My god. Closet's huge. You could fit the Aragorn/Legolas relationship in there. Sadly, no one thought to do that before I went in searching.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

emilyn wrote a nice article for the NY Times about the Firefly DVDs, Tim Minear commented upon same, and then we got this:
Michele T.:
Emily *is* a delight, and now she can have Tim's quote to that effect tattooed on her ass, should she so choose. Or not. Um.
emilyn:
Um indeed!
Narrator:
Think of the interesting conversation at emily's next performance appraisal:
NYT Editor -- Um, well, we really ask that our reporters/columnists refrain from permanently marking their bodies with the names of, or comments from, those they cover.

I love the remade Flash Gordon, which not only embraces the cheese but commits illegal acts using pasteurized processed cheese food.Nutty:
Cinematically, I'm a little bit lactose-intolerant. I can handle some participatory gruyere, and even after-the-fact retroactive brie, but it's the innocently-committed, earnest Velveeta that makes me run away.

Nilly tries to explain Firefly love to Hannukah guests:
Guests: What are these things that Nilly is petting and hugging?
Me: DVDs of a show you haven't heard of. Though I'll probably make some of you sit and watch it.
Guests: So you can play them on your computer?
Me: No.
Guests: Oh, so do you even have a DVD player?
Me: No.
Guests: So did somebody bring their DVD player?
Me: No.
Guests: Is there any way for you to actually watch what's on the CDs tonight?
Me: No.
Guests: So why did you want T to bring them at all?
Me: To pet.

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
Tim Minear: I guess I'll just have to have everyone over when my theatre is done and do it live with Adam and Jose. Please don't slash that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Madrigal, in Goodbye 2003 on package deliveries:
Still, I probably would have had better results using the Pony Express, which nowadays is probably just some crazy guy with a clydesdale who's really into putting maps to use, but he's got a great work ethic, always delivers the package, and accepts payment in cheap ale and poorly knitted balaklavas.

A Decent Proposal...
Matt the Bruins fan: Or, if you want to give back some of what you've been getting and drive the family's average blood pressure up over 300, there's always the opting to travel cross-country for an indecent proprosal from a gay redneck rather than attend the family Christmas. I think it wouldn't be too difficult to find a volunteer.

If people wanted to spend $1000 to hang with you, would you take it? Keep it?
Kat
If I could get 30 people to spend $1000 to hang out with me, I'd spend half of it on bills and half on my students -- like on as many books as I could tote.
If I could get 500 people to spend $1000 I'd either spend it on starting a charter school (cause I'm figuring I would have to do something renumerative to entice enough people to want to pay that). If I wasn't doing something renumerative, then I'd spend the money on a house.
Mainly cause, I'm assuming James Marsters is good for money.

I would not pay $1,000 to hang out with Jesus and get his direct personal pager number. But if you have the grand, I suppose you do whatever makes you feel good with it. I won't charge y'all anything to hang out with me, even though according to the quiz I'm a NY Trendsetter.
P.M. Marcontell
I'd hide in my room and never come out.
But that's my thing.

If thirty people wanted to pay $1000 to hang out with me, I'd spend a lot of time saying "I'm not having sex with you! I don't know how to have $1000 of sex!"
So they need to pay up front.
(ita owes me a new keyboard for that one)

MechaKreylboyne posting secret message in Atlantic Canadians
So I'm looking at the rather mysterious message I've recieved in the post. Is it a warning of some sort? A threat? A request for aid? Only one way to know ...
t Rolls D20 ... gets 20.
Dammit. Never on a strike roll, always the way.
t Santa ATTACKS, with Claw/Claw/Cheerfulness, doing 37 points of damage, and forcing a saving throw vs Christmas Spirit, which is passed.
t two Reindeer ATTACK, each with Hoof/Hoof/Antler, doing a total of 11 points of damage.
t Rudolph ATTACKS with Hoof/Hoof/Shiny Red Nose, doing no damage, but forcing a saving throw v. Blindness, which is passed. This will end badly.
