Finally, please note which thread spawned the quotage and please white-out anything that might be spoilery to Un-Americans.
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.
Angel, slight spoilers:
DXMachina: We've had Othello and Oedipus. What other plays start with O?
Matt the Bruins fan: Oh, Calcutta?
Oklahoma!?
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.
Aimée: Working on resume. How does one write, "gets money from deadbeats without use of smacking around"?
Hil R.: "Excellent people skills."
Amber B., from Angel spoilerly:
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.
billytea in bitches reporting his younger brother's reworking of 'Oh Tannembaum':

connie neil in Previously: "speci-fic: one of the hundreds of fics that you've read that had a fairly cool idea that you wish was canon so you could use it in your own fic"
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.
