Nutty re: home decorating, in Natter.
There's nothing creepier than trying to pee into a black toilet. Except maybe the textured cheetah black-on-black wallpaper, with occasional yellow eyes staring out at you while you try to pee.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Angus in Natter:
To me, "Changing Rooms" (which is what it's called in Australia), is a fable about gay man/straight man relationships. It's all designer queens with no understanding of practical possibilities cajoling cute straight handymen into making their bizarre whims real. I love it.

I love that the word Bridezilla has been used enough to pass into popular culture. Plus, y'know, the visual of of a 30 story monster in a wedding dress growling "I SAID PINK TRIM AND ROSES!!!" and then kicking over the rotunda dome of Congress.

Allyson and billytea in "Buffy" (sort of spoilerish for this season):
Buffy's job is to bend every situation to an opportunity to talk about herself, and how she's not fucking Spike, no way no how, exept the part where she constantly thinks about it.
So you're saying that she is in fact Ally McBeal?

Schmoker in Buffy re: comparing this season to last (minorly spoilery maybe):
Season 7 so far is just one giant Death Star Blueprints argument between Andrew and Johnathan

They always say that stories take on a life of their own. Mine is apparently a big slut and will run away with whoever wants to throw their favorite hunky guy in it.

Maybe I'm all confused about Edward the Seventh -- which one was he? What was his time period? I know all about Edward the Eighth of course. he's the abdication guy, right? Married some lady called Marge Simpson.

Teppy, in Bitches:
I wanted to remember to pull out the (many) bridesmaid dresses I have and take them to a consignment store, b/c why not get $$ for them? Because I am SO not going to wear them again. (There's a wedding/formal dress consignment shop by my office.) To conserve handspace, I wrote "w.dresses" on my hand. Some stranger on the elevator at work looked at my hand and, all perky, asked "Going shopping for a new dress?"
I pointed to the "w" and said "That stands for 'wedding dresses.' I've been married twice and haven't been able to part with the dresses. But I'm going to take them to a consignment shop and sell them so I can pay for the second divorce."
Seriously. Hand to God, I said that. Nosy troll.
