Jesse, I was just on my way to tag that. I second that tagging!
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Deena:
I'm thinking my credo is taking a little battering right now because I hate my children.
Betsy:
I've got your coat. If the Baby Jesus had our children sometimes he, too, would contemplate calling the gypsies to take them away.

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
Theodosia: It would be a kind of tea-towel wrapped around the head kind of blindfold, not a cute little biddy kitty bondage blindfold. I'm afraid I'm far too utilitarian to ever be a good dominatrix.

Sean K: I swear, those giant pixie sticks carry enough sugar to kill a grown man. Who eats those?
Holli: Teenagers, of course. I know kids who put that shit in soda, and end up awake for the next three days.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ita in Natter, showing off her maternal instincts:
Imagine the 18 month old who has to be in the room when his dad is teaching, and then goes over to kneel by him, arms crossed, mirroring his stance perfectly and pretending to watch over the class of green belts. Every now and again he takes a break to go hit the pad his mother holds for him, or to try and handle the fake knives. Even the big bad men were getting misty.
I want one just like that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Madrigal, on how to confuse Jehovah's Witnesses until they leave:
I just did my overobsequious routine, it involved stuff like offering coffee, then immediately remarking that I was sorry I forgot they couldn't have coffee, no wait, that's the Mormons, why can't they have coffee? Is that in the Bible somewhere? Do you know that passage? What version of the Bible do you use? A Vulgate? King James? Is it direct translation? I think we have cookies, are you allergic to nuts? There aren't any nuts in them, but everyone has allergies. I'd invite you into the lobby but there's a lot of perfume here and some people are allergic to perfume and does your religion allow you to wear perfume? That could be even more damaging than coffee. It's really cold outside, so maybe I could give you a thermos of coffee that's just really really diluted, or maybe some tea that has a lot less caffeine, but herbs, and herbs are witchcraft, and I think you're against that, but wait, it's the Mormons who can't have coffee. Why is that? (At some point I hope this approach gets them to blacklist me.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In Natter:
JZ: Interestingly, Kate has just stolen Emmett's socks, which action is apparently the first step in her plot for world domination.
Burrell: Reminds me of the underwear gnomes. Weren't they going to take over the world, one pair of underpants at a time? But as I recall, they hadn't really worked out Step 2 yet.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Cindy in Bitches:
We're Buffistas and when Giles took us out to the desert and did the Watcher Hokey Pokey and shook his cute little gourd and temporarily transferred his guardianship of us to our spirit guide, the spirit guide told us: Pedantry is your gift.

Theresa W. in Buffy (non-spoilery):
Truth be told, I'm totally convinced that James and Jesus were brothers. However, it is a little known fact that the Greek term "adelphos" can also refer to FRAT brothers. James, Jesus, Peter, Judas, etc. were all Alpha Omega brothers at Nazareth U. This is evidenced by a small inscription in the lower corner of the ossuary of James the Just. Loosely translated from the Aramaic, it means "Long Live Kegmeister Jimmy."

Damn, it's good to have Theresa back.

Madrigal Costello discussing LTRs in Natter 11:
[S]o far, close up attempts aren't working. The current obsession still appears clueless - right now the next step would be serenading him with Liz Phair songs in his office in a bikini and hip boots playing a lute, but he'd probably just think I was trying to get him to join a band.
