Billytea, in Natter:
For the rest of the day I will be imagining Charlton Heston shouting "Soylent Green is ass! Aaaassss!" I will be imagining him doing this at an NRA meeting. Reports that I will be imagining him doing so in a pink tutu are premature.
Darn it, wee Jesse beat me.
Phill:
I have a bunch of vegetarian friends who all agree that the greatest temptation to those who are not actively sickened by meat, is the smell/ sound of bacon fryin' up in a pan. Because, really, what's better than bacon?
Yes? You, in the back?
That's correct, more bacon.
erika in The Great Write Way:
Just got done talking to Case Management Gal, who asked me about writing. Me:Yes, I've had articles published but no fiction as yet. Don't know why...tough beast. She: What stops you? Me(thinking) If I knew that would we have this conversation? No. You'd be referred to my publicist.
cindy: It seemed to be a "thing" when Harrison Ford pierced his ear.
ita: When was that?
Madrigal: I think the "thing" was that it was so out-of-character for him, sort of like when Michael Jackson married a woman.

Alibelle, in Natter:
In conclusion, you can be wild and crazy and mutilate your body so that you resemble the Loch Ness Monster, down to forked tongue, and I'm convinced that eventually people tire of talking about it, but people never tire of talking about the little things, like picky eating. Even people I've known my entire life are still shocked by my eating habits.
Jesse, in Natter, taken far out of context. It's completely broken free of context's gravitational pull, and is now just a tiny speck in context's night sky.
SO FUCKING ANNOYING. I haven't touched a kid in MONTHS.
?: I don't think Texans will ever fully accept that they are the SECOND largest state in the union.
billytea: They're still demanding a recount for after all the ice melts.
If you look carefully, you'll note that this also explains a lot of America's current energy policy.
msbelle gives JK Rowling advice in Literary:
Please edit more. Seriously. No, I'm not kidding even a bit. Less words.
