Jacqueline:
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."
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.
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.
Laura, in Buffy (not spoily)
I am completely comfortable with the level of obsession that allows me to watch and post tonight despite having already watched the episode twice yesterday.
My children know that life is more pleasant if mom is not disturbed during Buffy. They will be home from soccer practice about 8:30 and will quietly bathe and change for bed. Or else.
Katie M:
I'm told that I discovered Santa was a fake indepently at a young age - I don't remember this, but I don't ever remember believing in Santa so it must be so - by asking the mall Santa for a gift that I didn't ask my parents for and waiting to see if the gift that I only asked the dressed-up Santa for appeared. Which it did not.
You'd think I'd've made a good research scientist, but I grew up and discovered it annoyed me.
Dana:
Man, this is bigger than a Fortress. This is a whole Metropolis of Denial, patrolled by the Superman of LA LA LA.
Madrigal:
There's vegan jerky in the US. I don't think it's meant for eating so much as using an excuse to practice expressions of disbelief.
Ita, in Natter:
when you watch a guy configure Windows Explorer just like you do, it's hard not to be a little turned on.
Caroma, In Firefly:
I will NOT watch the Buffy until I balance my checkbook. I will NOT watch the Buffy until I balance my checkbook. I will NOT watch...
Aw, screw it. See ya in an hour.
In Natter:
Santa is Republican.
CASHMERE: I'm going to make sure my kids don't believe in them, either.
