Noumenon, in Natter:
You know natter's slow when you can compose a 433-word serial post.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

Brenda M., Natter:
It's possible that I'm on drugs right now, because it appears that COPS has an undercover officer picking up hookers while wearing a clown suit.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Robert H in Music:
Now I'm imagining an XTC/Rush album. That'd be a mess.

I expect niceness here. I come here for niceness. I love that I can always find niceness here. and that fact that there are debates over katsup as a valid food choice.
Edited to add Burrell's response:
Ironically, we are much more likely to get mean and nasty about each other's ketchup proclivities than we are about war protests.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nilly, in Natter:
When I studied the English 'present simple' tense, in the fifth grade or so, I could never ever imagine it would ever be used with my name. Oh, the surprises life holds.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I can't believe nobody COMMed this!
Trudy, in Bitches:
From a Salon article:
"In southern France, about 10,000 people demonstrated in Toulouse against the United States, chanting: 'They bomb, they exploit, they pollute, enough of this barbarity.' "
Either that's a lot more catchy in French or we've got some clue as to how the Nazis rolled into Paris so easily

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
From Bitches, and whitefonted for miniscule current season Buffy spoilers:
Steph L. :The Evil was living in my sink.
amych: I'm trying very hard not to think of it as The Evil, because I already have a cat for all my domestic Evil needs. Instead, I'm trying to think of it as being like Lisa Simpson's mold-colony science project. Any day, I'm going to be able to peer into the sink and say, "Look, I made Lutherans!"

Calli, you don't need to whitefont -- I was just referring to a broadly generic evil, rather than the First Evil.
Although now that I've clarified, the whitefont might need to stay...
How very confusing.

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

DavidS:
presses nose to glass, and stamps feet in the cold, waiting for Theo to come turn on the lights and unlock the door.
DXMachina:
Looks around, notices that Connie hasn't showed up yet. Unlocks door, and steps back as David's stiff, frozen body falls into the thread...
Shrugs, starts mearaing...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In Angel:
Nutty: Ok, iffn we're getting gramatical, I want to throw down with them Brits, who insist that "z" is pronouced "zed" rather than "zee."
Trudy: No joke! The British Alphabet Song has 25 letters and a redneck.
