Don't you just love it when real life is almost weirder than Emily?
Nope, no context here, folks...
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

In order to keep this thread from going 12 hours without a post, I was going to post a lengthy opinion piece on the recent discussions. But as a courtesy to skimmers I shortened it to highlight just the fighting words:
Quorum ..... Representation ..... Majority ..... Moratorium ..... Australiiiiiia ..... Deathmatch ..... Voter Turnout ..... Abstension ..... Discussion ..... Ballot ..... Policy ..... Consensus ..... Monkey ..... Preference ..... Headache

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Elena B: Because, me, I want to be a dilettante. The future is pretty bleak.

Meara: I want Erlenmayer flasks! And other cool chemistry lab stuff! Can I just peruse the catalogue and sigh and reminisce?
DX Machina: Don't you just love watching mad scientist sequences on TV where they clamp up all sorts of impressive condensers and soxhlet extractors on a rack, and then they ruin the effect by filling the cooling jackets with colored water.
Meara: Uh, I'm sure it's...uh...colored glycerin, really cold! yeah!!
They're so cute when they geek out and get all chemist bondy.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I loved the time I told an actor to "brandish the TV antenna like a sword" and got told I "used too many big words"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Jenny G: Incidentally, I've always thought of long pig (human flesh) as the other, other white meat.
Do you think there's a market for vegetarian faux long pig? Soylent soy anyone?
Trudy Booth: Soylent soy is soy beans!
Soy Beaaaaaaaaaaaans!

Last night at the club, we discovered that certain colored strobe lights will make my eyes flash neon green. Apparently it's quite striking when I'm out on the dance floor. Pity I can't just make it happen by strength of will.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wise words from Scrappy's friend, quoted in Bitches:
As a friend once put it, "I don't want a man who loves the smart, funny, charming parts of me, because EVERYONE loves that part of me. I got that covered. I want a man who loves the cranky, tired, dull part of me. "
