Gus: I managed to get bitten by a monkey. This is especially wonderful, since the Republic of Congo has experienced the most recent outbreak of ebola virus; which virus being very large with hitch-hiking among the monkeys. Luckily, there are al sorts of WHO doctors around (we're visiting a WHO installation) that are sure there was no more than usual nasty monkey-bite crap going on.

I am applying for any open position in Cindy's No Monkey Brigade.

Madrigal: Wow, of all the things I've been bitten by, monkey is still not on the list. Sending quick healing vibes your way - though if that monkey were some genetically modified radioactive primate - you could end up with some nifty new abilities and be able to embark upon a new career fighting crime.

billytea - Not sure if there's really such strong demand for a superhero whose special power is hurling faeces...

Theo: billytea, with a super-power like that, what villain would be so stupid as to want to mess with Man-Monkey?

billytea - You'd think, but by the same logic no one should ever have kids, so...

smonster in Buffy (non spoilery):

Leave it to Joss to know what I want better than I do.

Beth, that's not really spoilery unless people still don't know the show is going off the air.

just being overly cautious

In Bitches:

Teppy:

I don't know if I'd let someone nibble on my scar.

Clearly I still have some healing to do, because my back just spasmed at the idea of being nibbled on.

Licking would be okay, though.

erikaj:

readies tongue. "No, Mom, all Buffistas say hello like that. They'll think I'm a jerk if I don't...it's a thing."

Betsy, being wise in Natter: Nothing is more touching than the beliefs of the pregnant about What Parenthood Will Be. Parenthood is what sneaks up behind you in dark alleys with a sock full of quarters.

KevinK, in Buffy 4 (spoilery bits whitefonted):

Coming from lurkdom and reading a long threadsuck to say I loved this episode. But I'm suprised that no one's mentioned the biggest shock from this episode:

That Caleb's now bisectual.

runs away quickly before things can be thrown

BWAH!!!

My first COMM! Thanks, DX

Maysa, in Buffy (nonspoilery):

everything powerful and awesome about women and men is whitefonted in America right now. Because, let's face it, women's appearance may be obsessed over in every tv show, every movie, every magazine--but our beauty is ignored.

To return the favor, this cracked me up.

Steph L. in Buffy (Spoilery) about Spike--

I feel like it was a little bit of a spotlight stealer. Show not called "Spike." Also, it was a little cheesy -- "I can feel my soul." Yeah, dude, we ALL can.

Also from the Buffy thread, this from Gleebo. (non-spoilery)--

As consistant as Joss Whedon has been with television programming, ME actors have been with bad hats.
