BHP, on the helpful household hints in Firefly:
It disturbs me that we have segued from Combat Tiddlywinks into Desserts of Death.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

But the chances of my mom voluntarily putting any portion of her actual person in physical contact with any portion of my dad’s actual person are such that if you put them up against none, none would start to look like a terrifyingly large number.

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I went back and fixed it, Trudy.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it

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.

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.

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.

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.
