Snarking in Angel:
Unknown: There is no nuance, or menace, in platform shoes.
Betsy: Tell it to Elton John.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
(The unknown there is Allyson, I think.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
New lows in programming, from Firefly:
ita: Once you have a female spy, you're either going to have a male or a female handler. There aren't many options.
Allyson: I hear that's the premise of the new Mr. Ed series. The horse is going to be the handler for the female spy. They eventually fall in love, of course of course.
Sue: The Mr. Ed & Catherine The Great Show? He's a talking horse. She rules Russia with an iron fist. Together they commit unspeakable acts AND fight crime!!

I think I still am a conservative deep down - at least by global standards - but something about the Bush Dynasty gets under my fingernails like so much bamboo.
Hee. "Eaten by pandas" would be such a surreal end to a Presidency.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Steph, in post 1776:
Rio has *ruined* me. I just got off IM with Trudy by saying "Good night, FUCKO!"
Billytea:
Nothing says "Declaration of Independence" quite so eloquently.

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
MechaKrelboyne:
Now see, I'm supposed to mock and revere? At the same time? Again with the pink? Glitter? Glitter?!?!!
This calls for more punctuation than I've ever used before ...

plasmo, in Natter:
Is anyone here subscribed to Tony Alessandra's self help emails "52 weeks - free!!", promoting his book? I don't know how I got on the list, but after the initial annoyance, they've become quite amusing. The titles are always long so you'll have one like "The best things in life aren't thin" which turns out to read "The best things in life aren't things". Very disapointing. The most recent mail is "Try delaying procrastination" - I don't think I'll open that one.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Nutty, in Buffy, on the relative cheese factor of certain movies (non-spoily):
Okay. Quick lesson for the cheese-impaired:
Dragons == cheese
Lucifer == cheese
Christopher Walken, especially if he's doing a tap-dance striptease atop a pool table == cheese *
Lustworthy critters unnecessarily taking off portions of their clothing == cheese
Watching a dying Michael Keaton get shaved != cheese.
* Exception to the Christopher Walken rule: The Deerslayer != cheese. Actually, The Deerslayer == nightmares.

Cindy in Natter:
I wish I was handy. A neighborhood woman taught me to knit when I was a child, but she never showed me how to tie anything off. I am only capable of making the world's longest scarf for punk-style people who'd like to leave the needle in the scarf.
The image it creates in my brain is priceless.

Bush has advocated hydrogen-power cars. Wouldn't they explode? (not very scientific.)
Cause I'm like picturing my hypothetical children getting all excited about the 2020 Hindenburg With the exploding third seat, from Chrysler.
