That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

In Dude, Where's My Precious? ("Luscious" being Lucius Malfoy):

FayJay:

At some point I mean to write a fic in which Luscious arrives at his elven hairdresser (through whatever portal one needs to accomplish such a journey) and sits there snootily flicking through magazines whilst Haldir sips a latte, each of them radiating angry cat vibes over the whole who's the prettiest thing.

I guess Legolas would be having his roots done, at this point. And Celeborn would be sitting under the drier.

Betsy Hanes Perry:

Pssst! Legolas has extensions!

Kathy Astrom:

Oh, and Elrond would be getting his eyebrows waxed!

FayJay:

Pssst! Legolas has extensions!

This is an evil rumour spread about by Elrond, just because his OverProtectiveDadness is jealous about Legolas being the prettiest.

candyb:

I think often about how great the Elvish Spas and Salons must be. The tremendous amount of time they all must spent there, hanging out and whatnot just like Fay described.

Betsy Hanes Perry:

And singing.

Possibly doo-wop.

FayJay:

I bet they use Lembas as biscotti. I bet they were all "here, take this, it will last you a very long time" and the whole time they were sniggering behind their bows at the gullibility of hobbits.

Beverly:

Hee! To the Elven Beautification Emporium, as such an establishment near me is known.

Anne W.:

"This, little ones, is Elven Latte. One sip will keep a man awake and somewhat jittery for a week."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Angus in Music:

Question for the Americans: in Sisqo's "Thong Song", there's a bit that goes:

She had dumps like a truck, truck, truck
Thighs like what? What? What?
Baby, move your butt, butt, butt
I think I'll sing it again (...etc.)

My question is, what are "dumps," and why is it desirable for them to be trucklike? Because the only association I can bring to mind is taking a dump, and that would be an...unusual choice of image, particularly for a song dedicated to an underwear fetish.

(The most sublime and uplifting song about women's underwear ever, btw. Well, can you think of a rival?)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Trudy: Could you grow a penis?

erikaj: Now, Trudy, I love my friends. Would do anything for them, but that's a little much. And I'm afraid you'd be disappointed anyway...I'm just thinking how long it took me to get my digital camera to work. A new body part's got to take at least that long to master, right?

Mr. Rogers' voice creeped me out. I don't like to be soothed.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

BHP, in Natter:

Lunch. Now. Started saying was going to lunch now half an hour ago!

Arrgh. Must buy helping verbs. Also personal pronouns. Perhaps in feminine hygiene section?

Betsy, I can set you up with some copula verbs, cheap!

John H, in Natter:

When I say I love Singapore, I mean I really love it, by the way. I have a crush on Singapore. I go all giggly and shy when Singapore is mentioned. I mean I know that Singapore could never love me back, but that's what a crush is, right?

What? I'm catching up!

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Java, the wonderland quote was me too.

Yes, I am tooting my own horn (or, as a friend of mine used to say, my own chicken). What's your point? It was only the setup for billytea anyway.
