Why I Love Fay, in the Fanfic Thread:
Michele T.: NaNoWriMo is 50K words.
FayJay: Ah. So I'd have hit the target if I'd just written that extra 49,990 words, then? I thought it was only 39,990 I was short.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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

Yeah, Teen Angel was a total nitwit. The song should have been called Teen Darwin.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And there's all those people who seriously love those songs, and get upset if one answers the question, "Where oh where can my baby be?" with, "On the short bus to hell for being stupid."

If I only had a brain...
Nutty: I have to say, existence of books in Middle-Earth notwitstanding, archiving procedures are pretty much of the suck.
- They let Gandalf into the Great Minas Tirith Archives without white gloves on.
- With a fricken open fire source in his hand.
- And let him touch actual historical documents that are 3000 years old (and by rights should have turned to dust the moment he touched them).
And, AND, he had food & drink with him!!
To say nothing of the complete lack of indexing and proper document preservation procedures. I ask you! Denethor, where are your priorities?!

Thanks for all the fish.

Vonnie K:
I have a couple of Tolkien geeks over to my house to watch the DVDs, and we are kind of fixated on finding out which book Aragorn is reading in the hall at Rivendell (when he has the conversion with Boromir re. the shards of Narsil.) We paused the DVD and squinted at the book cover, but we still can't make out what it says. Does anyone know?

Hecubus:
I don't think Jack and Diane died. I think he grew a mullet, drank too much Schlitz, got a beer belly and and got a crap job at Wal-Mart. Diane had a bad perm, two kids, a nasty divorce from Jack and now she smokes More cigarettes by the carton.

My dad took me to see Labryinth when it first came out. At the end of the movie, he turned to me and said "So if David Bowie appears to you as the Goblin King, I'm assuming you'll give him whatever relatives he asks you for." My dad knows me well.

In Bitches:
ita: I do have a tiara, but I can't wear it, since it sets with a comb, and I don't have enough hair for it.
Steph: Two words: duct. tape.
ita:One word: Ouch!
Steph: Wimp. You can take people kicking you in the HEAD, but not duct tape? Doesn't krav teach you how to deal with duct tape attacks??
ita: At orange belt level, the tape is still on the roll. Unsheathed duct tape is some scary stuff.
amych: Maybe krav focuses only on duct tape attacks that happen while you're both blindfolded and drunk?
ita: I wouldn't call that an attack so much as a come on.

Hi. This is Miracleman.
Aimee is, actually, in fact hugging a tin of crayons, rocking back and forth and hissing "They sorts you wrong, yesss, they puts you out of order my precioussessessesssss..."

Eowyn had a huge self-esteem problem that was further lowered by Grima Wormtongue's poisonous words. It can't help things when the one you want is smitten with an Elf.
