From Bureaucracy, context be DAMNED. After the heated discussion in the afternoon, this made me laugh like a drain that was being unclogged:

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.

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.

We are talking about Angel. What show have you been watching? All roads lead back to the goolies.
