In Natter...speaking a different language, one that I now understand and that makes me laugh.
Emily: Wait, are we talking about the GEM, or one of my more evanescent relationships?
Sean: The one with the bird nickname.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

In the ROTK thread:
Jeff Mejia:
Sauron himself was caught in the flood, and afterwards could only be seen as the flaming eye.
Nutty:
I love how nobody questions this logic. You were an evil, corporeal lord, and then you became a [still corporeal] slimy-nice advisor to the king, and then, when you drowned? Reincarnated as a flamey eyeball. (Okay, a spirit of flamey evilness that is represented for shorthand as an eyeball. Or a vulva.) I think the moral of this story is, if you drown, stay dead.
This goes double if your name is Leonardo DiCaprio.

Jars, in the Movie thread:
See, In general I have no problem when people next to me cry in the cinema. Unless that person is my dad. And the movie in question is Cool Runnings. And he was weeping like the nine year old girl I was at the time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OMG. It's the rare and elusive double-COMM.

I knew I'd get outed sooner or later. But done right, it would get the viewers. Sadly enough.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Another gem from the Angel thread, Gleebo this time:
Not even Wolfram & Hart would fuck with Bill Gates. Although playing Halo with the little gun from duck hunt would be sweet as fuck.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
From the Firefly thread (whitefonted for future media plans because I'm a big ol' spoiler-phobe):
MechaKrelboyne: Right. Here's the plan. We give them a ringer, find the location of the reels of the movie, (I can jump out of a moving car and beat it out them) create a very small plane that flies very fast and carries the whole InterWeb inside it. On our way, we swindle some evil manager out of a cineplex that he only uses to show Cool Runnings and Snow Dogs anyway, drag it behind the Tiny plane to Israel. Then we make Israel not be very warm, because I don't like it when it's hot out, and it's my plan, you ungrateful SOB's. Then we have a big party, show everyone the Big Damn Movie, and the DVD's and have a giant party. We may also institute a utopian government somewhere, and my simulations indicate a greater than average probability of bringing about Zombie Apocalypse, but personally, I'm fine with that. We'll just need some dune buggies with machine guns on. This is a great plan because of it's simplicity.
Elena: I'll bring the bactine.
JohnSweden: It's too cunning a plan to fail twice.

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
Steph in Boxed Set:
Pretty much the only character I can think of who *might* be nuttier than Crichton is Drusilla. And possibly Willy Wonka.
