Hecubus:
Why did I buy my son a joy buzzer? Why? This was not a good idea.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

In Natter 14, talk turn to the California recall ballot/election
Betsy HP:
Furthermore, there's a rumor that Arianna Huffington is considering running in the recall election. Whoo-bloody hoo!
brenda:
Oh, that would be so fabulous if Arianna ran. And if she was one of the only lefties to appear on the ballot, the flood of conservative candidates might drown each other out.
Arianna for governor!
(Now wishing I lived in California.)
Hec:
Arianna for governor!
No fucking way. I don't care how much she repents. She ran Michael Huffington's asstastic campaign as his wife/beard. Why anybody would believe she has any other agenda except to be near power I can't imagine.
Plei:
Went to Africa. Got a soul.
Oldest story in the book.

In Angel Spoilage Lite (casting spoilery):
Burrell: Okay, I have no problems with giving away the casting except that I think they are overselling the Spike factor.
Daniel C. Jensen: Yeah, I think it should be called Angel: The First TV Show for Men.

Nutty, in FF: R,W+E:
I have read stories where the pairing was irrelevant due to plot choices, where authors have warned that there was no salient pairing. This drives me bananas, because I never warn people that I do not drive a tank. I just show up, not driving a tank, and assume people will clue in and live with it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
deborah grabien:
You wouldn't know it by me; I was taught to say precisely what I thought and I always do. My father's take on it was "they're going to try and sit on your because you're a girl, so tell them to piss off and say it loud and say it very clearly, so that there's no possibility of misunderstanding later." So I do, and sometimes I get in trouble, but the nice thing about being raised to be this confident? I stand by what I say, unless I say something really stupid and someone shows me why and how it's stupid. Then I say "wow, I'm a moron, dude, I missed that one entirely."
But I don't do passive aggressive. Generally? Almost completely aggressive. As are most of the women in my family.

There a town called "Dream Lover" off the Pennsylvania Turnpike going west. I always wanted to get off, but it said no reentry. To much commitment for me.

And yet it sparked scores of vacation promotional slogans from us: Come vacation in Mianus! Mianus is lovely this time of year! So many people have visited Mianus -- why haven't you? etc.

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
Beverly: Horneytown. IJS. Actually, it's no longer an official town, even unincorporated. It's just a crossroads now. But it used to be a town!
High Plains Grifter: And with Bob Dole's little blue pills, it could be a town again!
