You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

An extended MM/Rio riff in Natter:

MM

Sarameg

This thread just went from frightening and outrageous to terrifying and just bad and wrong with post 6605.

Rio

*ahem*

I mean, awww....don't be scawed. There's sunshine and daffodils and cutesy wutesy widdle kittens wid dere cutesy wutesy adowable widdle kitten faces, yes there are.

Rio

I may be fucking adorable, but I am also very SCARY and MEAN. OK????? Like a RACCOON!!

MM

You eat trash and scream in the trees?

John H

OK I skipped and skimmed. Why are we all insulting Rio?

Rio

YEAH GOOD FUCKING QUESTION

(quoting) You eat trash and scream in the trees?

WHY ARE WE ALL INSULTING RIO?

MM

You haven't answered my question...

Rio

It's not trash, MM, it's abandoned treasure. And it's not screaming, it's byooootiful moooosic.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Re: USian afternoon CAPSLOCK silliness in Natter:

Theodosia:
I thought it was similar to one of those things where the cats gallop around the house with their tails all fluffed up. Only with capslocks.

Miracleman:
Now I'm trying to come up with an alphanumeric way to indicate that I am poinging sideways away from NOTHING WHATSOEVER and that my pupils are freakishly dilated to twice the size of my head.

It's a challenge. Maybe I need a different keyboard.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's some kind of celebrity wisdom, I'm sure of it...

Nobody

shrift in Firefly 2 and the context makes it better... (tiny - not plot spoiling spoiler whited out at end)

Dear Santa,

I hate to say this, but you have to take some of the blame for kids figuring out you're not real. I mean, jolly all the time? Red velvet suit? Lives at the North Pole?

Elves? Dude, we gotta talk about those elves. And Rudolph having a glowing red nose is patently ridiculous, Santa, even you have to admit that.

The flying sleigh is just stupid. Anybody with an Aerospace Engineering degree could tell you just how non-aerodynamic a sleigh is, not to mention the fact that 8 reindeer aren't going to give you enough horsepower to pull a sleigh weighted down with presents for children the world over. Why don't you lay off claiming that magic stuff, too? I mean, it only makes you look silly.

So here's my advice: buy a fleet of Concord jets, subcontract everything (and make sure those contractors sign them forms, yo), and go spend some quality time at your vacation home in the Bahamas with Mrs. Claus.

P.S. I want a Jayne action figure for Christmas, complete with *
Vera and a bowie knife accessory. *

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hey, you can be fast, or you can be pretty. Your choice.

flutters eyelashes. licks lips. takes breath and begins to shape double entendre. thinks better of it.

Re: USian afternoon CAPSLOCK silliness in Natter:

I'm really missing reading Natter now.

tagging this! With no context, and no credit, because I'm all evil that way.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Kathy: From Ebert's review:

Frodo, the nominal hero, spends much of his time peering over and around things, watching others decide his fate, and occasionally gazing significantly upon the Ring.

Does this man not understand ACTING?!! Jeez, with all the movies he has seen in his life, you think he would know that the best of all acting is in the eyes, and to follow what EW is doing, you have to look for it, but it's all there. Grrrrrr...

FayJay: Oh fer feck's sake. What would he make of Hamlet?

Hamlet, the nominal hero, spends much of his time peering at his mother and his step father, watching others decide his fate, and occasionally gazing significantly upon the skull of the old court jester.
