Betsy HP, in Literary, on properly learning the steps of a thing:
If I walk into Krav class and the instructor says "Redirect the weapon", and I say "But what if there's a boatload of nuns behind me?", the instructor is going to say "REDIRECT THE WEAPON."
First you learn to redirect the weapon. Then you learn what to do when there's a boatload of nuns present.
DCJ in Angel, non-spoilery.
"This package is addressed to you."
"Who's it from?"
"It says 'asspull.'"
Betsy HP, in Music:
I just got a Britney Spears ad from Yahoo:
"Me Against The Music".
As I always suspected, really.
Nilly in Natter:
Edit: Of course, first I typed "I, Perkins", as if you were a stuttering Roman emperor and your wife was about to poison you and your mad step-son (whose palace I visited in Rome!) was about to inherit your title. I think that even a workday may be better than that, though you probably wouldn't get a book and a TV show about it.
Natter:
Betsy: ita, am I correct in thinking that if I came at you with, say, an Eddie Izzard signature lipstick, you could generalize the krav knife defense into dealing with it?
ita: Well, assuming you were trying to hit me in knifey places, sure. If you're sneaking up on me to do a makeover, that's something we haven't covered yet. And judging by some of the instructors' Halloween costumes, they have no idea how to protect themselves from antagonistic makeup.
And some more Natter:
Gudanov: Chocolate can do many things, it's the duct tape of food.

Somehow the word has lost all meaning.

Gudanov: Betsy was missing her brain earlier. Someone on this board is a brain thief, everyone wear ear-muffs and keep your mouth closed until this case is solved.
Nilly: Most of my good friends already know to stop and wait when I suddenly start attempting to avoid laughing out loud when nobody said anything particularly funny
