I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

thessaly, in Buffistechnology:

DXM is a computer god. Bow down before DX in all his might and splendor, for someday you too may find yourself with a wonky hard drive and lo, your data shall be as dust scattered to the four winds and there shall be much weeping, gnashing of teeth, and hurling of objects.

But if your heart is true and your purpose pure, your hard drive may yet be restored. DX leadeth me through the Valley of the Windows Configuration and I shall fear no Blue Screen of Death, for DXM hath told me that my swap file was the problem and he is all-knowing and probably able to wrestle alligators as well. He beateth the Software Gnomes with a Phillips-head screwdriver and it's FG.

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

Deena: Kara is dressed for clubbing today. She picked out her pink sweater dress which is now a wee bit short, a pair of knee-high pink tie-dye socks and her ankle length black boots.

Kat: I told my kids, "This would never happen if you were at a mostly wealthy white school in the Valley."

"Yeah, Ms. G, it's a conspiracy. They're trying to deny us our education."

"No, it's not, honey. A conspiracy means it was planned in advance. These people can't plan. It's just systemic institutional racism."

Then I taught them these vocabulary words:

systemic racism
plausible deniability

To every idea a shelf...

In Previously (quoting myself for context)...

Emlah: Quick question... rewatched the Faith arc in Season 1 Angel, and I'm confused. How come Angel could get into that apartment to save Wesley? I'm pretty sure it's stated that the owner is alive in the hospital. Did I miss something really simple? Or do I need to fanwank and move on?

Katie M: The popular fanwanks are a) the owner died or b) Faith living there for three hours made her a resident, and thus her open invitation to Angel earlier in the episode counted as an invitation into the apartment.

Emlah: Hmmm. I think I'll go with b).

RobertH: That must liven up TPTB's day.

"Hey, someone with close ties to vampires just beat someone up severely and is now squatting in his house. How long should I set the doorway timer for?"

"Hang on, let me go get my dice."

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

They're duelling over Jack Sparrow/Johnny Depp in Movies:

P.M.M.: Damn it! HANDS OFF MY BIG GAY PIRATE!!! WE HAVE BUCKLES TO SWASH!

Sue: In Johnny's case that would be buckles to swish.

Mechakrelboyne: Still, it's not a good day. For paintball, or nekkid women. Classic case of combining two good things to get one horrible thing. I like paintball, and I really like nekkid women, but jeez that's one of the more contemptible things I've heard in a while.

Fred Pete: "Eeeewwww" and "It's a free country" can co-exist in the same mind.

Glitter comes to mind.

Calli: But this game, which as was mentioned earlier, gives you points for beating the crap out of people, is apparently perfectly fine with his church.

Billytea: Apparently his church now views the occult as a more significant market competitor than random violence. It's heartening, in its way.

Youse guys are funny when you're annoyed

Steph L: I adore MarioKart, and that's pretty much my extent of video game expertise/knowledge. Nobody dies in Mario Kart, not even Luigi, who is annoying enough that he ought to at least get his foot run over or something.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
