erikaj:
My dad used to put my name into "Alice's Restaurant" all the time. I loved it but I thought he wrote it which confused me later.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

If I only had a brain...
Commed not for the setup, but for the spike.
Me: I remember reading in college about this appalling study done on, I think, the Orkneys, where it became clear that female orgasm was damned near unknown, as was anything but male-superior sex. (The number of wives who'd ever had a husband put a month on their breast, for instance, was shockingly low.)
FayJay: ....a whole month? Holy cow, you Americans really do take foreplay seriously. Props to you.

In the Music thread:
Daisy: I'm surprised that no one here has mentioned Courtney Love being arrested in London.
Fred Pete: There was a story on the radio about that this morning. Basically, she was arrested for a ruckus with the first-class crew aboard a Virgin Airlines flight to London. The announcer then expressed shock at actually saying "Courtney Love," "class," and "Virgin" in the same sentence.

From Dude, Where's My Precious?
Jars: Ah, Judge Judy. Her word is law. And so my crisis is over. Is there anything she can't do? Apart from reach products on the high shelves?
Aimee: Bris. She can't do a bris.
MechaKrelboyne: Reach products on shelves of moderate height? Throw her little hammer at people? Figure Prominently in Slash?
Kathy Astrom: ....AAAAnd, we're back on topic.

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: Working on resume. How does one write, "gets money from deadbeats without use of smacking around"?
Hil R.: "Excellent people skills."

Gotta love that Angelus - he's well-read, insightful, witty - if it weren't for that insane mass murderer thing, he'd be damn near perfect.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Angel, spoilery:
Jesse:
He did NOT just say "big, hard, thing."
amych:
He did. And yet, I was on giggle-delay about the line. It failed to sink in at first, because I was so expecting him to say, "It's a description of the beast. It says big... rubber... disco... satan."
Please tell me I'm not the only one.
