Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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".

Nutty: Also, he looks like Willie Nelson, if you were to starve Willie Nelson and then feed him a lemon.

Thanks for all the fish.

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.

Scrappy and PMM in Angel. Not really spoilery- just a whiff of spoiler on the air -but I'm whiting out just in case.

Scrappy: If Fred had been dating Riley, she would have said "looks like she likes her products Made in America."

PMM: Of Pure Potato Product!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Natter 7:

Jesse:

Fat does funny things. My father has this random bump on his forehead that's just a little lump of fat. Who knows why?

msbelle:

cause your dad has a fat forehead. has he tried Atkins?

Jesse:

He does not! The rest of him is fat, but his forehead is FINE. Except for the one lump. (Note that by FINE I mean A-OK, not like FOINE.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

There are vampire tires?

Epic, I don't think you've met Maisie J. Volkswagen before now. She's a fine old car, a skilled and staunch fighter, and generally on the side of the good, but she has these mood swings periodically. Goes all broody on me. Reads Sartre. At any moment, I expect to find her wearing leather pants.

The hyenas and I are just good friends.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

From Bitches:

askye:

My big fear was that the Second Coming would happen before I was old enough to do anything exciting. Or at all. I'm not sure what that says about me as a child, or even how I believed. But I always felt so guilty because I didn't want the world to end and Jesus to come back. I didn't care if I was going to go up to Heaven and be with all my family and whatnot. That wasn't the same as going to Australia and seeing koalas live and in person (my big driving desire when I was 8 yrs old). Or later when I had the same fear, the thought of being with God for all eternity didn't make me feel better when I worried that I wouldn't get to go to the Prom or college, or have grandkids, or go to Europe.

Deena:

Every time my dad preached about how ready he was for Jesus to come again, I would think, "Oh, sure YOU are. You've already had sex."
