erikaj in Natter:
It's crap, but it lasts forever. It's the American way.
And upon Fay asking her to tag it:
Thanks, Fay! Cause being a smartass about the land I love is also the American way, whether the guys in Washington appreciate it or not.
[Edited to add the American Way response]
Billytea, in 'Dude', about Merry/Pippen slash:
Hell, even the name - Merry Pippin - sounds like it should be a 15th century term for some age-rated village game of Hide the Thimble.
Dana, in Firefly
It's just that NCW is doing her best to surgically remove my sense of humor.
But I'm reading about naked Quidditch, so it's all okay.
We have so many funny things to say about LotR, it's unbeliveable!
Jon B (in Dude):
Reason #12423 why you folks have corrupted me: On the TiVo, there are currently a bunch of short bits on TTT. One of them is called "Get Merry With Pippin." My first thought was, "Oh dear lord, even my TiVo is getting all slashy."
Allyson, in Firefly:
David E. Kelly! Stop making television shows!
What?
He could be reading the thread.
Madrigal, on confessing to Bosses.
Sometimes confessing the minor stuff does end up helping, though some employers just use that to determine the newest scapegoat. I had one whackaloon that used the fact that I'd admitted to not installing a Cyrillic font correctly to blame me for a fax machine fire.
Madrigal, contemplating brine shrimp:
So maybe it was a good thing all ours were DOA, or maybe unDOA and they went around sucking the cytoplasm out of dinoflagellates every night when we weren't looking.
billytea, on seeing the HoYay:
I think it's like those Magic Eye pictures. If you stare at Smallville eps for long enough, at some point your eyes just blur a little and it all becomes starkly obvious.
After that, of course, you know the trick, and you start seeing the HoYay! everywhere. But for everyone else, romping hobbits still look perfectly innocent. And by 'everyone else', of course, I mean my mother.
Madrigal, in Firefly -
Maybe the phrase "wild Buffistas" should have something like Buffiphilic pornafoamili after it.
Ellen S., revelling in the season:
Furthermore, I now have two shiny new lip balms marked "Virgin" and "Slut". My favorite part is the small print which says "Laboratory Test on Sluts/Virgins". I feel like I should get a table next to the PETA woman to protest Testing on Sluts.
