Angus G in Natter. I become a complete fascist when the subject of coffee comes up.
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

Elena in Movies:
We also watched Igby Goes Down - which I quite enjoyed - and Shanghai Knights - for which I started to blame the producers, director, writers, and actors, but then quickly expanded my blame to reach their parents, grandparents, and every man, woman, and child who saw this movie and did not see fit to protect the rest of the world by destroying the film at the expense of their very lives if need be.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Calli in Natter, on the joy of chocolate covered coffee beans:
The first time I tried chocolate covered coffee beans I figured they were chocolate covering coffee-flavored centers, not actual coffee beans covered in chocolate. I ate half a bag of them in 15 minutes while watching a Jackie Chan movie. In the front row of the theater. With serious JC fans.
I figure I don't really need to try speed now.

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
Deena:
Kara has a play phone. A couple of days ago she was playing with it, making calls. "Hello Nana! How you? Nice to talk. Bye!" and then she called her Daddy, and then her Grandad, and then she decided to talk to her big brother. "Hello Nick! How you? Come home? What? WHAT YOU SAY? (making a banging motion with the telephone handset) YOU ASS, YOU ASS, YOU ASS."
Yeah, she gets her telephone etiquette from me.

Cashmere:
I've been having brain fades for the last two weeks. I've been reading that pregnancy makes your brain shrink. That would explain a lot about my mother.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
The joys of genre fandom, from Literary:
Nutty: I read the Koontz book about the people in the town disappearing. It was plenty scary -- till you find out that the scary villain is a giant sapient mushroom. After that? You know, I just don't have nightmares about being chased by an evil all-consuming truffle.
Calli: Wasn't that an X-Files episode?
joe boucher: Wasn't she the big bad of S5?
Nutty: Actually, yeah, but that was a giant sapient hallucinatory mushroom.

If I only had a brain...
Raquel: I plowed through pretty much every Koontz book written up until '91 during one summer of much exercise-biking. I will never ever ever forgive him for using the phrase "his well-oiled piston of lovemaking."
Amych: Eww, eww, eww! What is wrong with these writers today? Why can't they just speak plainly? Why the need for these euphemisms? What, I ask you, is wrong with just coming out and saying "his throbbing manhood"?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
In Natter,
Phill: Did you know today was National Kick An Old Lady Day? Well, it is cuz I just made it up.
billytea: In that case, I declare tomorrow to be Festoon A Gnome With Bacon Rind Day.
