Trudy, about Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich’s “sick and wrong tubby manlove”
I have a theory, Newt was his honey...
Honeys aren't all cute like everybody supposes
Some are nasty red-neck freaks with big fat puffy noses
And what's with all the Contracts?
And why have one with America-a anywayyyyyy?
erika's asstastic spirituality in Bitches:
I often think I should get serious about something spiritually, cause right now I've got Half-Assed Christianity and Half-Assed Buddhism floating around similtaneously...I need a path my whole ass likes.
Ken Buddha, in Spoilers (not spoilery)
Elizabeth Rohm on Angel makes Elizabeth Rohm on L&O look like Laurence Olivier.
Megan really should have included her set up, as I just took what she posted and ran with it:
I agree with Sue's assessment of Charisma's acting, however, compared to Elizabeth Rohm, she's Laurence Olivier.
billytea, in Bitches, as part of a discussion that sprang from an NPR story on a group of conservative Christian cattle breeders trying to genetically engineer a pure red heifer without spot or blemish, which is necessary to bring on their version of the Apocalypse:
And anyway, the Bible says the day comes as a thief in a night, not as a lab tech in a white coat shaking a test tube of bull's semen.
Allyson in Natter:
You know, I don't want to be a friggin administator. Every scientist here asks me why I don't get my degree so I can be an administrator.
First of all, "I have a BA," I say.
"Well, why wouldnt you just go get a business degree, then? They say.
I say, "Why don't you go get a degree in nursing?"
They look puzzled.
"See, you dont get a degree in nursing because you dont WANT to be a nurse. Just like I dont get a degree in Business Administration because I don't WANT to be an administrator." I explain.
"But it's more money." they reason.
"OK, but see, when I die and go to hell, i won't burn, i will be forced to balance spreadsheets all day. That would be hell. And so. If I had to go balance a spreadsheet, the next sound you would hear would be the bullet going through my skull."
"But wouldn't you get more money as an administrator?" they say.
"I would get more money as a whore, because I have all of my teeth." Okay, I actually don't say that.
Nora Deirdre, in response.
What do I know from back alley, cash only fellatio?
And she seemed like such a nice girl.
Hee. I notice that you've expunged her insistence that the answer is 'nothing'.
Quotable is quotable. Qualifications be damned.
TomW puts the button on Nora's quote:
Hmm, only time I post all day and my girlfriend's right there talkin' about whorin'! It's enough to drive a man to hard liquor and word puzzles.
