Leigh in Un-American:
there's not a lot of things I wouldn't do to service my caffeine addiction, but I think I can safely say that having someone's decapitated head floating in my coffee would at least make me ask for extra sugar.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Madrigal in Natter, about Buffistas wedding:
Though this does you've got to get Christophe Beck to compose some music for the festivities, and get a copy of the wedding dress Buffy wore in S3, and instead of a bouquet toss, drop a hot naked guy from the ceiling and see which bridesmaid gets to him first.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
In Natter, ongoing discussion after the announcement of the pending nuptials of Ms. Zahas and Mr. Smay, on prospective collective, singular and plural versions of their name(s)--
JZ: Zmayhas
Betsy: Zmayhae!
DXM: Hee, I read the exclamation point as an L, and thought: Call me Zmayhael.
Deb: (imagining JZ doing herself up with head to toe painted body tats and a corset for her wedding, and calling herself Jacqueg....)
Sean: Ooh. Like some obscure angel.
Zmayhael, sometimes a woman, sometimes a man, sometimes both at once, always with an unearthly foaminess, Guardian of the One True Joss, Protector of 'Scapers far...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Sophia, more on the blending of Smay and Zahas, plural form, for posterity:
Zmayhems!
This is perfect! Will you let us name your children, too?

Further, a word from Mr. Smay:
You are all absolutely insane. That noted, Zmayhae has a certain classical greek feel that I find appealing, but Zmayhem is the only thing that trips off the tongue with quite the same odd bounce as The Miracleborns.

If I only had a brain...
Zmayhem was mine; Sophia was responding. IJS.
Signed, credit-whore
[And I'm pretty sure I wasn't the first to suggest Zmayhae.]

Sean was the first one to come up with Zmayhae ( Sean K "Natter 12: We've said it like a dozen times" May 12, 2003 8:01:14 pm EDT).
I was sorry nobody seemed to want Zahecubus.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, I know. Sue me...

There was an experiment. :(
I bought a thing of the bake mix, and there was a recipe on the side. I'm a sucker for on-package recipes. Will I ever learn?
As the loaf came out of the oven, I could hear it saying "every moment I live is agony".

Matt on the future according to Star Trek:
This is part of the price they pay for eradicating my people in that particular future. Without fashion designers and interior decorators, it's all fluorescent lighting, neutral walls, spartan furnishings, and daywear that looks like unflattering pajamas.
