Holli in Natter, on the question of the meaning of the word "Blaggard":
It's the sort of thing usually preceded by "Avast, ye" and followed by a bunch of "arrr"s.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What if Neo had taken a less, uh, religiously evocative hacker handle?

Always Anti-fascist!
Because Madrigal's Funny. In Natter: I'm still trying to figure out the odor issue. There are so many young'uns on the east side who rebel against good music and bathing, and get their blonde hair conrowed and their ears disked and who are continually wearing their Phish T-shirts, it almost makes me prefer the proselytizers who sit next to me on the bus. At least, they listen when God tells them to take a shower.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Deborah and thessaly in Natter:
I'll infiltrate them in a cloche
I'll sip Pernod, and throw la roche
I'll infiltrate them all! You'll see!
I do not like the bourgeois!
I do not like them down the hall.
I do not like them at the mall.
I do not like our culture's fall.
I do not like them much at all!
Obviously, Sam I Am, we have no choice but to abandon this pedestrian rhyme scheme and throw off the shackles of our opressors while living in small, drafty apartments and staging street theater.

Alas, I can only claim credit for the concept and first couplet. Thessaly did the rest, all by herself.

Jars, in Un-Americans, on the Buffy finale:
Cheers. Apparently I'm filling the Buffy-shaped hole in my life with salt and vinegar crisps, of which I've just eaten 4 packets.
What am I supposed to do with my Thursday nights from now on? I'll have to take up a new hobby like crocheting, or maybe I could join a church group.
See the trouble watching Buffy has kept me out of in my teenage years? I could be a manic, knitting, bible-bashing recluse, instead of the fine upstanding cynic of an atheist that I am today. Society owes Buffy a debt.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Allyson, in Natter:
Is it still a slur if the people don't exist anymore?
Like, "Look fool, I've had it up to HERE with your Mayan laziness!"
"No, you you didn't pass the air traffic controller exam, you asswipe, you've always been totally Donner Party when it comes to directions.
"You are so full of shit, you're fucking Aramaic."
I am *so* going to use the Donner Party line....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Plei, in Natter:
I have this theory, where Monica was Bill's beard to cover up the affair with Newt, which they knew Hillary would never forgive, and the whole Monicagate was rigged to distract from their sick and wrong tubby manlove.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Jesse: I've got to say, the "bar bar bar" thing cracks me up. I mean, it's thousands of years later, and we have all these words derived in various ways from the way in which the Greeks made fun of other languages. I mean, really. I want to see what becomes of yadda yadda.
