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.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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 a remora, dimwit.
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.

Susan W., in the Angel thread, white-fonted:
kind of wish Buffy were around, or we could see a phone conversation between her and Spike, just to get the following exchange:
Spike: So, here I am, yanked out of heaven--your mum and Tara say hi, by the way--and stuck with the Hairloaf and his evil lawfirm. What do you have to do to stay dead around here? You'd think dying to save the world...er...that is....
Buffy: Yeah, never seems to stick. Next time I'm going for random and senseless.

I'm getting the pig!
Phill re: clothing sizes in Natter:
Can't we just drop the numbers and go to a Garanimals based system:
At the theGap I'm a Kudu, but at Banana Republic and Express I'm an Ibex. I think I've gotten down to an Old Navy Narwhal though. Thank god, I don't think I could've faced myself if I had stayed at capabayra.
Oh, and they have to be odd animals, did I mention that?

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
Shawn: The basic point is this: women's bodies are highly variable
Phill: And AWESOME! Don't forget AWESOME!
