Caroma and Betsy from Natter:

Caroma

We've had 43 presidents, we mackeral-snappers are about 1/4 of the population, and you can count the number of Catholic presidents on one finger. Hmmm. Of course, there's bunches of us as mayors, and governors, and on the Supreme Court, so...never mind! Forget I said anything! There is no Vatican conspiracy with the Whore of Babylon to bring about the advent of the Antichrist, what a silly thought!!

Betsy

You gave us Scalia.

Some day, the rest of us *must* find some way to appropriately reward you.

Queen Latifah is lovely, but she was wielding those mams like she was competing in the Aretha Franklin invitational.

It's funny cause it's true, Sophia in Natter: I was so sure we'd be living in a post apocolyptic post nuclear bombing world by now that I somehow neglected to make better plans for my life.

Cindy, in Buffy

You'll have noticed, of course, that I waited until there was the better part of a continent between us. Distance makes the balls grow bigger.

John H. in Natter, on why he's in no hurry to see The Hours: Plus, the whole Virginia Woolf thing. When I was at university, there were the Woolf fans and the Joyce fans, and we were like the Sharks and the Jets. Only without the fighting. Or dancing. Or singing. You know what I mean.

Rio in natter on the white man's need for flavored bagels:

the bagel thing fits in with my larger theory about white people and muffins. I don't have time to go into detail right now, but basically the thing is: White people just want to eat muffins 24/7, but they are ashamed of this fact, so they take totally good yummy foods like bagels and coffee and ice cream and turn it all into muffins. Hence stuff like the blueberry bagel. The caramel latte. The chunky chocolate-almond-caramel-fudge ice cream. JUST EAT A FRELLING MUFFIN, WHITEY! That is what I say.

kat perez in Bureaucracy on preferential voting (it's funny 'cause it's true!):

The PV people are like Sam I Am. "Try it, try it. You will see." It's so cute.

TomW in Natter:

I laugh at bagel puritanism.

I cannot think of a variety of whacked-out, frou-frou bagel that I will not try at least once. If they launched Skittles bagels, Guinness bagels, or bagels with little chocolate beagles baked right in, I would be first in line.

Nutty:
Why, I remember when people beat the shit out of eachother without any assistance! Back in the day, it was none of this wire-this and fly-around-in-circles-that! We had stuntpeople and camera tricks, and that was all! And if we needed a guy to kill ten baddies at once, why, we gave him a baseball bat and told the baddies to come at him one at a time.

You youngsters. Don't undertsnad the value of a good baseball bat.

In Movies:

Amber B.:I'm sorry, I must be drunk. Did Eminem really just win an Academy Award?

And I'm not sure who said this, but it made me giggle:

Aw, Ling Mao, finding a Hollywood insider against the war is like finding a confused teenager.
