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....
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

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.

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")

There are vampire tires?
There are vampire cars, tires, major household appliances, and sadly, even houses. They all suck.

Betsy in Dude...
I just walked past building security. They had a sign saying "You must surrender your precious badge" and I immediately grabbed it and hunched over, saying "My preciousss! Mine!"
I was quite disappointed to find the "c" was actually a "v".

Mostly, advertisers like insecure people. Reality Shows are populated almost exclusively with insecure people, in order to draw insecure viewers. Why? Because it's easier to convince insecure people that they smell bad.
