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"?
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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

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?

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!]

Angus: I like how Amazon.com specify that you can get "Clean Underwear from Amazon's Target Store". I suppose for dirty underwear, you need to go to Amazon's Fetish Store.
