cereal again.
I'm catching up, see.
Calli:
I can't see the fun in agreeing with ones self, in public or otherwise. Being the person that I am, I rarely do so even in my own head. If I registered as "Illac" or something I'd probably end up fighting with myself.Calli: Shnictdoodle's latest work was brilliant!
Illac: Well, yeah, except for her inability to maintain consistant characterization.
Calli: It's called "character growth," nitwit.
Illac: "Character growth" or "New characters with old names"? You be the judge. Oh wait, you were. And you were wrong.
The inside of my head is like this more often than is probably healthy.

And one more:
Deena, summing up the Bitches. Can this be the next thread slug?
I love this! I can talk about hair, cool velvet dusters, tiaras, sexy teenage boys, porn, the Bible, metaphors, pain, farming and dad issues and cover them all with glitter.
Unrelatedly, FayJay:
Re: Amazon's recommendations. My own particular favourite is where they say "Customers who wear clothes like our clean underwear". One presumes that the naked customers aren't so fond of the clean underwear. And indeed that the clothing-wearers aren't so fond of Amazon's dirty underwear.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Buffistas are incapable of taking the piss.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Lizard, I'm glad you grabbed that Calli quote. I was going to bring it over but got distracted by a shiny object lying on the floor.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
(PS: concerning post 1934, I believe the first paragraph attributed to me was a quote from Deena.)

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
(but billytea, if we let it stand as yours, then no one has to realize that I got utterly lost in the conversation and went beyond armageddon after you'd already said that POST-armageddon didn't actually enter into what you were trying to say.)

If I only had a brain...
Shrift: And here's where I begin to realize my fascination with villains may have begun at a tender age when I figured out their action figures came with cooler toys...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Bureaucracy:
PaulJ: Crap. I'll be in my corner sulking.
Aimee: why crap?
PaulJ: Because I just posted a completely RTFM question, while having the particular M in question (the how-to page) right in front of me.
If we had micropayments for bandwidth, I'd be about 0.005 $ poorer right now.
Heh. And FWIW, Paul, after I think an entire year as a Buffista, I finally got round to asking why "Buffista" and not "Buffian" or something. And everyone was like, Sweetie, I hate to break it to you. RTFM. So, yeah. Happens to us all.

When we pedant, we do it all the way, and in groups. It's like we're baby Fowler's monkeys!
