Sean: When the hell did curvy go out of style? I don't understand. Pencils are not sexy.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

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
Madrigal Costello: So while to most my birthstone is just a glorified sandpaper stone, I get to inwardly chuckle knowing it can unlock the gates of Hell.

Shawn (not in "Dude"):
One night my BF asked about my ring and I said I'd tell him the story of it. And I said, "this old man came up to me and gave me this ring. And he said, 'can you, uh, take this to mordor for me?'"

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

flea: Of course, at the time of the Iliad's composition the digamma was still in use, so Iphigeneia's name was really Wiphiweneia (or, I suppose, Wiphiwanassa - wanassa being the feminine of wanax, which means, roughly, 'lord').
amych: Let me guess. This is revenge for the mathy talk, isn't it?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Damn! DX got in with that one first....

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

"Foetal MacGyver" would probably have trouble filling a whole season. Only so many things you can do with just an umbilical cord. ...A telemovie, maybe.

TomW in Natter, on the real meaning of Amazon.com shipping estimates:
"Ships in 24 hours" - If I lean back in my chair, I can see a whole shelf of them.
"Ships in 2-3 days" - Ooh, Bob just threw the last one away to make room for a Segway, but I saw a couple at Walmart yesterday - you're good.
"Ships in 1-2 weeks" - That's enough time for the factory to make some more, right?
"Ships in 3-4 weeks" - The product has been recalled, the plans have been destroyed, the factory has been levelled and we sowed the ground with salt. Thanks for shopping with Amazon.com!

I was just thinking, as I half squished an ant and flicked it into the sink to rinse it down the drain that life is quite the disaster movie for the little beasties, isn't it?
