Deena, in Bitches.
Today's noteworthy communication with Nick, beginning with female body issues, but going sadly awry:
Nick: When I told Olivia (his former girlfriend) she could sit on my lap, she said, 'No, I'll break you!' and she doesn't even have any real body image problems! I told her, 'Yeah, right, I can't even hold a loaf of bread on my lap.'
Deena: Yes, son, you are so glass-like fragile.
Nick: Mom!
Deena: What? I was just going with your joke.
Nick: But, see, it just doesn't work when you do it. I'm a Manly Man I am, I am!
Deena: Oh, right, you're so lightweight I could hold you with one finger. Ooh, Nick on a stick.
Nick: MOM! That's just wrong.
Deena: Yes dear.
Greg:
looking up from his book.
Stick? What are we talking about?
Deena: Nick on a stick.
Nick: No, Mom, we're not.
(looking at Greg)
My broadsword of manliness!
Greg: Huh.
Nick:
(to me)
You're going to post that to Bitches, aren't you?
steals words out of ita's mouth. tags them. runs like hell lest ita be wrathful.
Sean K in Buffy: Spoilage Lite:
Of course, after all these years, I am now of the opinion that Joss could create a show staring a lump of congealed soup and a large mossy rock, and it would still be one of the best shows on television.

Matt the Bruins fan: I have to face the fact that posting here is literally an addiction now... having a TV show get pre-empted or a friend not call on a given day does NOT make me want to curl up under a blanket for 14 hours straight. (OK, so rainy chilly weather may have contributed slightly...)
thessaly: I remember seeing a quote ages ago (paraphrasing from memory), "If addiction is measured by how many times an animal will push a bar to its own detriment, readnews is the most addictive substance on earth"
I guess now we should substitute 'push a mouse button' and (newsgroup of choice).
Suddenly, I feel old. :)
When I was a young 'net user we didn't have fancy GUI interfaces or HTML- just green or yeller' text on a monochrome screen - AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY! We had to FTP uphill both ways and store files on a cassette drive at 300 baud that sounded like a cat barfing and half the time it wouldn't even CONNECT! But we were greatful, not like kids are these days...
Jesse, in Bureaucracy:
The how we decide what to discuss discussion and decision comes next, I think.
Christ, I can't believe I just typed that.
Cindy on Buffy, in, well, Buffy (not even really a spoiler but whitefonted):
Motivational speaking isn't her gift; death is her gift.

Me:
Hey! It's our tenth anniversary this year!
DH:
What's ten again?
Me:
I don't know.
DH:
I think it's cock. I think you're going to like it, but I'm really not looking forward to it. Oh, and I already got your gift.
