Hec and I are of the same mind.

Fantastic! I knew this Internet thing would work out in my favor one day.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Nutty in Natter, about her roommate:
She's sort of, hum, she's like a bale of hay. You can kick her really hard, and her shape won't change at all.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
billytea, Thessaly was talking about a ferret's coping mechanisms, not a cat's.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I don't know why anyone is surprised that billytea mixed up cats and ferrets. Everyone knows his strengths lie more with marsupials. :-)

I can say that I would never post in a thread that only allowed me to have one position at a time.

If I only had a brain...
Brenda M.: I still have a very clear sense memory of my mother's elbow impacting with my ribcage one Sunday morning when my brother and I, hung-over and not entirely awake, threw back the communion wine like it was a shot. C'mon, those little glasses, it's easy to get confused.
