Cindy on religion in Natter:
If there aren't cookies, it isn't a holiday, even if it pretends to be. The best a non-cookie "holiday" can hope to be is a day off.
[editorial: If I didn't have quick lips, this would have literally been COMM. I'd just taken a sip.]

It's the Netherlands, like the Netherworld, but with more tulips.
Cindy: If there aren't cookies, it isn't a holiday, even if it pretends to be. The best a non-cookie "holiday" can hope to be is a day off.
Gus: OK, Honesty call, ladies. Eight-minute date. The guy whips off his glasses and starts tying them in knots. What do you do with the remaining 450 seconds?
FayJay: Gus - is he tying them in knots with his tongue?
Cindy's bit about holiday cookies was so funny it got COMM'ed twice!
Cookies gets 'em every single time, Burrell. Buffistas be Cookie Companions.
John H., in Natter (with a few paragraphs edited out):
If we could borrow ten thousand Australian, or five thousand American, or, as Nou pointed out, 43,750,000 VND, we could, after confirmation with Thuy, build a house on some land the family owns in Saigon.*
* Even more detail? For about $5,000 we can build a house made of wood, the $10,000 is to build "a house made out of stones" according to the family. I was all "I've heard this story before. You definitely don't want the one made out of straw..."
Daniel C. Jensen , on Oscar-night viewing choices:
Ok, so why would I want to watch the sequel to Dune?
If I wanted to see a story about politics and battles fought over a precious resource under the desert, children reviving the battles the parents fought and never finished, I would watch CNN.
