From Dude, Where's My Precious:

Nutty:

Whereas, if Frodo had started the conversation with, "Hey, I know a dude from Gondor. Also, a few incredibly powerful people who trust me and think you should trust me too!", his relationship with Faramir would have been substantially less rocky.

Sean K:

But then maybe not. Faramir, even film!Faramir, doesn't strike me as the type to react well to name dropping. I think if Frodo had taken that route, Faramir would have been even more suspicious.

Nutty:

Well, but then you get the fun & exciting scene where Faramir quizzes Frodo on the name-droppees.

"So, Gandalf. Nice purple hat he wears."

"Grey, you mean. He's not Gandalf the Fashion Victim."

"Right. Grey. Ri-i-ight. You said you met Elrond?"

"Well, I thought it was him. But then later, he put on these strange clothes and dark goggles on his face, and said he had to go battle -- uhm, Key-ay-noo? I think it was -- with his boomstick."

"Boomstick? What is this new devilry?"

"I cannot say. A tool against the Dark Lord, I hope."

"I'm to believe this, Baggins?"

Okay, you're right.

Alibelle in Natter:

I swear to heretical mustachioed Jesus that I'm not Ali G.

Were I to get Nattery here, which obviously I'm not going to, I'd be tempted to sing the praises of Dutch Chocolate. Which is not only defuckinglicious in and of its own right, but has also rendered someone (who obviously isn't me no siree bob) absolutely totally and utterly stoneder than a stoned thing covered in stones. In Estonia. Why yes, that stoned. Infinitely more stoned than smoking the occasional spliff had ever rendered her. Er. Or him. 'Cause this hypothetical chocolate-eating person could have been a him. What with the whole not-being-me.

Ahem.

Katie M in Angel 2:

I give Gunn's parents the benefit of the doubt and assume they were killed a tragic car crash or pound cake accident or something.

Trudy:

Does anybody have a good pecan sandies recipe?

Teppy:

Go to store.

Find cookie aisle.

Purchase Pecan Sandies.

Thank Keebler Elves.

PMM: My world doesn't have #ffffff or #000000 in it, I fear.

Angus:

**coughF2Fboozefundcough**

Hec and I are of the same mind.

And Holli, no problem, we'll use it to buy you cigarettes or drugs.

Holli:

Fantastic! I knew this Internet thing would work out in my favor one day.

Angus G - Only three members and we already have a schism! Things are going to plan.

billytea - I like to imagine Jesus saying this, while twirling his moustache of course.

Hil R. in Natter:

I once saw a cat try to attack the television while it was showing the Kenneth Branagh Hamlet. This cat was already known to be evil, so I'm not sure what this says about Kenneth Branagh or Hamlet.

Thessaly in Natter, with regards to her ferret's coping mechanisms:

When we bought Jemmy, ferret #2, the stages seemed to be:

1. Wasn't I *enough*? How could you betray me like this!!!! If I were human, I would wear black turtlenecks and listen to The Cure.

2. Perhaps it's supposed to be a toy. I'd better hide it under the bed.

3. Owner seems upset when new toy squeaks and has coated it with something upalatable. Also, occasionally it fights back. Not recommended in small spaces where it has the advantage. Have decided to take nap and rise above it all.

4. Have found use for interloper after all - am instructing her to distract owner while making way into sweater drawer. World Domination Is Mine.

Edited for species integrity.
