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.
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.

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.

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

Ew. Hairballs.

Always Anti-fascist!
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Natter. There WAS no context. That's why they call it Natter.
Teppy: Mushrooms are of the DEVIL.
Hec: Well, hell gets all the good cuisine. At least from the instances of Ambrosia and Divinity I've tasted at midwestern picnics.
Teppy: I should clarify: musrooms grow in the Devil's ASS.
Hec: Doll, if that's where they kept the morels I'd be (white for squeamies)felching Satan.

I'm getting the pig!
In B'cracy -
Aimée - Cindy, I am now singing "La Ista, Buffista" in my head. Madonna would *not* be happy.
Cindy - Yeah but somehow, she'd find a way to market her unhappiness, so it's all good.
I fell in love with Buffistas
Warm wind carried on the sea, they called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed my modem would last
They typed so fast
Tropical the island breeze
All Buffistas wild and free
This is where I long to be
La ista buffista
And when the f/c/m they played
The bar they'd set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your porny lullaby
Aimée -
We want to be where the orb warms the sky
When it's time for the HoYAY!, you can watch them slash by
Beautiful fiction, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves another boy.
