Madrigal:

According to my first source of pregnancy information, my mother, morning sickness does not exist, nor do most symptoms of pregnancy. They're media lies. Labor does not hurt - it's merely discomfort because laziness results in muscle ache - it's just like how someone's arm would hurt if they tried to lift weights for the first time. If labor takes more than five hours, you're doing something very wrong. Pregnancies that run late are the result of negative attitudes. Some of these theories stem from her vocation as gym teacher, and the fact that if she didn't experience something, she reasoned that it must not exist. (And it is the family theory that Baby #6 adopted her bizarre position in utero just to spite her mother and require an "unnatural" c-section.)

In Natter:

Aimee: Of course, I have no idea if she is into pre-menopause because, well, how does one politely ask their mother that?

Ellen: This is why we need a Buffistas etiquette guide.

Chapter 10: "Hot in Herre?" Your Menopausal Mother and You.

Also, playing that on the radio when it hasn't broken 20 F in days is just mean.

Rio: You mean it was started by Buffistas? Because if so then WE ARE ALL GENIUSES.

Alibelle the COMMalicious, in Natter,

It creeps me out that, technically, I've lived much of my life according to the RR's ideal. I'm only comforted by the fact that, as far as I can tell, the majority of them have not.

Erin G in Angel, spoilery

I still don't feel the Connor vibe. But, hey, it's Cordy's (booty) call.

Kat:

What is it about information that people thinking if kids have it they will use it? God knows they have the information on how to put a comma in a sentence and they can't do that. What harm is there in telling them how their bodies work and how contraception works.

Spoilery for today's Angel:

Steph L.: Huh. If Big Rubber Satan showed up at my door, I'd wet myself.

Matt: Likely my last words on this earth would be "yeah, right. I can see the zipper."

Kristin in Leatherpants (not spoily)--

Can’t you just see it? It would be the best show. Ever.

INT. RALPH’S SUPERMARKET – NIGHT A long line of irritated customers wait to pay for their purchases. The line isn’t moving as a MAN argues loudly with the CHECKOUT CLERK.

Suddenly, ANGELUS swoops in and grabs the man roughly by the throat.

ANGELUS: You knew you didn’t have any cash when you got on the cash only line, didn’t you?

MAN: Um-I--I--

ANGELUS: Didn’t you?

MAN: Yes.

SNAP. CRACKLE. POP. Angelus snaps his neck like twig and clears the counter with a sweep of his arm. He grabs the carton of cigarettes from the debris and vanishes out the door.

CHECKOUT CLERK: Next!

PMM: Oh man, they SHOULD film that and show it every year.

A mega- dose from Dude:

Get a line on that drummer, and we can start the old band up again, now that would be cool. The LongEars in this Fellowship I've hooked up with could play the fiddle. With his bow, and My axe, we'd rock out all over.

So is it cool if this Fellowship dealie crashes on our way to the gig in Mordor? It'll be a lot easier than the pass, or the gap, and we can pack in some mead for the trip, and catch up & stuff. Lemme know, huh?

connie neil:

Celebrian ran afoul of Sauron, didn't she? Got captured?

Nutty:

I think "carried off" and wounded, and then she got into a snit and moved to California.

No wonder Elrond is so bitter!

Consuela:

I don't own a real machete. Someday I will, though.

thessaly:

I do! I do!

...Officially it's a Poetry Machete (from a friend's Full Contact Poetry shows), 'cause you'd be really surprised how much attention people pay when you're holding a sharp hunk of metal. Really.

ita:

some women buy shoes

Machetes rule! So much more multipurpose than your average katana or broadsword or rapier. Also reasonably easy to use two of them at once, and you can clear brush on your way to the carnage too.

(Note: I do think ita's current tag is worth including in the context.) _______

connie neil (re. some knife or other):

It was a wedding present from my hubby, sorry.

Sean K:

Well he's definately a keeper.

connie neil:

So far, so good. But he doesn't like it when I keep a knife on my side of the bed. Seems he woke up one night to find me gutting him in my sleep. I'm sure he made it up, but he said I showed good technique.

Sean K:

And he has a problem sleeping in chainmail jammies because...?

connie neil:

The jingling keeps us both awake? Plus they ride up terribly. Chainmail wedgies are to be avoided.

Sean K:

Hmm... Hadn't thought of that. Maybe some nice kevlar.

ita:

Kevlar's not so good for stopping blades though.

I've

Betsy Hanes Perry:

For that, you have krav.

Sean K:

(quoting ita) I've heard.

Yeah. Uh-huh. Heard. What's that red stuff on your hands?
