agreed this was the best way. Good, good. I'm sorry, what was that? A-plot? Like I care. Make that Taylor-Thomas kid some kind of meteor freak--duh! And, you know, Clark has to save whoever's left, or whatever. Who's left? Glover's doing theater. Oh yeah, Lana and Chloe! Yeah, he saves both of them! I don't know, figure it out. Oh yeah, and Clark's, um, ambivalent this week. Think you can throw that in? About what? About everything!!! We've got a big budget! We can pay for ambivalence!
"No more questions? Good. You've got 20--no, sorry 18 minutes. Chop chop!"
