More in Natter: Miracleman:

North Korea has nukes that can reach the West Coast.

Why do I get the feeling Bush is saying "Fuck California anyway. They voted Democratic. On to Iraq!"

Sean K:

Because he is.

Natter 8:

Phil: Ooooo, post apocalyptic pick-up lines. OK...GO!

Aimee: Barren enough for ya?

MM: "Hey, baby...you from around where this used to be?" "Is it radioactive in here, or is it you?" "Your eyes are like limpid pools of potable water."

BHP: So... your hair's a lot less patchy than most of the guys around here. Baby... wanna share my iodine?

Sean K: Hey baby. Do you slough skin around here often?

Phil: Is your father a thief? I just wondered who stole the moon and stars and put them in your eyes. Also, I saw him hoarding grain. If you sleep with me, I won't have him banished to the Death Zone...Baby.

Sean K: There's room in the hovel for one more...

BHP: What's your Sign of the Apocalypse? Me, I've always dug the Horsemen.

MM: "Why yes it is a loaded double-barreled shotgun in my pocket...but I am happy to see you..."

Aimee: {for a guy} "Hey baby - ever seen a naked man with 2 penises?"

BHP: Is it hot in here, or is it just fallout?

Sean K: I love the way the raging fires from the husk of the destroyed city brings out the light in your eyes.

Amych: Here's looking at you, kid. But not in a staring-at-the-hairless-freak way, honest.

BHP: Really creative use of Space Blanket there. Wanna come loot a few more with me?

MM: "Didn't I see you looting that pharmacy? I'm sure I did...you beat that old lady to death with her own umbrella. And I thought, then and there, 'That's the one. That's the one I'm gonna re-populate the world with'..."

Phil: Say, Baby, nice noses.

DavidS: "I'm sorry, I think you dropped your thumb."

Aimee: "Thanks honey, but I got 3 more."

BHP: "Did I mention I'm a dentist?"

Phil: "Did I mention that I own shoes?"

Victor: You positively glow in the moonlight. I mean that literally. Is that supposed to happen?

Sean K: What's a nice girl like you doing pillaging an apocalyptic wasteland like this?

Aimee: (What colour are your eyes?) They're limpid pools of emerald, with a doe-brown lightning slash in the left one.

BHP: "If I said you had a beautiful mutation, would you hold it against me?"

Kathy Astrom: "Well, ain't we a pair, raggedy man."

Sean K: TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES!!!

MM: This Blaster! Twenty men enter, only him leave!

Sarameg: " I've got some iodine tabs back at my tarp...."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh. My. God. I haven't gotten to the post-apocalyptic part of Natter yet, and you guys have me HOWLING with laughter!

Matt on the latest Angel:

Well, I think, all in all, that was not a totally failed effort at entertainment.

If I only had a brain...

Aimée: So, when I said I like a little body throughout the top, I DID NOT MEAN LIKE A G-D 1974 COUNTRY SINGER!!!

Sorry. I'm ok.

Connie--to give us Unamericans some context, was Matt's remark a rhetorical understatement, ie, was Angel actually incredibly good?

(PS Does everyone know that the rhetorical term for that kind of understatement--ie the opposite of hyperbole--is litotes? Well now you do!)

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

Victor in Angel: Anyone who can give that "I want to give you something real" speech with a straight face has to be evil.

Angus (which is only two letters removed from Angel... hmmmm), you may safely assume Matt was litoting in this case.

Herah, in Bitches:

I now have all the laundry put away. Because I didn't do any today or yesterday.
However, I am not in a panic, because today we only used one pair of underwear per child. I don't have to do laundry in order to dress the kids tomorrow!
(I'm thinking this moment was something to live for. Is that sweet or sad?)

which is only two letters removed from Angel

It's also two letters short of "Angelus", incidentally. So don't get on my bad side.
