It's a remora, dimwit.

The other thing with Angel/Lindsey is the whole Freudian symbolic level of interpretation. I mean, you know? YOU! You have severed my arm and thus symbolically castrated me, ending my agency! I must glower at but never fully retreat from you until such time as you grow into the phallic stage and acknowledge the pitfalls of masculinity, and thereby find in yourself the mercy to help me regain my lost hand/penis. And then? We make beautiful music together!

It's all about the Fassbinder.

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

Theodosia: This is the same Clark who spent three months being EVILE and yet didn't get laid, right?

Nutty: Well, but his boyfriend was marooned on a desert island. Clark was saving himself.

sumi: He was evil in the sense that he yelled at people and just wasn't very nice.

Emily: That's me on a good day. There goes my dream of superherodom.

Hi all - I'll be dark grey for a while, as I'm building a cemetary in my back yard

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

Pssst! Sophia! It was Raquel...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Marvelous JZ on how the names we pick for ourselves may be more true than our birth names:

However, shrift's name is shrift. The other name is something shrift's parents latched onto for unknown reasons shortly after her birth (I've heard that childbearing is very tiring -- possibly they were just exhausted and confused, and if they'd only waited a few months until they were both rested and refreshed they'd have taken a good long look at their sprog and said, "Why of course she's shrift!")

In Building a Better Board

Holli: I get it two or three times in a row, and then not at all for a few minutes.

Trudy Booth: That can happen at your age, Holli...

Sean K: I'm getting it sporadically, not quite as often as some people seem to be getting it.

Aimée: That can happen at your age, Sean....

Betsy: NaNoWriMo is more of a "get up off your ass and WRITE, dammit!" challenge.

Which would actually be tricky unless you had the right desk. Must. rethink. metaphor.

Cindy: Like I'm worried about a country whose water goes down the drain back-asswards.

billytea: Ooh, that's big talk from a country where you have to cross the border just to buy a full-flush toilet.
