Shrift, beautifully non-contextual:
Sometimes, there's really nothing worse than people who think they know you, but never really came close.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

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
(long ago in Literary)
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.

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
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...

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

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...

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Jesse: HEY! Do we have Buffista notification plans in place, Burrell and flea?
Allyson: Sure. Kat will call Burrell, and as per usual, if she does not answer, Kat will automatically assume she's had the baby and call the hospital to confirm. At which point, she'll tell lori, and then ita, and I'll hear about when I get an invite to Monkeypants' first birthday party, and I'll think to myself, "you know, I thought Burrell looked thinner the last time we had brunch."

Allyson: I have no idea what happened in Ergo class. There's a worksheet and a tape measure involved, and maybe a tuning fork and a banana.
scrappy: Sounds like a bad date.

To every idea a shelf...
Enabling in Literary...
meara: I'm trying to decide if I need new bookcases for my new apartment, and if so, how many.
I really need to replace one which is falling apart, but I strongly suspect I could fill another, also...hmmm.
Katerina Bee: Answer: Yes, yes you do need new bookcases. How many = as many as will fit into your home. Don't forget to measure odd spaces in corners and between doors, in case a narrow shelf can be forced into this space. Warning: This project may test your math skills (Honest, honey, I was SURE it would fit right here...)
Signed, out of shelf space & into piling books on the floor again, living vicariously through the new shelves of others.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Requesting a spelling correction to "eventually", please, in post #4175. Thanks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Done!
