Nilly:
Labor stories look scarier in written English than they seem to be in spoken Hebrew. At least to me.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

We are very efficient with our summers here in Scotland, we can usually fit the whole thing into a single afternoon in July.

Billytea: Apparently there's been a survey done which found that women who were college educated were more likely to enjoy oral sex (both giving and receiving) than were high school dropouts. I can't help but feel there's a great pro-education marketing campaign in there somewhere.
Phill: Here at Yale, we don't prepare you for a blow JOB, but rather an entire blow career.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
billytea strikes again, in Natter 7.
Consuela: Why isn't "hermit" an acceptable lifestyle choice?
billytea: Does it matter? It's not like they're going to worry about the neighbours shunning them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Aimée: Alledgedly childless.

Phill: Tuneth thou in next time upon Sir Gerald the Springer

The Wolf, Ram, and Hart things in Pylea suggested to me that the "Senior Partners" have some sort of organized presence in every major dimension. Sort of like Starbucks.

Miracleman, on scruffy!Aragorn:
You think (desperately trying to swing this vaguely back on-topic) that all the elves would, like, mutter behind Aragorn's back? You know, being the ultra-cool dudes with the supersenses and all?
Like, Elrond and Legolas are in the corner during the Council...
Elrond: Aragorn will take you and the others to Mordor.
Legolas: Aragorn? You sure that's wise?
Elrond: He's the last line of Isildur. He will be king. Dude, it's epic! He has to go.
Legolas: Yeah, but...I mean...he's a great guy, you know I like him, never done anything to me, but...I think the orcs'll be able to track us, to be frank. I mean, dude...he reeks!
Elrond: Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. Look, don't be rude about it, but give him the, uh...we'll call it the Soap of, uh, of Galadriel. He'll dig on that.
Legolas: But what is it, really?
Elrond: It's Irish Spring, but see, I shaved the logo off...
