Thanks Fay.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
And I doubt there'd be as much fuel for the occasional blisteringly-funny MM rants in Switzerland.
You may be right on that. How much ire can I draw up over hot-chocolate, cuckoo clocks and multi-purpose knives?
"This cocoa is...is really. Damn. Well, it's...hot. Shit. I'm goin' someplace I hate, I'll be happier."
The dichotomy of snark.
Suela and MM, in Natter. Catching up is fun!

MM and Aimée funny.
MM: Today feels like one of those days when you want dancing weasels around.
Just to cut the tension, you know? Things get too deep, people start crying you can always point and say "Look! Dancing weasels! On ice!"
I think it would be better than psychotherapy.
Aimee: Can we have a weasel?
MM: I'll think about it.
Aimee: How about a camel?
MM: No.
Aimee: A dromedary?
MM: No.
Aimee: Why not?
MM: Because it's a fucking camel.

connie neil, proving why some people may think she is the evillest Buffista, in Angel:
People have their limits. If her cage had full toilet facilities, then a little between the bars snarking with a hot guy is not necessarily a bad thing.

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

It should be mentioned I'm highly medicated right now....feeling very giggly. And like I want to yell a lot. So, um, yeah...the number of exclamation points should be considered with those factors! Even if I'm usually exclamationpointy, I don't usually use...um...ten or however many. Really.
Why doesn't anyone believe me?

Terry Pratchett says that three exclamation points in dialogue is the hallmark of the deranged character.

Or, David Walker.
I love David Walker. He is my typographical inspiration. Plus, you know, the rhetoric.

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
Steph L: Don't mind Miracleman -- he's Swiss. They get like that.

This was a test. It was only a test. If it had been a real possible-escape situation, the wrench on the nautical map would not have been made out of foam rubber.
