making me giggle and whistful simultaneously...
Katie M: I'm running out of mobile great-aunts, though. Just when I was finally reaching a point when I could tell them apart.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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

utterly nattery, but, hey, I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger around here anymore
erikaj: Oh, and I'm official Gimp White Trash, having tied my footpedal on with old nylons...next I'll have a chair up on blocks in the yard.
My husband would like to warn erika not to try the blocks trick in our town, as he spotted a tow truck today with a chair on its hook. No mercy on the illegally parked, no, sir.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Madrigal in Natter:
I tend to have such bad luck with haircuts that I don't specifically try for good ones, I just put it out to the universe I'm looking to lose some of it, and eventually someone comes along with a pair of scissors. And sometimes they cut my hair.

Allyson: What's Gollum's problem?
DX: He spent five hundred years with a ring that was sucking his soul. And it wasn't even a wedding band.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Further Allyson goodness from Dude:
Gollum is definitely doing the Sybil thing, right? Multiple personality disorder? Was he a hobbit once and now is an example of "this is a hobbit. this is a hobbit on rings. any questions?"

'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"
high plains drifter, discussing minor characters from The Silmarillion:
Likewise, we can't forget Fellatrixie, a lovely elvish maid of the forest who was popular with all the Noldor. She later became remarkably popular with both Dwarves and Men. She taught the fair Luthien much of her lore, which was a boon to Beren One-Hand. Legend has it that Feanor gave her more than a few of his first attempts at Silmarils, which she later wore on a custom made Dwarvish tongue-stud. She it was who lapdanced within the Halls of Mandos, giving many recent arrivals to those gloomy environs a renewed spark.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm wondering where the dead chickens are that died to employ me.
