Hil: I remember being in second or third grade and trying to tell my friends that they were insulting themselves by putting the annoying boys in the "girl" category. Then they decided that the five of us should play four-square.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

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

Julie, in Bureaucracy:
Put me down as a buggerer. And a shitter. And a fucker.
erm.. so to speak.
Under great pressure nothing beats the eloquence of a nice long string of fuckity fucking fucks.
Also, awfully fond of "sodding" in front of anything that does not please me.
Oh, look! It's just like Sartre.

In Natter:
shrift:Dude. We seriously are waiting on a computer that a guy spilled water on, and attempted to dry it out with a hairdryer and acid.
Acid.
Sue:I'm picturing that the guy dropped a couple of hits of LSD into his hard drive and now his computer is listening to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and watching the room breathe.

Clearly I want my cake and I want to eat it too, atop a pony, a pink one, and I'll call her Apple Blossom, and we'll have marvelous adventures together.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
On keyboard repair, in Natter--
shrift: Its keyboard keys were warped into curlicues. Still don't know what kind of acid the dude used.
DX: That does sound like acetone, rather than acid.
shrift: Well, to be fair, we're not sure if the keyboard warped from whatever he put on it to dry it out, or from the hairdryer he used.
Either way, his keyboard looks like a bowl of shiny black plastic cornflakes.
Madrigal: I use acetone to clean most of my lab stuff, so there might be a slight bit of logic in using it to clean a computer - really just a little bit more logic than it would take to decide to use some Breck shampoo.
DX: And if you did use Breck shampoo, at least the curly keys would be a bit more manageable.
amych: Nobody wants frizzy, flyaway keys.
DX: Nor split [End]s, either...
(ETA the ba-dum-bump.)

From Dude--
Nutty: The Entwives got sick of not being considered Ents themselves, only Ent-appendages, and staged a revolt. They fled Fangorn and have been living in a vegan anti-species-ist lesbian commune in Michigan for the last 1500 years.
Treebeard is a representative of the phallogocentric heteronorm, and we will not stand for it!!
They still tree like the wind, however.
DX: Ents have appendages? And no Ent-wives?
(Has brief thought that Ent slash might exist, and goes off to wash out brain...)
Katie M: Hmm. (goes to Google) Well, one Legolas/Ent piece, apparently.
Fay:
Legolas/Ent
blink
Well, it certainly puts a new spin on getting wood.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Somebody has to excerpt julie's whole post, but I'll just cite the exchange it inspired:
julie:
every time they press post message, they are telling the community something about themselves. Most people want that to be a positive message.
noumenon:
Except that I could swear Theodosia is trying to convey something on the lines of "Puny mortal! I will be the instrument of your doom." Maybe it's just me.
Uh oh, he's broken the code.

Funny if not spoilerly from Buffy (attribute to first person I can't find):
Oh! and let's not forget--I don't intend to--Spike lounging casually on his bed next to the convenient chains in a very come hither way (at least, well, it looked come hither to me).
Trudy: t Trudy changes name to "Hither"
Heather Alayne : Heather has only to change the i to ea.
