I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

'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"

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.

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.

Nobody

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.

Steph L. (context is for wimps):

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cindy in Buffy:

I miss Buffy talk. I watched that show. I don't even know what channels these other shows are on. Are they still called channels? What's the difference between a channel and a station? Should I just be saying network? If HBO is a cable network, what's ABC? Is it a broadcast network? Where does that highway go to? This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife.

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

SeanK: I mean, it can't be that hard to beat Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Coleman, and Larry Flynt.

billytea: I figure that once your arm settles into a pattern of rhythmic strokes, it probably becomes quite soothing.
