Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

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 Natter:

Ellen S.: I would totally watch the whole primary-debate-etc. process if it were done like The Amazing Race.

Jess PMoon: Hee! A Detour is a choice between two tasks. In "smear," candidates must convince the public that their opponents are lower than pond scum. It's an easy task, and candidates will be able to finish quickly, but the backlash may cost them support later in the race. In "shine," candidates must convince the public of their own merits, without referring to their opponents at all. It will take longer, but candidates who complete this task will be able to ride the resulting wave of support all the way to the finish line.

'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"

JZ, on Pirates of the Caribbean:

Jack is unbelievably fabulous, but I got the very strong feeling that he is more a Jacksexual than anything else: totally, madly (and charmingly) in love with himself. He may dally with the emotions and private parts of various pretty young things of various genders, but his one true love is Jack, and none other shall dislodge his beloved from his heart of hearts. And bless him for it - nobody but himself is good enough for him, really.

I can't even.

Megan E.: I hope there is no meat eating going on tonight at the D&D game.

Elena: Okay, do you really want me to repeat that one to the boys when I get home?

Thanks for all the fish.

It's okay, Megan, he's a fellow Upper Canadian. He'll eventually move to the East Coast when Toronto is full of Newfoundlanders.

In case you missed it the first time around:

Ellen S: What happened to the Archaeology Section of the NY Times? (it used to be under Science, Social Science or some such)

DXMachina: You have to dig around for it...

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

JZ waxes lyrical in Bitches upon Why We Adore Jilli:

Other heroes, upon close scrutiny, turn out to have feet of clay - Jilli has feet of glitter clad in pointy-toed wicked granny boots with little bat wings flapping at the ankles.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Scrappy, context-free:

You got a mullet, I got Ozzy Osbourne waking up from a three-day- bender thing going. Together we will be like hair time travel to a day in 1983.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it

Rio: I'm the frolicky killah.
