Gonorrhea, or stepping on cat toys in the night and shrieking? For me, the latter happens much more often.

Nutty's on a roll. Here she is discussing sanity in fandom (and the lack thereof):
In sum:
Thinks Joss is incredibly cool, and deserves the honorary title of god: OK
Thinks Joss is really a god, and can control the fates of people in Cleveland: Not OK.
msbelle:
ita can have a bastard child too!!!ita:
runs out to get pregnant
realises she'd have to miss krav
crosses legs
ErikaJ: I have anger sometimes that could send Alanis back to Canada.
Madrigal Costello: You could claim that you're lisping because of dental injury obtained during the physical defense of a client. I think people would like the idea of someone in the legal business willing to take a punch for someone else.

StephL: (Nuts. Hec edited to make me look crazy.)
Hec: Editors have the power to make anybody crazy.

Must be COMM'd:
KAT PEREZ: Woo. Y'all and the names have been cracking me up. I needed a good laugh after the longest day in history. All future parents should avoid the following names:
Velveeta (This is my friend's real name, on her birth cerificate)
Precious and Pebbles (Twins in my 3rd grade class)
San T. Claus (High school classmate. Don't know what the T stood for, but really, why?)
Tige Juan (Also high school classmate. First name is pronounced "Ty")
My personal favorite is a kid from my aunt's class. She saw the name on her class list and had to ask the mom how she came up with it. The mom said that they hadn't been able to decide on a name, but when they brought the baby home from the hospital, they discovered that the nice hospital people had done it for them. They really liked the name on the birth certificate, so they kept it. The name: Female. They pronounced it feh-MAH-lay.
-t in Natter, a double-header:
And I am also looking forward to Jake 2.0 and I don't know why. I am weak for nanotechnology, I guess. Just say the word, and I am entranced. Like titanium. I will spend twice as much for anything if it has some titanium on it or in it.
My cats respect my tool-using mammal status because I control the can opener, the doors, the window, and the laser pointer. My dog just thinks I am wicked cool because I let him hang out with me. Both attitudes are pleasant.

Aimee, I've been married twenty years and he still doesn't do it without a snarled demand.

Hil R: I feel like such a geek. I just had to call my mother because I realized that the only graphing calculator I have here is a TI-82, and I'm going to be taking Complex Analysis this semester and the TI-89, which I do own, would be very helpful. I asked her to send it to me if she found it anywhere, and listed a couple places it might be. She said, "I'm looking for a TI-83, right?" and I said, "No, the TI-89, but I do have an 83 somewhere too, and that would be better than the 82. There's also an 85 that I think might be on the bookshelves downstairs, and I think I had an 86 at some point but I'm not sure where that is." Then there was a long pause, and she asked why I owned five graphing calculators and I couldn't quite answer that.
