Nilly: Whenever we named pets, we tried to make the names as long and complicated as possible. You could probably track a lot of my reading at the time through the names of the little birds-in-a-cage that were 'born' at our home.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

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

If I only had a brain...
Me:
What is WITH Lush, anyway? They've been discontinuing stuff like drunken sailors.
Jacqueline: imagines a 17th-18th century island tavernkeeper and his wife shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, inn's right tore up now, aye, but 'tis nothing to the visit of Captain Jack in aught three. Hadn't been ashore in nigh six months, an' 'steeth, but his men went wild. Threw a bath bomb through the Lord Sheriff's window, salt scrubbed all the tavern wenches, tore through Lush and discontinued all the glitter, all the lavender, all the ginger. Never seen nothin' like it afore, never hope to see the like again."

To every idea a shelf...
In a discussion of tear-jerking Buffy moments...
Cindy:
Dear Santa (aka Father Christmas),
Please disregard the horribly wrong statements by UTTAD, Matt, and brenda. They really aren't on drugs. It's the heat and the humidity. They love the class protector award scene; they just done had their brains melted.
Love,
The Buffistas
Steph L.: The REAL reason we don't get a season 8 of Buffy? Joss heard what UTTAD, Matt, and brenda said, and he got pissed, took his jump rope, and went home.
Ken Buddha: Also, it made the baby Jesus cry. And write Little House slash. It doesn't get much worse. maybe Smurf/My Little Pony

Nobody
maybe Smurf/My Little Pony.
Oh God, my eyes! My eyes! Though really, I should have known once I heard about the Lego Porn that those little blue excuses for a children's cartoon were going to start causing trouble.

Natter, but the Two Towers are Barad-dur and orthanc. The whole book is about the journeys to those towers.

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

RE: The Two Towers DVD....
Astarte: Went out and got mine tonight.
I've watched all the special features, and licked the cover...
Not necessarily in that order.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Jess P Moon: Does anyone know what the blue ingredients on the Lush website are? The little guide thing says:
"Black: Safe Synthetic Products
Red: Natural Products
Green: Organic Products
...but most of the ingredients are in blue! What does blue mean?
Cass: Made from organic Smurfs?

Context? We don't need no stinking context!
Nutty in Natter:
Gonorrhea, or stepping on cat toys in the night and shrieking? For me, the latter happens much more often.
