Being all immutable and all, the laws of physics are unlikely to change when your back is turned. Unlike the laws of grammar, which are a bunch of slippery little bastards.

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

From BBaBB:
Kat: ita et al., since you're taking requests, can you write code to directly transcribe my thoughts into the posting box? Cause that might be helpful.
ita: We're beta testing that right now.
And you have a dirty mind, BTW.

Oops, sorry. Didn't think it was specific enough to be considered spoilery.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Nutty, in the Fanfiction thread:
That sounds like how I felt about Ben-Hur when I saw it at 19. My friends were aghast I hadn't seen it, and they sat me down to watch it, and when the intermission between tapes came, I was like, "So.... gay?" And they all sort of looked at each other and said, "I don't remember it being like this when I was a kid."

Thuy's family live in District Four of Saigon, which is kind of South Central. The other day her brother-in-law took me for a walk around the district and at one point, took off his shirt to show me his tattoos. I thought this was just more weirdness, until Thuy explained that he was saying something like "do not fear to walk around in District Four, because people have now seen me walking around with you, and my tattoos identify me as a member of the local Organised Crime Family". So that was nice.

Could it be that the reason the Canadians are missing so many vowels is that Boston kidnapped them and won't let them go?
