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?
Shawn:
The basic point is this: women's bodies are highly variable
Phill:
And AWESOME! Don't forget AWESOME!
Heather Alayne
(nee Finn?) in Bitches:
I have ordered my Halloween costume! Wheee. I'm going to be a cowboy (because I got here on time!), and my best friend will be an indian.
Phill:
Also, why would you have a baby and a parrot on either shoulder?
Theodosia:
It's tough to be a working mom and a pirate....
A very nice Hec moment, in Literary:
If the Rapture got rid of the fundamentalists and Freepers, then I'd be one of those guys paying money to breed a red calf in Israel.
The always effervescent JZ, in Natter. Context be damned:
I can't believe I'm wasting energy defending my application of the term "puke" to the stuff that was covering my skirt from hip to knee on Monday night. Other Buffistas get into a lather discussing everything from gerundives to Thomism to the finer points of constitutional law, and here I am saying things like "It was too puke! There was lots of it and it was old! Was too!"
Nutty in Literary on the Left Behind books:
Actually, yeah. Let's hope the guy at the switch at Three Mile Island is an asshole, huh? And the people who drive subway trains better be devil-worshippers. And it wouldn't be very nice of God to kidnap a pilot mid-flight, although I vaguely recall that happens in the first book, and God planned ahead and put a sinning pilot as a passenger on the plane.
So God is hopefully not as dumb as a basic summary puts across.
