Theodosia in The Minearverse: I've worn the "What Scrappy Said" t-shirt so long it's in tatters and I have to reorder.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Tim Minear, in the Firefly topic:
Writing is like feeling your way through the dark, and having the dark feel you back.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I may be the only one who finds this funny, but I do. So there.
Trudy, talking tech theatre in Natter:
Gobo! THAT'S the name I was looking for!
I knew it sounded like Hobbit.

Killed the thread, buried it in your basement, then did a painting of a clown.

Seeing these baby soldiers makes me cry. Rode to Dallas with this baby girl (ok, she was 19) who had never been on a commercial aircraft before. She was flying home for 2 weeks before she had to ship out to Iraq. I had to reassure her about all the noises and bumps a prop jet makes. Aiieee.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
erinaceous, in Natter:
My grandfather (a one-star USMC general) used to demand COMPLETE SILENCE in the house while watching MASH. He called it "holy hour." He later tried to invoke this rule for "The $60,000 Pyramid" too, but my grandmother put her foot down.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In Music:
DavidS: In defense of Tiny Tim, he wasn't just a twee hippie novelty artist. He was an extremely knowledgeable music scholar about music from the 20s and 30s. He was just as capable of singing in a low, Bing-style croon as he was in the upper registers of his falsetto. He really knew that whole era of vaudeville tunes and early recordings and could faithfully reproduce the singing and playing styles of that era.
Jon B.: He was interviewed on WMBR in the late 80's, and was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. He was also a nut.
Shawn: Let this be a lesson to you lot.
DavidS: Too late for me. Save yourself!

Cindy in Bitches:
A lot of little ones are morally offended and mortally wounded if you offer them water, though. They look at you like, "What is this shit, wet air?" And you think, "Yes. Yes it is. But it's good for you."

It's a remora, dimwit.

So far so good, but the story becomes an after-school special when you realise that the lemurs are also getting high on the millipede secretions. They sit there with a blissed-out expression on their face, sometimes frothing at the mouth, and (best of all) sometimes a bunch of them get together and pass the millipede around like a doobie.
From which we can conclude two things:
1. Schools should be able to make biology way more interesting than they do; and
2. "Bogarting the Millipede" would be an excellent name for a rock band.
