Roxy Music now wants to know if my love's strong enough. It survived Charlotte and Norfolk, so I'm going to say yes.

hayden in Natter:
I have no flaws. Other than my occasional overindulgence in humility.
Kat, in Natter:
I'm beginning a catalog list of my flaws. Judgmental is right there at the top. Followed by impatient. Impatient isn't my tragic flaw, but like a doorman it sure holds a door open for the rest of them.
In Bitches, on the subject of cursing in British:
Betsy Hanes Perry:
If your mother didn't punish you for saying it, it doesn't count.
Steph:
That means nothing counts for me.
Right fucking ON, man!
Right buggering damn sodding hell ON, man!
Matt the Bruins Fan:
I remember having professional standards at one time... now it's more along the lines of "well, I won't feel it necessary to change my name and leave the country if things go out this way."
Erica: Fay,you know "shag" is a carpet here, right? Also a dance from the 60s, and (Hi, Hec) a haircut.
Billytea: I'm still waiting to discover that in America, 'Bugger me sideways with a fish fork' is a brand of moccasin or something.
Steph in Bitches:
On top of that, I just asked incompetent!boss the same question 3 times -- the exact same wording each time -- and got the following answers:
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "No."
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "I don't know what you mean."
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "Yes, of course."
And then I figured it out. Incompetent!boss IS MegaHAL.
ita, in Natter, on nicknames and authors:
Wassup, mah Pepys??
You think that happened to him much?
In Bitches:
Steph: Okay, folks. I need to write something for class tomorrow. Throw out some ideas.
Betsy: Childhood memories are always a goldmine. Write about the first time you ever plagiarized somebody else's essay.
In Bitches:
Fay(?): wrod. Like "Drat" comes from "God Rot Ye".
billytea: Yeah. And 'Zounds!' comes from 'God's wounds', and 'Zoinks!' from 'God's... oinks...' Um.
