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.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

DX: Where did my sunny day go?
Nilly: DX, it's called 'night'. At least, that's where my sunny day went.

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

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.

'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"
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."

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

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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.

Mmm, Browder. I don't imagine the man wears leather pants every damn day of his life, more's the pity. Although you wouldn't be able to hear him talk over the squeaking he made as he walked.
