F2F Planning,
explaining LA weather:
Sometimes, it is really friggin hot, here, and you'll wish you could pull off your own skin to be even more naked.
Sometimes, it's so cold here, you might lose your mind and go Donner Party on your roommate instead of raiding the mini-bar.
Sometimes, it is alternately freezing ass cold, and hell's bowels hot, all on the same day.
Occasionally, it rains toads. Also, there are driveby shootings, so wear a bulletproof vest, as well. But make sure it's not flammable in case something explodes. And it should be waterproof, in case it mysteriously hails water balloons.
And then there are earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides.
We have weather. But mostly, it's 72 degrees and sunny.
I miss Massachusetts.
amych in Buffy (context be damned):
Yeah, right, who'd believe that? That's the kind of thing that only happens on the WB....
Maybe it's only COMM material if you're a James fan like me:
amych -- I just got viagra spam from Henry James. The world does not contain enough caffeine to enable me to count the ways in which that's just wrong.
An example of the above Jamesian Viagra spam, per

Has the décor of your amorous liaisons been suffering the dolorous lack of that which, were it to spring unbidden to life, as of old, would furnish it with the stiff rod of durance?
Angus Gordon continues on his roll in Un-Americans:
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned it's not a historical reality show until people start exhibiting symptoms of diseases common to the period in question.
Amych in Natter 12, context be damned:
It's not just you. My mind sees that and says, "ALIEN COCK TREE!"
I just woke my husband out of REM sleep with the crack of laughter produced by this one. Allyson in F2F, answering NoiseDesign's offer to pick people up at LAX:
ND: Ooo ooo ooo, is anyone coming into LAX around rush hour on a friday?
Allyson If he tries to use the freeway, bail. He'll be able to rob you, skin you, and make a drum out of your decapitated head before you get 10 yards down the 405.

Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness,
clearing up Griffyn's confusion about freedom vs civil liberties (sparked by this article):
"Freedom" is a good thing, and the US has more of it that anyone else. In fact, members of the American government have been known to say that they have all of the freedom. Civil liberties, on the other hand, are bad. Look at that word "civil". What does it make you think of? Things like "civil service" - we all know they're lazy and wasting the taxpayers' money. Or how about "civil engineering"? That's all about sewage. Clearly civil liberties are bad and have nothing to do with freedom.

Plei:
Not too shockingly, I though Cain got a bum deal. Also, the whole Esau thing? Stuck in my craw.

Ew. Hairballs.
