Darn it, wee Jesse beat me.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

If I only had a brain...
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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
From Bureaucracy, context be DAMNED. After the heated discussion in the afternoon, this made me laugh like a drain that was being unclogged:
Rob, with the inadvertant setup, talking tech:
I'm pretty sure our problems are caused by a race condition in MySQL
Jess PMoon with the punchline:
I'd like to thank the Read New button, which brought me to this thread after Bitches, for my immense confusion upon reading this sentence.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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.

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
?: 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.

Spoilery sort of in Angel:
sumiko: Did big kitty give blood?
Trudy Booth: They should have gone to the evil giant litter box.
