I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Thanks for all the fish.

I don't know if it's in here yet, but Steph's Dad, being quoted in Bitches 8 on WX.

A dead battery is no reason to marry an asshole.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The Kristen and Allyson show, on Natter. (Happy Birthday Kristen!)

Allyson: DUDE. I swear to god we could mate my lunatic fandom with your lunatic fandom, and create a race of runny Jell-O shaped like people. We could feed the world.

It's all protein.

Kristen: Yes, but that would create a whole new species of even more annoying people.

Allyson: Yes, but I don't think Jell-O can type. We can just stuff them with small oranges and mini marshmallows and stick sparklers in them on the Fourth of July. AND, since we're pairing the stoopid people off with each other, there's less of a chance that they'll water down the gene pool by breeding with an otherwise bright person who may just have a head injury, or low self-esteem.

Kristen: You have more faith than I do. It's like Darwinism in reverse.

To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, "Stupidity will find a way."

Allyson: Man, who keeps forgetting to pull up stakes when they're the last one up the evolutionary ladder?

Kristen is off to dream the dreams of someone who sat on a toilet seat warmed by Eliza's bottom.

Heather Alayne, in Natter:

I discovered that on Oct 12, 2002, the sun rises in exact alignment with my computer's monitor so that it's right in my eyes before I've had enough coffee to deal with it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Amych, in Spike's Bitches:

I discovered last night that my lizard brain sounds exactly like Weebl.

Want boy! mmmmmmmm, boy! boyboyboyboyboy! BOY!

I'm now worried that I will never again get any, because I'll be giggling too hard at my id to take its directives seriously.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Non-spoilery, in Buffy:

Betsy:

You have to use Teamsters to move monsters, but Klingons are allowed to walk on their own?

God, union rules cover everything.

connie neil:

Only if the Klingons are members of SAG.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

connie neil (non-spoilery) in Angel:

I wish we'd seen more of his (Lorne's) psychic friend. Who doesn't work for the Psychic Friends Network. Are they related to the Super Friends?

Edit: And if you have a psychic friend, are you allowed to call her up and say, "I can't find the car keys. Give me a clue, huh?"

FayJay - not a spoiler, in Angel 1

Y'know, I was all over the Lorne/Angel last season - I'd kind of forgotten that. But they were very sweet and parental, and I pretty much wanted Angel to get over his silly Cordy idea (clearly a pink herring if ever there was one) and realise that the demon for him was right under his nose - all big & strapping & snarky-with-a-heart-of-gold-and-accessories-to-match.

Oooh! Me? Blimey. Just skipping over from Angel to deposit Matt's giggle-inducing take on the nature/nurture debate:

I figure Connor would take after whoever spent the most time with him. That being Holtz, his dominant personality characteristics seem to be cold hatred and holding on to pain, but it could have been showtunes appreciation and a flair for glossy fabrics if things had worked out differently.

Betsy in Literary:

Well, it's a problem. Because I can't throw away books. It's just Wrong. But I have no idea how one gets rid of bad erotica.

Wait, I'm in the Bay Area. There's probably a charity that does pickup. "Porn for the Homeless! Leave your books on the stoop in a plain brown wrapper!"

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

Betsy Hanes Perry: I once cast textbooks on a fire and danced widdershins about it with some friends, but that was a strictly private event.
