Madrigal Costello:

Anybody want a pound of sour cream? For some reason my roommate bought it when grocery shopping, even though she hates it and I'm allergic to it and it wasn't even accidentally on the list or on sale. I'm thinking I'll see if a local food kitchen will take it, or I'm just going to end up having to find something to chuck it at. (And when asked why she bought it, she answered, "I don't know. I could have stole a car. Instead, I bought sour cream.")

billytea:

(Speaking for myself, BTW, I really like buffets. I have options, but the constraint of fitting my choices on a single plate. It's a meal, and a geometry puzzle!)

Although the topic started as a change to the F2F thread blurb, it quickly became something else....

Cindy: We've done it twice. We may have lice. Time for ritual sacrifice.

billytea: Having tackled the problem of unprotected teenage sex, Cindy was next asked to rewrite the "Anti-Drug" campaign.

Angel's character is to be the guy who has to keep giving updates of his moral status every time he runs into old acquaintances.

PMM in Angel Spoilers, not spoily unless you want to be surprised by her Halloween costume:

(My other notion, though not for work, involves a corset and a tightish overdress thing with a bunch of XML mark-up on it.)

(I'd be going as a well-formed document.)

Holli, on Bible marketing trends, in Literary:

There's a headline on the cover of that bizarro teen Bible that says "GUYS SPEAK OUT On Important Issues."

Now, I know I don't speak for all teenage girls, but I think that once I figured out that the Important Issues had to do with, like, Temple sacrifices and the stoning of loose women, I probably wouldn't keep reading for the part where the hott boyz reveal their top ten turn-ons. Mostly because I have a higher IQ than the average sponge.

Cindy, in Natter:

If a Cubs/Sox series comes to be, it'll truly be about their respective, long-suffering, loyal-to-a-fault fandoms, and the billions they've poured into therapy and bars.

I'm just still trying to puzzle out how they could both lose.

DavidS, in Natter:

You don't know the joy of burning the village of your neighbors, putting them to the sword and wading through the blood of their small pet animals!!! I laugh at your hippielove ways, unless of course you were to offer me tea with home-made scones and devon cream and lemon curd. At which point I will put aside my gorey blade and have a cuppa.

Never mind the context, here comes Erin in Bitches:

I can't believe I just admitted to trying to scent-mark my couch.

ita, in Angel or Previously or whereeva, on that lady that used to play Kate:

Her role is pretty bland, but her acting takes wooden and ossifies it.
