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."
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

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.

In Music:
victor: Thessaly and I, for some small time, had the best roommate ever. He paid his share of the rent, didn't make messes, was a genuine pleasure to be around and, on occasion, brought home Indian or Chinese food for everybody, just because. He's a wonderful, wonderful man and we love him dearly.
All of this is why we didn't throttle him for doing step-aerobics to ABBA every morning at 8 a.m.
tina f.: Can I tell you how many times I came home from school to find my mother vacuuming to ABBA in her aerobics outfits (I guess it was Step 1: Do aerobics Step 2: Vacuum. Though it might have just been Step 1: Put on leotard and vacuum to ABBA.).
But yeah - she fed me and loved me and had my back, so I forgave.

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

During Buffy Quotables Death Matches...
Elena introduces the next round of Joyce quotes:
VOTE
1 - "Well, it seems that way to you. I made some lemonade, and I'm learning how to play mah-jongg. You go find your friends."
2 - "I'm not like this. I don't invite strange men over for coffee, it's just ... Oh, when you girls are older you'll understand. It's hard to date. Sometimes you just ... feel like giving up on men altogether."
victor infante votes:
I'm all about strange men.
Wait. Let me rephrase that.
Matt the Bruins Fan votes:
In mirror-image to Vic's post, "giving up on men altogether."
Elena announces the winner:
And strange men advance, as they so often do.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
billytea, in Bitches, instructing us all in the proper way to attract an emu:
Ok, here's what you do if you ever want to attract emus. First, go someplace with emus. I accept no responsibility for what might happen if you try this in the middle of LA or something. Next, lie down on your back. This is important as you don't want the emus to feel threatened. They're not aggressive in the way cassowaries are, but they are insecure. Yes, like Barbra Streisand before James Brolin. Now, poke your legs in the air and start doing bicycle kicks, and make gulpy grunting noises. (Also like Barbra Streisand before James Brolin.) Emus are curious birds, and it's entirely likely they've never seen anything like this before. So they'll just have to come over and investigate. And there you have your emus!
