Context? Pshaw. Plei in Precious - what more do you need?
Okay, the Haldir Lives thong? Wrong on so many levels I stopped counting.

I didn't mean to! It was the pain, and perhaps a fever!
Noumenon, in Bureaucracy:
the White Font Thread would be totally easy to catch up in.
Michele T., in PPO:

[We focus in on SHRIFT, sitting, bent over with toil, at a computer desk. She has a hat on her head and a look of unspeakable sorrow in her heart.]
[The computer dings]
SHRIFT (blearily): Wha --- ?

[Come in closer to SHRIFT, clicking on her screen. Slowly she begins to smile. The orchestral music grows louder and triumphant.]
SHRIFT: HoYay!
[SHRIFT jumps out of her chair, pulls off her hat, and throws it in to the air. As the music turns into a celebratory waltz, she dances around the room, spinning and laughing.]
[FADE OUT]

OK, THAT one I'm stealing.
thessaly, in Literary (context? Who... oh, okay then. We were doing this whole Disc/LotR x-over thing. The 'pretty contest' is vs. Cheery):
The Elves in Discworld have the whole pretty-but-evil reputation so Legolas, transported through the Trousers of Time with Extra Quantum, wins the pretty contest and attempts to take over the Dancing Men...but Sam Vimes'll kill him if he tries anything.
