Madrigal's current tagline:
Ash Bush durbatulûk, ash Bush gimbatul, ash Bush thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Madrigal again:
That's why they consider Reavers to be so uncivilized. They don't microwave their people before eating them.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Threepeat! Loud would be my whoo-hoo-age were I not in a library.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Translation of the tag, for those of us geeky enough to recognize dwarvish but not geeky enough to speak it?
(it *is* dwarvish, isn't it?)
eta that i'm not geeky enough. oh, well, got the fandom right. knew it wasn't fyarl.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not Dwarvish -- it's the dark language that's inscribed on the One Ring:
One Bush to rule them all, one Bush to find them,
one Bush to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That's not dwarvish is it? It's Mordorian (or whatever). The "Ash" means 1 (cf "ash Nazg" means one ring)
Or, you know, what she said.

It's the Black Speech, Sauron's Middle-Earth equivalent of Esperanto.

All is well that ends in pizza.
That means some people can read it, but it's not spoken very often?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Madrigal on Fire! (with an assist from Matt, who's also been on a roll), Boxed Set:
Madrigal: So would this not be the place to mention that every time my bus passes the pet store with the "Frozen Companion Dinners" sale sign, I picture Inara defrosting a Swanson's for Ho's, and then have to keep from laughing every time my brain repeats the phrase "Swanson's for Ho's."?
Matt: This and Futurama have collided to give me the mental image of Inara going to market and buying a 25 lb. bag of Hooker Chow. Which I'm guessing would be the freeze-dried version of those little cookies and watercress sandwiches that are served with Tea.
Madrigal: "Hooker Chow.....Now With Tang!"

Madrigal:
I'm sorry about Mouse, but s/he seems to have had a good long life with loving people, and what more can a cat ask for, except for maybe a house full of furniture stuffed with catnip and an injured bird dispenser in the kitchen.
