ita: Extrapolate my ass.
Burrell: ita looks fine in a pair of pants. I can assume that she has a fine ass.
There, I just extrapolated ita's ass.
Moments like this, the reason I am actually reading 2000 messages instead of skipping...
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

From Natter:
ita: You do pro bono? Now I feel I should go get myself in trouble.
Shawn: We do pro bono for the needy, not the belligerent employed.

Jesse :
Because I'm not a baseball fan, but still a cynical Bostonian, I keep thinking, "Huh. They don't usually wait this long before choking."

Aimee in Bitches:
I bought one of those Swiffer duster thingies.
Cleaning equipment of the Gods, I tell you. Someone at Molly Maids got sacrificed for that invention.

Spoilery if you haven't seen this week's Angel, but another great tidbit from the Shawn and ita Show:
ita:I seem to remember about 5'6. Drastically shorter than just about everyone else on the Angel cast.
Shawn:Ah, the random disappearances get explained. They happen when he is too close to members of the cast.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Discussing JM's height and proportions in Angel.
SusanW: IOW, he's built like a typical male figure skater
Shrift: Now I'm envisioning Spike on skates in the Vampcapades, performing to the Sex Pistols.
BWAH!!!!!!!

Betsy HP, in response to a Buffista request for "the cautionary tale of the Sweet Young Thing and the Pumpkin Tablecloths":
I need this story.
Once upon a time there was a Sweet Young Thing. And she insisted on Pumpkin Tablecloths, even though the Wedding Planner, who had warned her about her Inappropriate Gown, told her they were gauche.
And just as the Sweet Young Thing stood up for her First Dance with her Own True Love (her new husband being out of the room), the spotlight picked out the minister buggering a dead goat on the centerpiece.
She was just mortified.

Thrive to spite them
Discussion of angels in Firefly:
Matt: I thought Uriel, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael were the four archangels?
Hil R: They are. Most of the -el names were angels of some sort, I believe, though some of them weren't. I've never heard of Ariel meaning "Light of G-d" before. Ari means lion, and -el means G-d, so I've always heard that one as meaning "Lion of G-d." (Although a google search did just turn up one hit for light, so I'm wondering where that comes from now.)
TonyG: So then which one is Jor-El?
Astarte: The one with the Gay Pride sticker on his ass.

From Bureaucracy:
amych comes up with a solution to the problem of naming Natter 17:
Natter 17: Welcome back, Nilly! We tried to set up a thread in honor of your favorite number as a lovely surprise for you, but then we had a punctuation war instead.
