Ple, in Firefly, on people asking for deaths (of various characters, or just in general):
You guys, death isn't Mad Dog 20/20 to just whip out for a thrill. Death's a fine wine, dark and red and bitter and intoxicating. It's Valhrona, not Hershey's, Titian, not Kincaid.
Sheesh.
On John Doe in Natter:
PMM
They are making the mistake of watching John Slow.
Burrell
I think it should be called John D'oh!
I'll do the killin' 'round here, if you don't mind.

Allyson:
I hate John Doe. They are playing "Behind Blue Eyes," to drive home that no one knows what it's like to be the bad man, the sad man, the man that spews trivia all fucking day and doesn't know who he is and no one cares who he is because obviously no one is looking for my sorry no longer naked ass, behind blue eyes.
Edit: aw, crap. A.S. too fast.
DX:
if you took a five kilogram anti-raccoon and tossed it into a reactor with a regular five kilo raccoon, the resulting annihilation of the two raccoons would provide about 20 trillion Kcal of energy, which is the equivalent to the caloric content of 100 billion twinkies, or of a single 6.5 billion pound twinkie.
That's one big twinkie.
Is that all something DX said? Or is there a difference between the quoted and non-quoted text?
DX said the stuff about the raccoons and the kilocals of energy. I was a wiseass and added the thing from Ghostbusters.
Because twinkies are cool. Or Ghostbusters is.
Re Firefly's "hundreds of planets in the solar system" thing:
I think the conflicting stories on the astrophysics boil down to something like: "We don't know anything about astronomy. There are some planets. They are distributed in whatever way you would like to imagine that makes sense. Please watch our show."
....Aaargh! Who said this? Who said it? Damn. Sorry. Somebody smart.
Fay, it was TomW. Who is very smart and funny.
