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.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle gives JK Rowling advice in Literary:
Please edit more. Seriously. No, I'm not kidding even a bit. Less words.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Spoilery sort of in Angel:

Trudy Booth: They should have gone to the evil giant litter box.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Context? Nah. Me setting up the divine erika, in Buffista Fic:
me: you know the CoulterDemon requires tributes of dead liberal flesh to appease her, right?
erikaj: I wondered how she got her skin to look like that.

Jesse and billytea snark about msbelle's boss:
Jesse: Dear lord, msbelle. Your boss is a piece of work. (My new code phrase for "colossal bitch.")
billytea: 'Colossal' is one of the size categories for D&D monsters. I'm now envisaging stat blocks for all the different varieties of bitch: Medium bitch, Large bitch, Colossal bitch, Gargantuan bitch and FUCKO.
