Darn you, wee smonster. You beat me!
Oh. Apparently by an hour. Well, I just read it now. I have a family to feed, ya know.
Angel: I can stay in town as long as you want me. Buffy: How's forever? Does forever work for you?

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Trudy (in response to something Laura Holt said, but I can't find it): You SO married Brendan just for that name.
Matt: If that's the case, then maybe a bunch of us should consider how people's last names interact with ours as a principal dating criterium. The results seem pretty good in comparison to the more traditional methods of choosing one's intended.
amych: Dude, the average middle-school girl is way ahead of you on that one.
t decorates notebooks with amych Jackman ... amych MacGregor ...
NoiseDesign: Maybe that's my problem.
t look balefully at unwieldly last name
Trudy: <falls down laughing>
Dude, you can't commit to FIVE HOURS OF SLEEP A NIGHT.
NoiseDesign: Hey, I'm not saying that I'd actually COMMIT to something, I'd just use it as a way to lure the chicks in.
Emily: I don't know, "Design"'s not that bad.
Steph: I totally should have thought about your last name before I smooched you.
t wracked with regret....
NoiseDesign:
I don't know, "Design"'s not that bad.
My love for Emily is massive.
Trudy Booth: Massive will get you dates.
Matt:

Hmm. "You are cordially invited to a barbecue and crawfish boil at the Kane-Lemmonses' " just doesn't scan that well. However, if I stopped going by my middle name, "Richard and Rob Rucollo" rolls off the tongue pretty nicely.
amych: You could always reverse the order. Lemmons-Kanes works a good bit better than Kane-Lemmonses.
Matt: yeah, but then we'd sound like a sour candy that gets passed out to kids' Christmas stockings after all the good candy is gone.
Madrigal: I think the surname combining is more of an issue if together they have ten or more syllables, or if they make some unwanted phrase or word, which is why Andy Dick and Murray Head can't get together. (ASH is excluded from this since I have so got dibs before that skinny little rodent boy.)
Laura: Having had 5 surnames myself I was most amused to meet a woman at a site where I was working who was on her 7th marriage. She was all giddy and insisting that this was the one true love. Might I add that I was working at a cardiologist's office.

Trudy Booth:
The only problem I can see with detatchable boobies is that I'd have to replace them all the time what with the thowing them at the heads of guys who look me straight in the chest and say "hi".

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
Nicole: I keep meaning to start acting like an adult. Really.

PMM:
Gram's mother was from a family where you were either a high-ranking military fellow, or a high-ranking Church of England fellow. Unless you were a woman. Those were just expected to marry one or the other. (But in reality, occasionally married charming acting types or insane people from Belgium, thus adding layers, depth, and the shame of bad poetry to the family tree.)

shrift:
I did feel a bit uncomfortably conspicuous, though. Wearing jeans, a black leather coat, sunglasses, and using cell-phone. It was like I had, "Hello, I'm a godless whore of Babylon who writes gay porn about wholesome cartoon characters in her spare time!" written on my forehead.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Betsy HP in Natter:
What constitutes "scandalous baby clothes"? A mini bustier and fishnet diaper-cover?

Sean K:
And let's not forget one of my favorites: A Christmas Story, which is about a Christmas gone horribly, horribly wrong, which is only truly saved at the very end by the kid getting a weapon.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Liese in Great Write:
However, I did cook our favorite casserole dish, wash the dishes, clean the kitchen, go grocery shopping, check the post office, bake bread, sort the laundry, register my domain names, look for shoes, and buy a doghouse. So yay for procrastinating. How else would I ever get anything done?

NoiseDesign:
I really need to stop wearing antlers. It's a bad habit, and I know it, but I like having my one real vice.
Aimée:
Well, aside from not eating right and never sleeping.
NoiseDesign:
You're really dead set to take it all away from me aren't you? You'll leave me with no love in my life at all!
Madrigal Costello:
Didn't you read? He can't sleep or pause to feed or the hunters will get him. It's NoiseDesign season, fluorescent orange is out of fashion, and the whole downtown area is a salt lick.
Jacqueline Zahas:
And the recreational cross-dressing and the popcorn buckets. Really, antlers is kind of tame. I expected more of you, ND.
