Allyson:

Jon, you're trying to apply reason and logic to fandom. You will only hurt yourself and others in the attempt. Just step away from the tinfoil hats.

The above was Kristen.

Damn... they look so much alike?

I think I'll let my shame stand. t hangs head

From Bitches:

DavidS :

There should be a team of superheroes called Heather's Ex-Lovers.

Heather Alayne :

They would mostly be supervillains. There could be a few super heroes, like Favorite Ex- with pleasingly bulging arms and rough hands. "The Lone Liberal"- with progressive views sure to scare the shit out of your upper middle class parents, and "The Bass Player" and "The Shakespearian Actor" complete with mind-opening interests and snark factor.

Steph L:

My Mom decided to talk about premarital sex -- in a general way; we were snarking on the freak-ass church and their utter horror of premarital sex -- and actually made me spit out my tea.

Mom: "I just don't think God cares that much about 2 people having sex."

Me: "Nah, in the big scheme of things, He's got bigger things to do."

Mom: "Really. If it's 2 people, who care about each other, then what's the big deal? It's not like Sodom and Gomorrah." [pause] "Now, THAT was fucked up."

< cue daughter spitting tea all over the loveseat>

they look so much alike?

*snerkity*

Any excuse in a storm. Or a cold snap, or whatever. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Holli and Shawn on Lara Flynn Boyle:

Gah! It's like every nightmare Degas ever had.

BWAH! Even SJP is kinda going, "whoa, you're on your own, honey."

billytea:

True story: one time while still in freak-ass church we're in Tasmania and driving to services, while listening to Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell. So they have a parking attendant to tell us where to go (so to speak), so I wind down the window, and while doing so I figure this probably isn't the most appropriate music to be playing and go for the radio to turn it down. My aim's off, and instead I turn it up to full volume. As it happens, Mr Loaf isn't singing at the moment, and instead we get him saying "Goddamn it Daddy! You know I love you. But you've got a HELLUVA LOT TO LEARN ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL!!"

Nothing like a good entrance.

In reaction to an article about a new Sci-Fi show, Battlestar Galactica which will be like no other space show *eye roll* {see thread for details on how derivative it is, not only of Firefly (no sound in space, no superheros)}

From a character summary:

Adama bitterly drinks from the cup of surrender

Dana:

The fuck? Who writes this crap?

I'm going to start phrasing everything like this. "Dana bitterly drinks from the cup of reality when she is forced to actually work for a living instead of sitting around and being snarky." "Dana bitterly drinks from the cup of sleep when her eyelids get droopy." "Dana bitterly drinks from the cup of hatred when her new coworker remains unfired."

billytea:

Dana's bitterly drinking from the cup of reality right now!

Holli:

...and it's not so fucking great. Hence the bitterness.

Dana:

The cup of reality sucks. IJS. Tastes kinda like rancid cough syrup.

MechaKrelboyne:

Hmmm. I always found the reality more bitter than the actual cup.

tralfamadore2001:

<dances>

Ignore me, I'm just celebrating my finally getting the right now! deal. I am understanding the joke RIGHT NOW!

<dances some more>

Jon B.

So you read the FAQ, then?

Noumenon

Hmmm. I always found the reality more bitter than the actual cup. [quoting Mecha]

Maybe you are thinking that reality comes in a cup like coffee. On the contrary, the bitter cup of reality is something reality began to wear to protect itself from the bitter groin injuries of reality. Noumenon bitterly drinks from the cup of reality only because the alternative cup of reality TV is even worse.

Exclamation points can be funny:

Nou in "Dude":

He has a lot of exclamation points in the books

And in nice coincidence, Tim, in "Firefly":

!!!!!!!!!!! oh, and !
