Cindy, on her debt to Scott Baio:
It was an autograph thing. I was completely crushed by much larger/older teenaged girls waiting in the line. When it was finally my turn, Scott had apparently run out of time and was supposed to leave. They said he had to stop signing and just shake hands to move the line along. I was crushed. He must have seen that. He said, "Can't I give her a kiss?" The handler said he couldn't because then everyone would want one. He gave me one anyhow. I floated all the way home.
That's why, no matter how much of a parody of himself he ever becomes, I'll always have a soft spot for Chachi.
Emily S.:
Dog names? Might I suggest 'Lola'? My mother always said it was a great test, as it would separate the "she was a showgirl" types from the "Met her in a club down in old Soho" types.
Hec beats me to the punch again. But it was a music thing, what did I expect?
In Natter:
DX: Where did my sunny day go?
Nilly: DX, it's called 'night'. At least, that's where my sunny day went.

They made their whole blankets from nothing!
P Moon:
Did I mention that I also bred the sheep and spun the yarn for mine? The
hardest part was genetically engineering them to grow sparkly black wool
with little shiny pink loops.
Steph L.: I love taking a drive on a Sunday afternoon, driving past a
field full of black-sparkly-pink-looped sheep, all grazing and frolicking...
JessicaMoon: They've spread to Ohio already? Damn, they're quick!
Steph L.:
Just like the killer bees...
JessicaMoon:
Only much much cuter. And woolly.
Hecubus explains a Hong Kong fantasy movie plot:
HK fantasies have notoriously ridiculous plots that make even opera sound like a Pinter play. So as I was bringing her up to date on the storyline, I was thinking how much Fay would like it: "That's Jet Li, the Swordsman. He's from the same sect as Brigitte who plays Asia the Invincible. But Asia stole the scroll of power to give ultimate supernatural power. However he had to castrate himself to get the power, which is why they keep calling Asia "he" when Brigitte is playing...him. Anyway, that's Master Wu who was held and tortured by Asia for years so he's mad, and those are the hooks he was hanging from. That's the swordsman's sister and the barbarian girl who throws snakes. Here's the tricky part, even though Asia is technically Jet Li's uncle, Asia and Jet have fallen in love through assumed identities. She tricked him by having one of her courtesans sleep with him. No, not Joey Wang - though she is unbelievably beautiful and is in love with Asia. No, Joey is a girl. That one. Right, so the male lead has fallen in love with his evil castrated supernatural uncle played by a beautiful woman."
Trudy, your missing poster is Sean K.
Because I love the graceful way he takes it:
connie neil: So, Wolfram, a career synonym for lawyer is monkey pimp? It explains so much.
Wolfram: Now
that's
going on my next business card. If you'll excuse me, I have to go corrupt some stray monkeys now.
A little further down in the same conversation:
Jess PMoon: NO MORE FUCKING MONKEYS. And I mean that in every way possible.
Wolfram: Hey, a guy's gotta make a living. Sheesh.
Gus, my secret boyfriend, but not my favourite (yet):
And some of you language purists would probably take exception to my beginning a sentence with a coordinating conjunction. Nor should you pass over this egregious abuse of the language. For it is hideous. Yet I have done so. Or so it seems.
