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."

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
John H:
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.

PMM in natter:
Sad sign I've been too headdown in fandom: I read "The transportation trouble spots for the week ahead" in the local paper and thought "Ooo! Traffic Spoilers!"

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

Theodosia, in Natter, cause it's funny when read randomly:
[strongly resisting temptation to go stand in front of Nutty's office building down the street and scream out variant pronunciations of 'fart']

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
shrift, in Natter:
It's really cute that so many people online think that just because I'm a webmaster that I'm omniscient.
Cute in that way where I want to strangle them with my bare hands until their eyes pop out of their sockets, all while screaming about how I have more important things to do, and they'd better die quickly.

amych, in Natter:
Yeesh. You wanna know how viral natter is? Reading this discussion, I started looking around for good weapons around my desk. And then I realized that I don't have any co-workers to attack them with. I'm not about to chuck a stapler at the dog just to join in this conversation.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
in the Angel thread (edited for sense/continuity):
Betsy: I do hope they're setting up an Angel-vs.-Lilah confrontation in which Wesley isn't sure who to root for. In one corner, abusive hostile ungrateful sometimes-evil vampire; in other, abusive bed-sharing evil person.
Brenda M: I can think of a way Angel could even those odds....IJS.
Burrell: And, um, what Betsy said, too. I really really hope that said confrontation involves Cordy being eviscerated, and then I'll know exactly who to root for myself.
PMM: I'd love to see him just kick back with a bowl of popcorn, throw some snarky comments at both of them, say "Oh, to heck with the both of you" and run off with Lindsey.
Betsy: Dana will kill him if he tries anything
