I am not synesthetic, and I'm a plain old right-hander who has no trouble distinguishing left from right. I need a quirk.

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

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
It's the "bepanted" that makes it funny!

Besides. We still analyze OUTFITS from four seasons ago. Issues are doomed.

Definitely, Liz, esp. picturing some announcer saying it.

in fact, it could be that so much red herring will be thrown onto the screen, that Sunnydale will be able to open a specialty-fish sushi restaurant.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
RL, in Bitches:
If the world were as Idair would have it, there would be no struggle to write, and language would flow like, I dunno, honey, or something more fluid, but still sweet, from our fingers, not unlike this sentence, which will not stop going, because I am a dork.

Nutty natter, because I just can't resist a bad pun:
Did I tell the famous family "check engine light" story?
flea and I were driving out to Cincinnati for her to start grad school. (I should preface this with the fact that flea got her license about three weeks before this 700 mile drive, and also neither she nor I had ever driven that far.) And we are driving the former family rustmobile, a 1987 Subaru wagon, because mother upgraded and the sister who is going into the wilds of Ohio needs a car.
So we head out towards the wild wild west, and before we're in Hamden (CT), the check engine light comes on. And we're sort of nervous, and flea is very nervous, and it would be truly of the suck to get stuck in Nowheresville, PA with a dead car. So we pull over, 20 minutes into the trip, and "check the engine". But we're mechanical ignoramae, so all we know how to do to the engine is check the oil. Which is fine. And onward we go.
And onward we went, the check engine light on and off, the whole 700 miles. We checked the oil about 10 times that day, and of course every time it was fine. And then when we arrived in Cincinnati, we called up our mother, who was like, "Oh, yeah, Subarus have electrical shorts in the dashboard indicators all the time. It has nothing to do with the actual engine." Aieeee!
Anyway, before its sad demise, that car became known as Roxanne, because we really didn't want him to put on the red light.

Miracleman: I thought it meant "Give me a towel!"
ita: I thought it meant "Cold water shrinkage, I swear!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Theodosia in Natter on the Pirate Cruise of Running Away:
"Hey! When I promised you 'rum, sodomy and the lash' it was meant to be like a garnish! Not 'rum, sodomy and the lash in equal proportions' and most especially not 'rum, sodomy, sodomy, sodomy, sodomy, sodomy, and oh yes the lash too.' Now furl the mainsails or topgallant the mizzenmast or whatever, just get this boat pointed in some direction. I'll be down in my cabin with the rum."
