Aimee: I want a fairy tale thread like Sang Sacre but more fairy-ish.

BHP: But with dirigibles.

Aimee: YEAH!! And nekkid elf-pirates!! A Storytime Thread, if you will.

Kathy Astrom: Hi, Aimee! I don't know if you're still taking applications for positions in your Empire, but I wouldn't mind being chief book-buyer for the library. It means I can get all the advance readers, discard the bad ones and order at least one copy of the good ones, and multiples of those that I just know the Buffistas would all go wild over!

Aimee: Kathy, bookbuyer. Check. Do you need a pony?

Kathy: No, a tiger, preferably Bengal, but not an endangered one. There are no endangered animals in your empire, right?

Aimee: Kathy, you may have a tiger. There are some endangered animals, but we spend a lot of money on conservation and repopulation.

MM: I'm already the Grand Vizier, Phill. I have dibs on big hats, snake-headed staffs and treachery. I have the secret police ready to do my vilest bidding at any and all times. The harem...you can have. Enjoy. My wife won't let me. And the pony. Have at. I don't want to know what you would do with it, you dental-hygiene PERV, you.

And the cat. See above re: not wanting to know.

Phil: Fine, I'll settle for Grand Imperial Pontiac and Minister of Gettin' It On.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Poking through old threads on WX:

Erin Griggs:

I'd rather deal with the Giant Cro-Magnon Woman-Maker than the 15' Cock o' Death.

Phill:

And now you have the title of your memoirs.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

God, how I miss Erin.

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

Herah: I elect not to tell him we have lost a naked toddler

Annoying Battlestar Galactica Description: Our characters are living, breathing people with all the emotional complexity and contradictions present in quality dramas

ita: Yeah, but you won't have a whore.

Shawn: As much as I believe they will totally and completely revolutionize how dogfights are filmed by the addition of split screen, I ain't watching no show without the possibility of evil twins.

(again re: Battlestar Galactica in Firefly)

And

SLUT!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Speaking of evil twins, Rebecca Lizard puts some words in Hec's mouth in Sang Sacre:

"Well," he says, "I'd love to stay and talk, have an evil conversation with your variously evil selves, but I'm kind of in a hurry. You know. Great battle, matter of balance between good and evil, it occurs around these parts about every six months. Some towns have softball leagues...."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Burrell: I'm pretty adamant in my stance that, if you want to take someone with you, you should start by killing yourself and *then* see if you still want to kill the other person.

MechaKrelboyne: And here I thought I'd excised the Buffy movie from all space and time. I don't remember much of it, but it doesn't seem the kind of thing to play to his strengths. Now Blood of Heroes, there was a Rutger Hauer movie. Post Apocalyptic football using a dog skull.

Elena's Husband:

Post Apocalyptic football using a dog skull.

...To be fair, all of the pigs would be used for methane production, so it's unlikely anyone will be getting their skins.

MechaKrelboyne: Oh, very much so. Given their options, dog skull seems quite reasonable.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hil R.:

I hated Who Want to Be a Millionaire. I like fast-paced trivia shows. It drove me nuts to listen to everybody trying to puzzle out an answer. (Several of my friends told me that I wasn't allowed to watch that show with them anymore, because I'd start shouting, "You're an idiot! How can you not know that? And if you don't know it, just shut up, because you're not going to be able to figure it out! Either you know it or you don't, and you don't so you lose, and just get out of that chair and let's get to some more questions!" Um. I can get a bit over-involved.)
