Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

In Firefly:

Jim E-T: Anyone need a tape fairy?

billytea: The morning does stragne things to you. I read this and imagined Tinkerbell firmly attached to Jim's upper colon. "Yeah, I just don't seem to have the energy I once did, and no matter how much I eat I lose weight; but on the plus side, I do get three wishes..."

Actually, this could explain a lot. Er, not about Jim. I reckon tape fairies could be a common infestation among TV writers; which is why the audience spends so much time shouting "Come on, they pulled that one out of their own arse!"

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

Heather in Bitches:

Because we're Buffistas and like our thoughts, and we like it when people pet them.

If I only had a brain...

vw bug: This post is brought to you by the punctuation exclamation point and the attitude sarcasm.

Cindy, in Bureaucracy, no context:

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jess PMoon, Angel, not spoilery. I'm tempted to COMM the whole conversation, but that would get spoilery, and I'm lazy.

(And even if not, I don't think it's very likely that the puncture victim would sit up and say "Aha! I've only got one penis! Your threats mean nothing to me!")

Edit: and ita's followup:

No, but I might say "Moron! I have no penis! What the hell you gonna do now?"

And then lapse back into a pain laced half-consciousness.

John H, in Natter:

My dad's point is really that people shouldn't take their impressions of France from what people normally see, i.e. a few days in Paris. They should get out in the country and meet some real people. It's like assuming everyone in the USA is an asshole from visiting a Fox Network Executives meeting.

Nobody

In Natter, on the Freedom Fries initiative...

dareva:

My SO and I have been eating french fries like maniacs ever since we heard of the "freedom fries" stupidity. I mean, come the hell on! Just when I think people can't get any stupider (or would that be more stupid?).

Betsy:

Don't do it! You'll die of heart attacks and the jingoists will have won!

Use French ticklers instead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not funny, but worth repeating.

sarameg, in Natter:

How about we aim distain at those who chose to abuse the concept of responsibility, both mass responsibility and personal responsibility, invoking it when it suits them without taking any of it when it doesn't?

We all need to be responsible, as members of whatever group we associate with, and as individuals in our choices.
