Beverly: With both my pregnancies I'd had a stomach virus two days before I delivered, and when I went into labor I just assumed it was more g.i. cramps. Even the second time, when you'd have thought I'd know better. Of course the cramps eventually got more severe and regular, so that was a clue.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

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

Hey, I'm catching up...
Allyson: Sensei got horribly drunk and around 11pm grabbed the mike and started making up his own words to Piano Man. He was Sensei Man. "Oh give me a front kick (does front kick) I'm the Sensei Man..."
DX Machina: Not exactly Mr. Miyagi, is he?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
In Natter:
Nilly: Oh, Wednesday is kind of the Hebrew-calendar 'valentine's day'. Well, of course, there's no 'valentine', because that's a Christian saint, IIRC, but way before there was Christianity it was a 'love' day, with girls going to the vines to dance in white (borrowed) clothes, for boys to look at, and even before that there were some 'darker' roots to that custom.
Susan W. - Nilly, is that the one where one of the tribes somehow lost their young women, and were given permission to go kidnap some neighbor girls from a dance? Or am I wildly conflating obscure Bible stories with the plot of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?

Swouncing
And Susan is on a roll:
When I was old enough to be expected to sit quietly in church but too young to follow sermons well, I used to read those parts of the Bible that most interested me: the cleanliness laws in Leviticus, especially the ones about women bleeding and men "having emissions" (I think that's how the Living Bible put it), the Song of Solomon, and all the apocalyptic bits from Daniel and Revelation. Perhaps it's not that surprising that I'm a Buffista.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
In Angel, in May:
Gleebo: Days have names to them now? Huh. I just referred to them as the ones that followed the other one. Or as Buffy day, or Angel day. If they aren't one of the following they are drinking day.
P.M. Marcontell:
Isn't it odd?
I hear there are things called Weekends, where people with jobs live like me for two days before going back to hell, like Persephone, only scattered throughout the year.

Katie M: Organ-smearing? Look, there should be no organ-smearing in Harry Potter. I feel fairly sure of that. Unless it's funny.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Shrift, beautifully non-contextual:
Sometimes, there's really nothing worse than people who think they know you, but never really came close.

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

BHP: That's what really hit me: like Hemingway, the focus is on the woman as castrating bitch. You know, I don't have that kind of time. When I need a penis, I borrow it for the duration.

I am mere set-up
Trudy Booth: Why is she working when I JUST showed up to play?
MechaKrelboyne: Maybe because she's a ninja. but ONLY within the confines of the Interweb.
Elena: I'm so glad that I've lulled Mecha into a state of utter disbelief about my Ninjaosity. He'll never suspect it when I cartwheel across his lawn wearing orange pyjamas and kidnap his daughter...

In Natter:
Allyson: You're lucky the thread is closed, otherwise I'd go in and mop the floor with your arse, pal.
billytea: If any item were designed to defeat the purpose of mopping...
