All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
An example of the above Jamesian Viagra spam, per Angus G.
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!"

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
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.

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

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

Hec, in Natter, context be damned(although maybe I should have snagged the whole pod people conversation, in addition.) It should be noted that DXM was already an adult in the early 70s, so not as prone to laying around on Saturday morning in his jammies huffing Apple Jacks and watching The Mighty Isis.
