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.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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.

You missed billytea with the rbi:
I notice that you're apparently perfectly comfortable with testing on virgins.

We had plain grey squirrels in my hometown until some mushroom hunters brought some black ones home from Michigan with them. Within a few years there were black squirrels all over town. A few years later mutant squirrels with black bodies and grey tails replaced them all.
I don't go back much anymore.

In Natter, not classically that funny but I can't stop snerking. The date is today (17 December), by the way.
Billytea: It's also the date, in 1997, that a poll revealed 22% of American voters thought Santa was a Republican, 39% thought he was a Democrat and 13% regarded him as an Independent.
DX: Please tell me the other 26% told the pollster that he was a frelling idiot for asking such a moronic question in the first place.

Ignoring the disturbing millipede and anti-tiramisu talk.
billytea:
for me they don't get disturbing until combined.
Am-chau:
Millipede/tiramisu slash...
"Come back to bed, Milli, darling."
"Alright, then. God, I could drown in you."
"I love your little legs. So beautiful."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Amych:
Like many many servers everywhere, the ones we use here are named after hobbits... so when I just got an email bounced back to me with the message "took.foo.bar was unable to find a route to blah blah -- check DNS configuration", I got way too many giggles out of bellowing "FOOL of a Took!" at it. Because, really, not that good a joke.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Shawn, being persuasive, in Natter:
Santa is old and white. His employees are all male, and his wife stays at home. He retains a ridiculous amount of his own holdings to distribute as he wishes. His existence depends on a magical and overly optimistic notion of the laws of physics and private giving. His charity to the young of the world mostly depends on whether or not they are Christian, and if the rest of the year they are good or bad people. Despite the myth that Santa treats everyone equally, empirically we all know that the richest kids fare the best with Santa.
Santa is Republican.
