Madrigal:
For me the true sign of the tacky decoration is including Santa in the manger scene, either bringing presents or kneeling at the manger. It's like having the Easter Bunny feeding Jesus jelly beans while he's being crucified.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Shrift on Smallville fanfic:
Well, I'm completely okay with reading stories where they go totally AU and toss the characters into a different milieu. I can handle Clark as a rentboy, Lex as a farmboy, or Lana as an interesting person, but the moment anyone takes Lex's cock away, I am consumed with uncomfortableness.
Apparently, this is where I draw the line that should not be crossed. "Thou shalt not give Lex an innie when he has such a nice outie."

All is well that ends in pizza.
Connie Neil, in Buffy 4:
The first few years we lived here and had fighter practice in the front yard, we'd have cop cars by all the time. Pretty soon, though, that stopped as word got around about the weird folk on the corner. We have actually heard that there are fewer incidents reported in our immediate neighborhood. Apparently word gets around taht the folks on the corner have blunt instruments and aren't afraid to use them. Then they see me hacking at snowmen with live steel . . . We can always tell when there's a new cop on the patrol. I think the department sends them out our way just to break them in.
Edited to correct what I meant to type.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Buffy 4, actually.

Ann, that's a ferret.

There are times, sarameg, when it really pays not to listen to your own brain.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The SotU is why I don't have any good shows lined up on TiVo, isn't it?

Oh and tonight's the State of the Union! It's like the pre-Spring fashion shows; we get a preview of who we will be declaring war on this year. Very exciting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm easily amused today, it seems. Not one, but two COMMs!

Sumi: In India, they aren't getting RotK until February 6.
Tom Scola: That's understandable, it will take that long to splice in the musical numbers.
And in Angel 4:
ita: What's 21 grams in Imperial?
Trudy: Sir 21 grams?

Oh, the dilemma. Do I just change ita's post, or do I pretend Trudy has changed hers as well? Its immortalisation in the BRQG is in my hands...
