On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

[BTW, are we whitefonting for Firefly spoilers here?]

billytea: But, but... westerns happened a long time ago! And space things happen a long time in the future! They have no business bearing lovechildren! none at all!

Feh. In my day, kids damn well respected the space-time continuum.

PMM: Cowboys in the space-time continuum?

ita: And this is their sofa.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

TomW:

I think the conflicting stories on the astrophysics boil down to something like: "We don't know anything about astronomy. There are some planets. They are distributed in whatever way you would like to imagine that makes sense. Please watch our show."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

John H:

And our marketing people seem always to want to set up internet access, so people can look at our websites, but they also seem always to want to do it in some kind of tent or caravan or truck. Then they ask me why the connections speed is so lame and our sites look bad as a result. This will now be the fourth year in a row I've told them "Because we're in a tent! The nearest phone outlet is half a mile away, through those trees and so we had to use half a mile of cable to connect to it. Birds are sitting on the wire! It passes over three hot dog stands, under the bleachers of the stadium and past a radio station doing a live broadcast".

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Meara: Power? Is THAT what they're calling horniness these days?

Jess PMoon: And we know from the Mustache of Christmas Past that vampire hair can grow.

Nora Deirdre: Ah! People repress things for a *reason*, Jessica!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

We're going to have to start a promotional drive for skipping and skimming. Miracleman and billytea will be encouraged to post directly to COMM so people won't look through Natter for their posts. I can give up reading The Quotable Buffy for Lent.

Nutty, in Buffy (but non-spoilery): I wouldn't be sorry for having saved the world, even if I had to mow down a conga line of grandmas.

Daniel in Buffy1 (having nothing to do with the premiere):

Some people call him a Space Pirate
Some call him the vampire of love
Some people call him William (wolf whistle)
Cause he speaks of the effulgence of love...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Noumenon, in reaction to our possibly exceeding our bandwidth:

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

In Buffy, but not spoilery:

Madrigal: It's very hard to claim a gas leak when twenty students are calling 911 to report flaming trolls.

Miracleman: Okay, I just imagined a horde of trolls dressed in bright colors snapping their fingers and goingn "Fffaaaaaaabbbulous!"

Theodosia: Olaf was in fact one of the very few butch trolls.
