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

In Literary:

sarameg: Anybody else read Lois Lowry's Summer to Die?

Kate P: Yes, when I was in 7th grade and happened to be getting a lot of nosebleeds. Thank you, Ms. Lowry, for convincing me I was going to die of leukemia.

(Thanks Nilly, who isn't lazy like me!)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Teppy in Bitches:

I'm buying $500 worth of chocolate after work. Maybe $1,000.

So if you never hear from me again, know that I died by cocoa poisoning.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Micole, in Literary:

I once started writing a horror story based on that idea, because I ask you, who finds a drowned corpse, extracts the ribcage, and makes a musical instrument out of it? Really creepy elfin harpers, that's who.

in Natter, after being asked for sex or math talk:

Sean K: If fourteen people are in an orgy, and six of them are women (all bi) and three of the men are bi, and one of the men is gay only, how many orafices will be filled with please, how many people are going to have to also take care of business orally?

Betsy HP: Fuck migraines until they no longer have an orifice. [TOTAL CROSS-POST! NOT A FOLLOW-UP! I SWEAR!]

in Bitches, the inimitable Billytea reflects upon the Purple Polar Bear story in the news right now:

It's a great story. I imagine the bear having an Oz-like reaction to waking up and finding itself purple. Calling back home to see if its nephew's purple, that sort of thing.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Billytea:

And remember, it's 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' and in the case of deities and atheists, who apparently get to make up their own rules.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh I loved it enough to save it for tagging but I forgot to COMM. Will billytea ever forgive me?

Um, San Diego has all sorts of critters...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Fun With Biology, from Bitches;

Emily: And, uh, hey, those fish that change sex? How do they do that?

Nutty: They save up a lot of money, and then they fly to Thailand for a little operation.

Natter 14:

ita: I keep ambling around Friendster thinking "You're too pretty to need a date. Go away." and "OMG. I'd die of embarassment if knew I wanted you to bone and toss."

high plains grifter: Bone and toss...is that one of the new events in the Highland Games?

ita: Show me your caber and we'll talk, laddie.
