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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Plei in Angel Spoilers (not spoilery for those who've seen current episodes of Angel, or probably even the Season 4 finale):

Then there's the whole "We've replaced their regular memories with Folgers Crystals! Let's peek with our hidden camera and see if they notice!" angle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Matt, can you note what that's spoilery up to? I know that some of the stuff you talk about in there isn't NAFDA spoilery, and I'd hate to miss a good witticism.

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

[edited for clarity]

It is not spoilery for NAFDA-istas.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hec: Just caught up on the last hundred posts in Beauracracy. So. Fucking. Funny. We are glorious and ridiculous! Fear our Buffista Attention To Detail!

DXMachina: You misspelled Bureaucracy there, Hec...

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Victor and Matt talking about Connor, last season, not spoilery at all, in Spoilers (yeah, okay, you caught me, I lurk there. What?)

Victor: BEWARE EVILDOERS, FOR I AM GIRLIE MAN! I FIGHT LIKE A NINJA, BUT STILL RUN LIKE A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL!

Matt: How humiliating would it be to see a waifish figure running at you with arms flapping like Kermit the Frog, and then get your ass kicked by him?

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
