Shit, why don't they just fucking add "can talk to animals, loved by everyone, excellent singing voice" to the list of job qualifications. The job title is Documentation Specialist, but it might as well be Mary Sue.

Nilly, in Firefly, upon seeing and describing her reaction to the pilot episode, Serenity:
You know what? It's a good thing Joss isn't into politics, because he managed to make such a wide-eyed gasping holding-to-every-word little girl out of me in an hour and a half, I don't want to think what he may be able to do if he really wanted to get my attention. And he made me like made-up people, like them enough to want to know what happens to them next, and happened to them in the past.
Beth's DH: A car with a Start button? Is Bill Gates involved somehow? shakes head as he contemplates Mazda getting borged by MS
Daniel C. Jensen: Yes, and to shut it off, you have to press the start button, select "shut down" with the gear shift and then wait 10 minutes while it tells each component under the hood "good night."
And there's the Blue Windscreen of Death, which happens often with no warning and you lose all your momentum until...
Anyone who knows the ID of "Someone", please feel free to edit me, as I have to go.
Edited to turn "Someone" into someone.
eta: That was DCJ

Trudy, in Bitches:
I'm big with the God of the Hebrews but he NEVER does that. He sends angels to whisper in your ear to knock you up, there's just no foreplay.
JZ:
Does one really have to apologize for thinking Jags are pieces of shit? From what I've heard from people who own Jaguars (or, mostly, read, since I don't actually know that many Jag owners), this is common knowledge. The Jaguar is universally accepted, even by those who love it, as a car of singular beauty and fragile health, the consumptive of the automotive world, forever turning its sleek and rosy chassis to cough up delicate spatters of various oils and lubricants into its lace-trimmed Italian leather handkerchief.
I think Trudy's line (which juliana commed in #4128) is funnier if you have the quote she was replying to:
amyparker:
I had a long talk with the Goddess about all of this last night, and the upshot was that if She doesn't take steps to make sure that the monthly amusement does not give me grief in the midst of all this, She was going down.
Trudy Booth:

Madrigal, on his performance in Daredevil:
Affleck was okay at portraying someone with a handicap, though he seemed unable to portray someone for whom that wasn't some form of mental retardation.
billytea: Meanwhile, cheery news of the day: Your body (yes, yours) contains about 10 trillion cells.
1 trillion of them are human.
Carry on.
Cindy: What are the other 9 trillion?
billytea: Bacteria, mostly. The swingin' hot spot is the lower digestive tract.
Yes, you are outnumbered. Just keep sending down the twinkies and no one gets hurt.
