The Matt’n’Madrigal Show (from Firefly)
Matt:
Whoever brought it up first, could we please stop talking about it? I'm willing to forgo any suggestion that Simon might play for my team for the rest of the day in return for limiting his potential romantic interests to women who wouldn't bear him eleven-toed offspring with no chins. ;-)
Madrigal:
Well, we could switch to talking about how Mal had a certain sort of look on his face when he was talking about his mother.
Matt:
Runs screaming into the night...
Trudy:
Has anybody told Matt about Zoe and Wash being first cousins?
Matt:
Hey, these woods I'm running through screaming are in Arkansas, after all.
Madrigal:
Inara could be Mal's grandmother - for all we know companions are very good at keeping up a youthful appearance.
Matt:
This would certainly explain their scorching chemistry to date.
*************
Alibelle:
I need to get a job. Or I need to pick fights with all my friends so I don't have to go Christmas shopping.
BHP,
on the helpful household hints in Firefly:
It disturbs me that we have segued from Combat Tiddlywinks into Desserts of Death.
This was me, actually: Madigal: Has anybody told Matt about Zoe and Wash being first cousins?
I went back and fixed it, Trudy.
Sorry Trudy! (and thanks DX)
Burrell sets it up and ita spikes:
Burrell: Sigh. But think of how many more lovely young actors would be playing full frontal scenes if I had the ability to greenlight projects. Plus, more musicals.
ita: Song and schlong! I vote for Burrell.
JZ
I am exactly the kind of dork who would do something like, say, buy a packet of Christmas Peeps, notice that they were shaped like gingerbread men, and then find herself unable to stop saying things like "Yo, I got all my Peeps with me," "Peeps representing for Candyland, yo," and "Peeps in tha HOUSE, yo!" For, like, three hours.
David S:
I have personally watched the suburban raised JZ talk "street" to her peeps while my eyes rolled in my head like an odometer hitting 000000.

David S:
Emmett was in a play tonight. He had fairy wings and was in fact a fairy of some sort. The play was a mash of incoherent ideas cobbled together from management courses in conflict resolution, The Green Fairy Book and Dr. Seuss.

scrappy:
I love that story Billytea--it's kind of like a metaphor for what relationships are all about--you face unexpected obstacles from people close to you, you make do, you look for unexpected opportunities, and you end up happy and surrounded by Vikings.
edited to insert JZ peep rant per BHP's suggestion
Can we insert Jacqueline's mighty peeps riff above David's reply?
