Allyson, going to bat for Firefly:
I just had a brief fantasy that we could collect a ton of cash, buy some stock in FOX, and when they canceled, move it to another network and tell them we'd put it back when and if there was a DVD. In my dream, we had a million dollars, and I had a tinfoil hat shaped like an ass.
flea sets it up, Aimee hits it out of the park.
What IS it with Meg Ryan? First Russell Crowe, and now John Cusack? There is something about that woman I'm not getting.
Yes, but most of the men in Hollywood are, it seems.
shrift:
I could listen to Hugh Dillon read the phone book. Mostly because he'd probably read two numbers and then go off on a very long tangent about felching and value-added tax.
Allyson, in Natter:
Stonehenge Depicts Female Genitalia, Researchers Say
This explains why it was so difficult for researches to figure it out. I bet over the gazillions of years people have been studying this, this is the first dude that ever saw female genetalia.
This is why it is so important to go down.
Erin G: I didn't want to ruin the friendship -- I wanted body shots off his nice chest, and some action.
That's friendly, isn't it?!
In Natter:
Ellen: The "-ma" thing has gotten to the point that when I was reading something with 'enigma' in it, my first thought was "What's an enig?"
Shrift: I want to see the episode in season eight where Mal and his crew are cornered by Reavers, and we finally get to meet the legendary madmen when a posse of them pop out of their ship and say, "We are space nihilists, Captain Reynoldsski, we care about nothing."
...and it turns out that the Reavers drive people mad with their effete, pseudo-intellectual posturing.
MechaKrelboyne: 'Shut up Simon. Do you have any frame of reference here? Then shut up!'
high plains grifter: "Reavers. Whew. Say what you want about Blue Hand National Socialism, at least it's an ethos."
In the literary thread, the conversation bounced back and forth between the latest Harry Potter and binge drinking. Hence....
Anne W.:This discussion has spawned quite a number of HP plot bunnies
Jess PMoon:Harry Potter and the Night of Five Butterbeers?
And then Steph L replied:
To an Irishman (and I say this being Irish), binge drinking doesn't mean you wake up with no recollection of how you got home; you wake up in *Spain* with no recollection of how you got there.
Betsy HP:
Popular Boys play trumpet. Popular Girls play flute. The runner-ups are French horn for guys, clarinet for girls.
What's with that? You'd think girls would go ape for guys who play woodwind, what with the flutter-tonguing. What can trumpeters do? Give you genital raspberries?
