Smallville:
Kat:
Y'all wanna know what's amiss? Looking for sound logic and reason and biologic sense making in an episode of SMALLVILLE!
billytea:
Pfft. Like any of that would bother me when I have a chance to bring up a mind-controlling ant-parasite.
Dana, that was Kat, not me. In fact, I was guilty of feeding the billytea.
And a grateful nation thanks you.
Kate P in Natter:
Maybe that's the secret to how I'm able to afford to go to all these cool places. "Excuse me, I need to send myself to India. How many stamps do I need?"
P.M. Marcontell:
Ask in the fanfiction thread. I think Dana can point you to some.
P.M. Marcontell:
Hee. Dana linked before I could even get the words out.
Dana:
Someone speaks of slash, and I'm magically summoned.
P.M. Marcontell:
You're like the Candyman, only not a horror movie character, or a Smallville guest star.
Vortex:
so if I say "slashtastic" three times, new slash will automatically appear?

Sorry. Automatic response. Any UK folks who went to Pantomimes when they were wee may understand - it's like the whole Tinkerbell "I do believe in fairies" thing.
Heh. Which turns out to be a pun.
Nilly in Natter 8, on the finer points of number companioning:
Nilly [post 5011]:
I like the strange ones that nobody else does, or even notice they exist. Not because they're easier to get or because I want to comfort them for being left out, though. Just because I like them. Oh, and the 17 ones.
Trudy Booth:
The 17 ones are just peculiar...
You should claim some obscure Kabalaistic reason. Nobody would ever know.
Angus:
Nilly, you probably say to yourself: "5011, oh, that's a prime number, cool!" (NB I have no idea whether it's actually a prime number or not.)
Nilly [post 5014]:
Do you know what 'Gimatria' is? Every letter in Hebrew has a number value, according to its place (1-9, 10-90, 100-400), and therefore every word has a number value, according to the letters in it. So there's a whole numerology thing going on around it, even way before anything deep is being thought of. I could use that.
For example, the Hebrew word for 'good' has a value of 17. And I liked the number way before I've noticed that. My name has the value of 100.
[Edit: I look at this post number, and I think: cool, 5=0+1+4]
Trudy Booth:
Ah, it was mystic hebrew numerology! Look at you, Nilly!
Nilly [post 5017]:
And if you read the post backwards, you can hear some linear algebra explanations.
[Edit: who am I kidding, I wanted the 17 in that post number, I don't really have anything to say]
Fayjay:
To be honest, any sentence which involves the pronoun "me" in close proximity to the phrase "having sex" seems unlikely to occur outside Real Person Fic any time this side of never, so it's pretty much a moot point.
