Raquel in Beep Me (better without context:
Hi all - I'll be dark grey for a while, as I'm building a cemetary in my back yard
(Thanks DX-- I think I still need the pictures!)
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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!")

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

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.

Madrigal:
I tend not to give out the real first name because once people know, they can't un-know it, and then they end up using it. It's like giving someone a chainsaw in an unfinished furniture store.

Cindy: Or worse, it sounds like a can in which one urinates, because both syllables end up being stressed.
