Matt the Bruins Fan: Where exactly in these counterprotesters' Bibles does Jesus say "Go forth, and kick ass in the name of America!"?
Steph L: They bought the $1.99 Bible. It also has a character in it named "Skeeter."

Am-Chau, in Buffista Fic:
You know, it's one of the really wonderful things about fandom: you do/write/make something, step back, look at it, and think, "nobody else could possibly be as crazy as I am. I am all alone, I am the only one writing Gordo-centric fic, and I shall have to hand in my Human Race membership card". And then you show it to some folks, and you find out that not only have other people got there before you, they made a Yahoo Group for it.
apropros of very little, in Buffy.
Vortex: Bumper sticker spotted this morning:
Right now, legions of ninja monkeys are plotting my demise.
billytea: From now on - and I expect future generations to hail me as a visionary - I intend to replace in my mind all references to terrorists with 'legions of ninja monkeys'.
"Bush Announces Progress In War On Legions Of Ninja Monkeys"
"If I don't receive my steak diane with steamed vegetables and garlic mash within twenty minutes, then the legions of ninja monkeys have already won."
"Local Man Held On Suspicion Of Being A Legion Of Ninja Monkeys"
billytea continues on a roll, in Natter:
Nilly:
amy, I'll write your cover letter if you edit my paper?
Of course, English isn't my first language and I have no experience (which may explain my continuing struggling with the paper). So I wouldn't accept my offer if I were you.
Cindy:
Dear People:
Please hire me, because I have mad skilz and you'd be crazy not to. Check out my C.V.!
Love, amych (which is versatile, and can be prounounced ah-mick)
amych:
scribbling notes So, how do you say "mad skilz" in Hebrew, anyway?
billytea:
'Krav Maga'.
In F2F, the discussion about letting people know there’s a vote on location happening soon:
Noise Design: I would really hate to see how many of us it would take to change a light bulb and just how long we would be standing in the dark before it happened.
Steph: Well, there'd probably be a long discussion on wattage....
Deena: That would be a technical issue, ND. We'd talk about it until ita got access to the bulbs and changed it. Then we'd give her knives.
Aimée: MM and I have resigned ourselves tot he fact that our child's first word might very well be "Fuck".
From Angel, the Matt & Kristen show:
Matt the Bruins fan:
The sad thing is, he had a lot more personality back when he was an unknown actor playing thugs and con men in indie films. One more atrocity for the pile Allie McBeal must answer for.
Kristen:
Just another line item on the "David E. Kelley is a Soul Sucking Demon" list.
Matt the Bruins fan:
I think it must be how Michelle Pfeiffer stays so beautiful. Instead of the blood of virgins, she bathes in the talent and charisma of formerly gifted actors from her husband's shows.
Kristen :
Oooohhhh...excellent reasoning. It would also explain why she stays with the Soul Sucking Demon.
Matt the Bruins fan:
There may be something to this theory. While no Olivier, James Marsden could actually act to some degree back when he was on Second Noah, and even in the first X-Men movie. Then comes a stint on Allie Mcbeal, and now they have to spray him for termites if shooting is outdoors.
Trudy, in Natter. There was context. It sacrificed itself to create a better world.
What I'd REALLY like to say to the rude men is, "Are they enormous or just incredibly delicate?" and just stare at their crotches until they sit up.
Cashmere, in Natter:
I try to send the leave-me-alone-I'm-reading-my-book vibe. DH got stuck next to a woman on our 9 hour flight to London who asked him if he had accepted Jesus as his personal savior. He replied, "I have, but I think my wife's been struggling with that decision." I nearly tossed him out of the emergency exit.
Shawn: Anyone got advice for what to do about an itchy turtleneck?
sarameg: Take it off and burn it.
