The inimitable BHP in Great Write Way:

Anybody, no matter how distinguished, who tells you "If you don't X, you can't write" is wrong. Unless "X" is "write".

Because it's truuue.

Victor, in Spoilers, speculating about The Last Episode. Because it needs to be shared with the unspoiled.

Disclaimer: Unless he knows something and isn't telling, this is pure speculation.

The world ends, and Angel wakes up in a cold sweat, screaming. Lindsey, lying next to him, rolls over him, holds him tenderly and says, "what's wrong honey." Angele replies that he had a bad dream, that he was a vampire, and that the world ended, and that he... he... was in love with a girl.

Next season, AtS becomes Queer as Folk.

Madrigal, I think

So now I'm wishing they'd had Dawn trash-talking the Joel Grey demon to try to get him to just kill her instead of doing the shallow cuts. "You're not scary! Your resurrection spells are crappy - the Charmed sisters could do better. And your daughter is a sucky actress and the nose job didn't help her appearance any. Also you smell like evil ass."

Bitches, weaving the silly, the strange, and the serious into one seamless fabric:

connie neil, quoting from a science article:

Human sperm become excited when exposed to the scent of lily of the valley

juliana:

Wierd.

I mean all of it, the fact that different people react so differently to the same medication, and the fact that we still have no idea how or why we work, and ESPECIALLY that sperm, apparently, has a reaction to odor.

Also, abuse of commas.

Cindy:

If sperm abuse commas, do you think that's just a display of poor self-esteem/hatred of self?

Jess PMoon:

I think the comma is the favored punctuation mark of the sperm because they look so much alike.

Cindy:

Then why the comma abuse. The sperm must be made to stop it. I'm thinking we get our girls to invade them for a change.

juliana:

I was thinking the semicolon, because it diagrams their ultimate goal.

Cindy:

Orientationist! I mean sure it does for the straight sperm. But what about the poor gay sperm?

Cindy:

cereal...

(quoting juliana) I was thinking the semicolon, because it diagrams their ultimate goal.

Although this is true for the straight sperm, you just know they think they're more like question marks.

juliana:

Orientationist! I mean sure it does for the straight sperm. But what about the poor gay sperm?

Damn it! There I go with my auto-sperm-assumptions again. I must think long and hard about the poor gay sperm's plight.

Cindy:

Oooh - here's one for the gay sperm: "

Only we need the bendy kind of " instead of the straight kind of "

And the lesbian ova is

:

sarameg:

punctuation porn?

juliana:

Only we need the bendy kind of " instead of the straight kind of "

Finally! A use for SmartQuotes!

Cindy:

punctuation porn?

Heavens, no. We just refuse to accept punctuation without representation any longer. That we've tolerated it this long is a national shame.

All we are saying, is give ,:;"'.?!`/-|^ a chance.

brenda m:

~~?

Cindy:

Whatever floats your boat, brenda. We're a very open group.

In Bureaucracy:

Kristen:

Part of why I like "Like Sartre, Only Longer" is it just seems the natural progression from "Like Kafka, Only Funnier."

Elena:

And the third thread could be "Like Minear, Only Bloodier".

ita:

But they never let us have blood!

Elena:

That's because no one asked Tim to be a Stompy. Imagine, someone gets out of line and all of a sudden their name is in the credits. MWAHAHAHAHA!

Fiona:

I have never tried a vegetarian haggis, it seems so.... pointless.

Am-Chau Yarkona:

I have. It's always way too spicy for me, though. (I'm all about the bland food. This either makes me a good vegetarian, if you think it's all bland anyway (not true), or a bad vegetarian, if you're trying to convince people that not all vegetarian food is bland. I had a point, but it seems to have wondered off to find its One True Pencil.)

Nutty, in Natter:

I am thinking I would like to get ripped and eat sweets now. Alas that I am at work, before noon, on a Thursday, rendering the first half of the natter joy equation unlikely. CVS, however, probably has Cadbury mini eggs, which are like unto crack in their portability and ease of use. N.b.: please don't set your Cadbury mini eggs on fire on my say-so. And do not eat crack rocks. This is a simile only.

Am-Chau missed one of the reactions to her Bureaucracy run

Plei:

Oh. My. Lord. Mashed Potatoes in New Places. Ouch. Painful.

connie, in LOTR

Obviously the cold medicine is kicking in.

I saw ROTK and though, "Rolling on the ... oh, King! Wait, Rolling on the King? Well, that would make the Boromir/Aragon slashers happy."

DXMachina:

It's just sitting there

A number so attractive

yes, I am a slut
