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.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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.

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.

Thanks DX. Edited.

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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

What's the tie-breaker solution?
That's where the Whip comes in. We just pick some people who are on the fence and I beat them into submission.
Democracy is fun!
Edit: got it. Thanks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
