please refrain from smoking pot for at least a few hours before the presentation.
I so wish Hil had waited until he end of the stoner's presentation and simply snarled, "You fucking pot-head!"
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Theodosia, out of context in Natter:
I'm available for short-term gigs as the Evil Devil That Sits On Your Shoulder. The teeny pitchfork is extra, alas.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Whitefonted for possible Angel current seasons spoilers.
Step L. All Angel needs to do is work out his daddy issues and everything will be fine!!!!! Gag. And then he'll snack on Connor.
Billytea: See, while this wouldn't actually get rid of his daddy issues, it would allow him to combine them with his guilt issues into a single anxiety plan, quite possibly with a lower rate of brooding.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it
Theo: Everytime somebody says something like "No worries!" or "What could possibly go wrong?" or "It'll be a snap!", somewhere a sinister chord is thunked on the cosmic keyboard....

If I only had a brain...
Nutty: "Toll-keen" is how he said it when he was alive, and how the Beowulf scholars I know say it. I said "toll-kin" till I found this out, and then decided I would really hate it if after I died people called me Nooty.
sumi: Nutty, what if the people calling you Nooty were mostly Sean Bean?
Nutty: Well, I'd be dead, so I wouldn't be around to enjoy it. And I'm just compulsive enough that I would follow him around correcting him.
I mean, it's a name. Okay, not my name. It's a pseud.

In Literary:
Connie N: In the old, old days, emendatons and margin jottings were considered a standard practice.
BHP: And book collectors get really excited by, say, Swedenborg's copy of the Bible with "As if!" "No way!" written in the margins.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Elena:
I like the image of the stake dropping to the ground as the final shot.
amych:
Argh! No! Anything but that -- not that it isn't a lovely image. It's just that I haven't yet gotten over the fact that I got a flat tire the other day by running over a piece of wood, of all things. Made no sense to me at all, until I realized that my tire had been staked. I'm surprised the whole car didn't instantly turn to dust.

BHP quoting billytea: Bec's bought up ten tins of tuna
BHP: What? No behavioral or evolutionary news on the mating patterns of tuna in cans?
I'm disappointed.
billytea: Gosh. Imagine my chagrin. Bear in mind that canning and selling ichtheous mating activity has so far proven to be a marketing flop. ("Sealed for their privacy")
