Holy shit, my brain just went out in a shower of sparks. I'm fumbling around in the dark trying to find the fuse box. Shit! I just tripped over a basal ganglion.
Lydia: But you are a vampire. Spike: If I'm not, I'm gonna be pissed about drinking all that blood.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Back in the bad old days, I had my ninth graders choose and re-write a fairy tale. One student asked if he could use a thermonuclear device somewhere in the story*. Before I could say anything, another student chimed in with: "Well, that gives new meaning to the name 'Cinderella', doesn't it?"
*Unless something was truly warped or disturbing, I tried not to censor content too much in student assignments. The school where I taught was a fairly conservative (but not insanely so) Christian school. One girl, who was in the full throes of teen rebellion, asked if she could do her term paper on Aleister Crowley. "Sure," I said.
Pause.
"You know who he was, right?" she asked.
"Self-styled 'most evil man on Earth' and a big influence on Led Zeppelin. Speaking of which, Dean's doing his term paper on them, so you may want to share some sources," I replied.
I think she was expecting to get in trouble. The final paper included a rather graphic retelling of an incident involving a goat. I honestly think this girl was hoping/expecting to get suspended or expelled. IIRC, I think I pointed out that she used improper formatting for an extended quotation.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Everybody is Jesus' type.
See, now I got this whole "The Son of God is just a great big skanky ho" thing happenin'.
Like Peter and Luke are talking at a rockin' party in heaven as they jealously give Jesus and his latest angelic conquest the stink-eye. "Damn, he gets all the chicks. Must be the family connections."
Yup. The Holy Trinity is worse than the Kennedys.

You've passed the line from 'I like slash' to 'I'm addicted' when you find yourself lying in bed, unable to sleep, and instead of counting sheep you're inventing silly xover slash pairings.

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

Teppy had me in pain with this one:
At my college, St. Patrick's Day always fell during Spring Break. So the bars uptown started Green Beer Day on the Thursday before St. Patrick's Day. The bars opened at 5 a.m., and people would wait in line at 4 a.m.
I have NEVER gotten out of bed at 4 a.m. before or since. And I have NEVER been drunk by 6 a.m. before or since. I took an exam at 11:00 that morning, and I was still drunk. I remember seeing people from my class in the first bar at 5 a.m., and yelling across the bar, "Did you study???" And the classmate just held up a notebook. Heh.
My prof. told us, as he was passing out the exams, "I assume all of you are drunk. You know I'm not going to give you a break on this." And I piped up with "I'm going to ACE this exam, Dennis! I guarantee it."
I did, too. Which says something scary about my test-taking skills.
I hate every single one of the people driving SUVs who tailgated me on the way to work.
Heh. I was SUCH a bitch on the way to work this morning. At a merge in the highway, I started to get over to the left, b/c the left lane was empty, and I could continue driving like a bat out of hell. Tiny Sports Car in front of me decided to get over in front of me before I could accelerate. I slammed on my brakes, wished yet again that I had Dark!Willow's powers, and cut back over to the right lane.
Then the left lane backed up. Right on! So I sped up and got over into the left lane, in front of the backup. Somehow Tiny Sports Car did the same -- I assume he ducked into the right lane and got around the backup.
He got behind me, and tailgated me. At 80 mph. So I cleaned my windshield. Heh heh heh. It SUCKS to be doing 80 and have the car in front of you clean its windshield.
Just an FYI if anyone wants to be a jackass in traffic any time soon.
