It's all about Geek Cred. I used to have a pocket protector, just for clarity's sake, but I lost it in a mosh pit.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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.

Victor in Music:
Peace and love were great and all, but sometimes it just makes more sense to burn things.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Boy. 18 months of nothing, and now twice in one day!

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!

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
billytea: Of course, now I have to act all noble and shit. Bugger.
Cass: You have always been all noble and shit.

Isn't it amazing how you can barely see Cindy's lips move when I post. And now, Cindy will drink a glass of water while I recite the Serenity prayer.

Betsy HP: WORD. I am bitter and aggrieved.
Not nearly as aggrieved as I'd be if somebody were whirling me in the air to determine my gender, of course.
amych: Word. I'm sure I'd squawk, but whether it'd be the high squawk or the low one is anyone's guess.

The original hen comment is also amych.
It helps a lot if you have Theodosia's setup:
It is sometimes difficult to identify correctly the sex of birds ready for caponizing. This is especially true of Brahmas, Giants, Orpingtons, and Reds. Four points of difference between the cock- erels and the pullets which can usually be depended upon are the head, back, tail, and voice. The head of a male is usually broader above the eyes and deeper from crown to throat, with a slightly larger comb and wattles which usually show some red. The cockerel’s beak is somewhat stouter and more arched. The back and shoulders, as a rule, are not so well covered with feathers, which, if present, are not so far advanced as in the pullet. (Fig. 2.) The tail of the cockerel is bushy and rounding, consisting of down-like feathers, while the feathers on the pullet’s tail are well formed, giving a more definite point to the shape of the tail. Finally if still in doubt after considering these three characters, one should swing the bird through the air until the voice can be heard. The high-pitched voice is associated with the cockerels, while the low voice is usually that of a pullet.
