BWAHAHAHA! ita in Natter 9:

My boss suggests I take Understanding Personal Communication Styles:

This course is based upon the personality assessment model of the PACE palette, which uses your personal color type to help you effectively interact and communicate with others. This course covers:

# Identifying your color type

# Discussion around each color type

# Exploring effective ways to interact with others

I don't want to! I just want to be able to hit people in the head when they don't do what I've told them to. When did that become unacceptable? Wait ... no .. they do have a "Whack on the Side of the Head" course. I need to see the description. Maybe I can test out.

Matt the Bruins Fan, speaking of the Hope Diamond:

"Hah! So much for your alleged curse. Not so threatening now that you're owned by the government rather than an individual you can drive to madness or destruction, are you? Wait a minute..."

Fayjay in Bitches on her tag ("You can't double tig a tag" (Billy to Elijah)):

(A tag about tags, quoting LotR boys. It couldn't be more taggalicious without actually being in Tagalog.)

I've never COMMed before, but here goes:

Matt the Bruins Fan in Buffy--not a spoiler--

I'm scared by the implication there was once someone out there with both prehensile genitals and the willingness to stop a chainsaw with them.

Nice one, Maysa! My mind is boggling so hard that my skull may split. I take it this isn't a reference to Clark Kent's prehensile secondary penis, then? Although the possibility that there could be more than one random conversation about prehensile penises (penes?) capable of stopping a chainsaw is...well, a very Buffista thing, come to think of it.

I'm COMMing Fay, from right below her...AIFG!

No, it was in reference to a warning label.

Clakr Kent has a secondary prehensile penis? I'm so glad I don't watch Smallville. Or maybe that means I should start watching.

Ah, Maysa. You're having that reaction that happens to all Buffistas on one subject or another, here.

It's the: I'm not sure if I'm repelled or attracted by that idea, and I'm too smart and too scared to find out.

Clakr Kent has a secondary prehensile penis?

It was badfic. Smallville has given rise to shedloads of very, very good fiction. And also to some truly breathtakingly bad fiction. Badfic of the sort that really sets new lows. I haven't laughed harder at anything in months. I cried. My face hurt. And this was just from the paragraph or so that Vortex quoted for us. Reading the whole story would probably have killed me.

I don't know, there's something very creative about the whole idea. I picture Clark Kent swinging through the trees with it. Who needs flying when you've got that?

(Sorry about the nattering.)
