'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"

Madrigal:

There's only one glut of birthdays in my family, and it's just us six girls are born within two weeks of each other. In fact, my mother has said that we all had the same due date - end of February, but we just differed in how early we were from Bitey's six weeks to Biggie's scant two. As far as I know, we were all planned, it was just that about five of us were the wrong gender. It's like instead of conceiving a child, they ordered a pizza, and have been pissed off for decades that it had peppers and not sausage.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

JessPMoon in Bitches, and context be damned for the quote of my day:

Haggis make war monkey strong!

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

Steph L: Hustlin' Quakers -- Earlham College (I've never seen a Quaker hustle, but now I *really* want to)

High Planes Grifter: New in town, sailor? Nothing is better for thee than me.

Billytea (being billytea) : Right now I'm still finding the disinfectant very cool. It's hydrogen peroxide, but over the course of six hours it reacts with an item attached to the lens holder to turn into ordinary saline. Clever stuff.

PMM: Houses don't wait until you can afford it to have problems.

Angus: On the contrary, houses wait very deliberately until you can not afford it to have problems!

From the inauguration of the new Minearverse topic:

hayden:

Hey, a Tim thread. Shouldn't we vote on things like this?
(/kidding)

Betsy HP:

<murders Hayden in a heartbreaking and yet Timlike fashion>

hayden:

Hi, I'm back after being stuck in a hell dimension for the last 434 years! Sure, it only seemed like 10 minutes, but I got to experience every last second. Oh, and I'm even more evil now, although y'all won't find that out for another 200 posts.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Steph L.:

But the West Coast wouldn't know what to do with me.

Aimee:

I've got a book!

I suggest pages 23, 34, 78 AND 79, and, with some organic whipped cream, page 105.

(Bitches, of course.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Fay explains the similarities between her writing style and Jane Austen's, in Bitches:

No, the thing is, I'm not trying to be outrageous. I mean, I could do outrageous for its own sake and write ghastly perversity. But I'm pretty much writing a straight novel. Well, straight in the sense of beginning, middle, end, plotty plot plot, relationships, plotty plot plot, Big Gay (plot-related, character developmenty, also fun to write) Sex, plot plot plot, denoument, blah blah -- as opposed to random gratuitous shaggage. It is, in fact, very loosely based on Pride and Prejudice. Very loosely. And I'm cheefully writing it, and then suddenly struck by the fact that actually, some people might be a trifle unimpressed by the inclusion of rimming.

In Bitches, Hec's nape fixation finally catches up with us all...

Aimee

I want to go really short with my hair, so I searched for short hairstyles.

Somehow, I ended up with a bajillion Porn pop-up windows.

Hec

Oh no! I've frelled the Google index.

JohnSweden, on Cuba Gooding's continued career slide:

I'm just thinking that if you break through into the cultural consciousness by repeatedly screaming "Show me the money!", your delicate artist's soul may not survive the hazards of Hollywood for the long haul.

I will no longer patrol the spellings of condiments with such vigilance.
