Emily in Bitches, with wise words of comfort:
"Here Erin has gone before me, and prepared a way, And she hath laughed upon it, and said, God, that sucked, but it's fucking funny, isn't it? And therefore shall I not despair."
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

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

Can I just say that Huggybear is the worst pimp name ever? It sounds like one of the lost Care Bears. I wonder what would come out of his tummy?

Cindy answering my question about the existence of a UK version of the Miranda speech in UnAmerican:
ita - I believe it goes,
Pardon us, we don't mean to intrude at such a trying time, but we thought perhaps, amidst all the commotion, there were a few things you should consider keeping in mind. It is terribly important that you remember you have the right to hold your peace. If you ask us, this world would be a spot better off if we all tried doing so from time to time, not that you did ask of course. And if you will allow us to be a tad blunt, well, you are already in a sticky wicket, are you not? Saying something that could and will be used against you, is probably not the prudent course of action. Right, then. Furthermore, you of course realize that you have the right to contact a solicitor, but we do find reminding folks in situations such as the one at hand, does come in handy. Please enjoy your stay. Pip pip. Cheerio.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Arachnophobia, in Bitches, part 1 -
connie neil:
OK, I bet I can top your "kill the motherfucker arachnid!" stories--Hubby heard me making odd noises in the kitchen one day, swearing like he's never heard me swear, and came to investigate. And took the .45 automatic pistol from my hands that I was trying desperately to get the safety off.
But, dammit, it was BIG. And it LOOKED AT ME. And it was not going to be living much longer. Hubby took it outside and made me promise never to go for firearms to dispose of varmints inside the house again.
Jilli VoiceOfReason:
Okay, Connie wins. That beats my can of AquaNet hairspray and a lighter trick.
DavidS:
So...spiders are a No? Is that the message I'm getting here? I don't want there to be any ambiguity on this subject.
connie neil:
Hec, I nearly shot my kitchen wall, I think "spiders are a no" is kind of a law of the universe at this point.
DavidS:
I gotta say this makes me feel more nervous about being in your kitchen than I do about spiders.
Aimée:
Hell, I wonder what she does when her risotto is bad. Uzi? Hand grenade?
connie neil:
Um, should I not mention that going to the shooting range is one of the best stress relievers I know? And this was several years ago and I'm MUCH smarter about gun safety now?
DavidS:
So now you'd just pistol-whip the spider?
Sean K:
This is why I do not allow myself to own firearms. I would be trying to shoot the big-ass spiders, too.
connie neil:
I'm not irresponsible, I'm not!
David J. Schwartz:

Arachnophobia, in Bitches, part 2 -
brenda m:
Huh. I don't mind spiders at all. I'm not fond of beetles or centipedes but I just stomp them and it's all good. Spiders I ususally leave alone.
DavidS:
Go Brenda, with the sanity! Woo hoo!
not afraid to go to Brenda's kitchen, no sir.
brenda m:
I'm sure I've got a crazy phobia buried somewhere, but as yet it hasn't jumped out at me from a dark corner, and so I live in ignorance.
DavidS:
Is this what's it come to? You have to apologize for your mental health?

Madrigal, in Natter 11:
The twisted moral I got from that story was that it pretty much always sucks to be a sheep, so if possible, be the shepherd who gets to decide who's a priority.

'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"
Talking about Clive Owen and his several prominent roles in Movies, when the strand of conversation starts to get sidetracked into an alternate, more fascinating universe.
DavidS:
Kate, Clive is the last of the assassins sent to kill Matt Damon
Jim:
I was skimming, and thought I'd missed a whole, rather more exciting, plot strand in Gosford Park (Which was OK, if only for Kristen Scott-Thomas's ferocious farewell to icy posh bitch roles)

Leigh brings the snark in UnAmerican:
Add that to my sudden disinterest in Spike, who somehow manages to be even more pathetic than Angel at the whole, "I've killed... well, who can remember exact numbers, but what's important is that your strangely non-expressed love gives me the strength I need to refrain from having bad hair" schtick...
[please someone edit if this is spoilery--I'm pretty sure it's not, but I slutted spectacularly for downloaded Buffy eps at Min's place and can no longer recall exactly where the Australians are]

UTTAD, in Buffy:
Well, what with all those lesbians and jews they have in BtVS, the Christians can take solace in the fact that all those connected to the show, will know God's love by burning in hell for all eternity.

Nobody
Aww, I just blushed bright red and frightened my cat.Squee, I got COMMed, squeeee! Ahem.
And yes, Spike's pathetic-ness has been fully aired down here in Oz, much to our...um, rather *my* chagrin. Sadly everyone else in Australia has resisted my generous offer of opinion-regulating mind-control. Some people just don't want to be helped.
