Madrigal in Natter:
I stopped believing in the tooth fairy when I found out that other kids got stuff in exchange for the teeth. For us the tooth fairy was more like a garbage man, coming in early in the morning, banging against stuff and cursing and roughly extracting the material then stomping away. Or maybe hearing our father step on legos and Barbies was supposed to be the reward instead of money.
MM: Michigan Mosquitoes may very well be the Primal Evil of every culture ever.
Dana: Spoken like someone who didn't grow up in New Orleans. Hi, we're a swamp, and we don't really have winter. Our mosquitoes eat your mosquitoes for breakfast.

I got here first.
Madrigal [re. SR]:
Yes, she was hurt, and she wouldn't have been able to fight back as easily, but it's not like she was in traction and Spike had forgotten whether one blink meant yes or no.
connie:
Madrigal, that was not an image I needed.
BHP:
Okay, now I'm disturbed.
Madrigal:
Like John Waters film disturbed or Precious Moments Wedding Chapel disturbed?
John H:
Personally I'd put it around the "John Waters/David Lynch collaboration in a movie about a Precious Moments Wedding Chapel" mark...
BHP:
Starring Crispin Glover and Christopher Guest.
John H:
And the Olsen Twins.
Madrigal:

RL beat me to it. The whole thing.

I laid out typing with one hand as I ate my sandwich with the other.
I was sure someone was going to beat me to it, and my agonized slow don't-get-jelly-on-the-keyboard effort of typing would have been for nothing, and I would have felt silly, not that I don't feel silly most of the time.
There was a
good
reason for the triumph dance.
The Buffy episode "Seeing Red."
thessaly's recipe for evil (whitefonted cuz Buffy thread):
I've decided the FE looked in the back of 'Betty Crocker':
To Open the Manhole Cover of Hell:
1-1/2 Good-hearted short EveryMan brand schmucks (available via import from Mexico)
If you find your pantry short of short schmucks, you may substitute one of the following for 1/2 a schmuck:
6 young piglets (available at local farmers) or 1 Ho!Yay! EvilTechnoNerd (also available via import) or 1/2 Spike (coming soon to local markets everywhere)
I read too many cookbooks.
