I know it's declasse to quote oneself in COMM, but I'm just the set-up.

The wet TW was really funny! Oh look....nipples!

I wonder if there was a fluffer.

Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Shawn in Smallville (whitefonted just in case):
I was too busy marvelling at how, yet again, Clark is not responsible for the deaths of his enemies. He's like freaking Magoo.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think my parents' motto was "We are like unto the mighty ocean, our children the sponges that dwell therein".
The kids' motto was "Are you going to eat that?"

And another from billytea:
erinaceous: Oh god I am so inspired. Billytea, how does one become an actuary?
Without, you know, doing any actual MATH.
billytea: Oh god I am so inspired. Billytea, how does one become an actuary?
Well, first you--
Without, you know, doing any actual MATH.
Ok, that gets a bit trickier. Hmmm. Here's what I recommend you do.
1. Go to your local cinema. Buy a ticket for About Schmidt. Take notes about how to behave like an actuary.
2. Return to your local cinema. Buy a ticket for Catch Me If You Can. Take notes on how to outwit Tom Hanks.
3. Compare notes. Construct a persona halfway between Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio. Most importantly, ensure the persona's age is between Jack Nicholson's and Leonardo DiCaprio's.
4. Get a job in a country with remarkably lax corporate governance. (No, laxer than the US.)
5. Sit back and watch the zlotys roll in.

Candy: I sat in front of about 3 or 4 early 20-something young ladies who all were talking about that viewing being their 7th. I also learned all about their starvation dieting techniques.

So like...Jamie Kellner and the WB? That's going to take a lotta Hail Marys.
CNN Headline News: This morning our bureaus in Boston, Chicago, Brooklyn, East L.A., New Orleans, Dublin, Madrid, and Rome, have received multiple reports that Roman Catholics all over are waking up to find their rosary beads missing. On mirrors in each home, written in bright red lipstick were the words, "You Can't Take the Sky From Me."
Police suspect a cult is at work and have not ruled out the Raelians. More on this story as it breaks.

Elena, in the holiday thread:
That's funny. I always thought that if Trudy ever took one for the team, it would have been sex.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Trudy replies:
If it were sex I took for the team it would be more than one.
