Madrigal:
I just went to a sort of "Velvet Goldmine"/"Gods and Monsters" sort of place. It's fun there.
Some people juggle geese!

If I only had a brain...
Calli: Heh heh. Sounds like the supposed "crisper" drawers in my old fridge .
Cashmere: I guess calling these drawers "the rotter", which is what really happens in there, wasn't such a good sell.

If I only had a brain...
Billytea: I have fallen off an exercise ball, and 'safe' is not necessarily the first adjective that would have occurred to me.
ita: Have you compared it to falling off conventional chairs?
billytea: Yep. I have found there to be much more control in the latter case.
ita: I'm interested in your technique. I've found that with a ball it's more like rotating, less like falling, and just flows right into a backward roll.
Yes, I did just validate that.
Penny: Hey, I'm falling off my exercise ball right now. . .
Billytea: More flailing (I think this probably goes without saying, and incidentally I have in the past won games of squash because my opponent was laughing too hard to see straight by the end of it), and less ability to translate "Oh, crap, the coffee table!" into a coherent plan of action.
ita: Hmm. This I cannot speak on. From normal chairs I just expect to hit my head and be done with it.

Betsy: Full frontal nudity might actually have redeemed Star Wars Episode I.

Hec:
It's just like John Donne, really. He started by writing poems about sex that were about God. Then he wrote poems about God that were about sex. Just insert "throbbing cock" every time Prince refers to his "lord and savior" and all the songs work exactly the same.

Betsy, the "Unknown Buffista" from post #1845 is Calli.
Jesse in Natter:
There, see?! Forget about the Buffista group marriage -- it's all about the Buffista family trade-off.
Teppy in Natter (yup, I'm pretending I'm catching up):
And I must be right, because of all the capital letters I used.

A couple of gems from 'Dude':
connie neil: I always giggle a little at the name Shadowfax.
Fay: I find myself, now, thinking it's the sort of office equipment they have in Mordor. And that Voldemort would like to have, if only he were badass enough.
~~~~~
And Fay again, on how they might shoot a scene from the books:
Fay: it's packed with angsty nekkid Frodo. Do you suppose we'll actually get angsty nekkid Elijah?
The volume of fic is going to be just huger than huge. Oliphantine.

Anybody got any spare initiative laying around? Maybe some gumption? Willpower?

I might be able to do gumption. I think we still have a little left in the tub under the sink.

MechaKrelboyne, from Dude:
If you know anyone who's having Hobbit Identification problems (But not the Kind where they're checking their own feet, which I can't help with), then here's how.
If the hobbit you're looking at onscreen at any given moment has figured out what's going on around them, it's more likely than not Frodo.
If the hobbit is figuring out what's going on this very second as you watch, you're looking at Merry.
If you're looking at a clueless hobbit, you're looking at Pippen.
If he's carrying pots, he's Sam.
