Gudanov, in Natter, asking for clarification on a discussion of The Office:
I was just going to ask "What is The Office?", but then that made me think about the promos for the first Matrix movie. You know, "What is The Matrix?", and that seemed like a silly comparison. What does being put into a small pod, having the energy sucked out of you, and living in an unreal world have to do with working in an office?
Cass: the baby panda are dead
Phill: But soon it shall rise! An unholy but adorable creature, shambling through the night in quest of bwaiiiiinnnns.
Jesse , on deciphering the sperm donor catalog codes.
"Wholesome looking" to me just reads as code for white. Not that helpful, unless you were afraid he might be purple, due to being Welch.
Matt, on certain un-alluded-to plot developments on Angel:
That mismatch makes it very difficult to immerse myself in the show, whereas the other fantastic elements (demons, vampires, the notion that everyone falls in love with Fred) don't. OK, maybe one of those is likewise off-putting.
ita: Is the Porgy and Bess story any more alien than Oklahoma?
Trudy: Well, the farmer and the cow man should be friends...
Cashmere: I've always thought the immaculate conception was religious retcon.
Trudy Booth: There was no television, they had very little to do.
DX Machina: So, the gospels were fanfic? :)
Trudy Booth: Are they slashy enough to be fic?
DX Machina: Mostly a male cast. IJS...
Trudy Booth:
Steph, how was Mary's conception immaculate? Were her parents, I dunno, virgins on a snowfield during a full moon when they conceived her? Or did G-d hit them with some sort of whammy? OR maybe the glitter twins made it never happen?
Steph L:
*I* don't know. I'm not a Catholic theologian. It's a lot of handwaving, much like the suspension of disbelief one must undergo for parts of Farscape.
Shawn in Natter:
I know people who are off-the-charts well-read, intuitive, gifted, curious, have huge vocabularies and breathtaking abilities in understanding and creating ideas but don't have the common sense or life skills God gave a box of hair because they were so coddled as a youth. And I love my BF anyway.
Betsy in Angel because it's just so true:
Stalking is only attractive and adorable when performed by (A) vampires (B) baby pandas.
Betsy HP:
Millions of us wouldn't exist if you could kill a fetus with Twinkies
