This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

If I only had a brain...

Pmoon in Bitches, on the wonders of Internet shopping:

And, okay, my Amazon search for "kinky sex" turned up this:

See "kinky sex" on Page 14 of Boltz Steel Furniture-Steel Style - 2002 mail- order catalog -- Steel Furniture

[There wasn't any, btw.]

Thessaly in Natter:

Yoga is a Goodness ™ Now, instead of wanting to torture insurance agents to a slow, bleeding demise, I want to kill them quickly for the Good of Mankind.

Namaste, motherfucker. :)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Discussions of music in Natter:

Betsy:"There are precisely eleven of those songs for which I can call up a snatch of the tune."

Hec: "Did you count "Pussy Control"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. Snatch. Pussy. Heh.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

BHP: You know that "dance like nobody's watching" thing? I can't do it.

Holli: I can! Of course, then everyone starts trying to keep me from swallowing my tongue. I have fun anyway.

Burrell:

I am suddenly the Queen of Queasy. What is that about? And, more importantly, when will my reign end?

Rebecca Lizard, on the shitty treatment Firefly has received:

I love Joss.

I also have the urge to go throttle Fox executives. If I kill them, I can take their place, right? Or is that just for Sith lords?

I think I'm going to bed before my membership card in the White Trash Society is validated.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In BBaB:

John H: Just so you know, there isn't really an automatic conversion of bad HTML to ***, it's just that the unclosed quote swallows up everything on the page until it reaches another quote, and that just happened to be around the point where the Secret Celebrity Boyfriend Asterisks were.

Katie M: We have Secret Celebrity Boyfriend Asterisks?

See, I knew I was missing out by never going into programming. Of course, I also saved having to physically destroy any number of computers that weren't doing what I wanted them to, so I'm going to call it a net win.

Rebecca Lizard: Can some of the asterisks be Alyson Hannigan?

Noumenon: Yeah, like the asterisk I'd use when saying,

I haven't really been pursued by many desirable TV celebrities recently*

*except for Allyson Hannigan, and I don't really mind that.

Rebecca Lizard: She can't be your secret celebrity girlfriend, Nou, if you don't even spell her name right!

Noumenon: It's the Internet. It's caused me to spell "there" "their," after 24 years of doing it correctly, and now this. I see Allyson's name on the board every day, so it overwrote the correct spelling in my brain.

Rebecca Lizard: That's no excuse! I'm on the internet too, and I say it right.

Therefore, she is MINE.

I have impeccable logic.

Nattery goodness:

Theodesia: If you say amok (note spelling!) often enough, it loses all meaning.

erinaceous:This is my favorite linguistic concept. It's called 'semantic saturation.'

Surprisingly, it doesn't work for "fuck." Or I have never hit "often enough."

[edit: danke!]
