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.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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

Excerpted from a review of Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space courtesy of tommyrot:
The plot has something or other to do with an advertising icon that has the power to destroy and remake the universe
Anne W.'s reaction:
Oh. Oh, dear. The whole thing sounds rather like an unfortunate collision of "Hello Kitty" and the trippier parts of "Evangelion."

This is a day that will live in infamy, and all people with any sense of decency will forever more wear black armbands with little pictures of half eaten babies on them on this date (which I'll come back and fill in when I figure out what it is).

I work in a library and someone ask me what I think of the Left behind series I have to say something along the lines of " I read part of the first one , but I found the characters so unlikeable that I decided not to finish. If you liked that have you tried ____ ( a few names I am blanking on now) "

Ann, that's a ferret.

Nilly: Luckily, most of them write in Hebrew, and there are still less Hebrew spam mails than English ones.
billytea: Naturally. Spam's not kosher.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Katie M.: I don't mind that when I fly Alaska you get a little insert about Jesus with your meal. That's fine.
Steph L.: "I didn't order the Christian sandwich! I ordered the Buddhist pasta!"
billytea: I have a problem with any meal that believes in reincarnation. My philosophy: it goes down, it stays down.

I'm afraid quite a few Christians don't really get the subtle difference between "baptise" and "piss off."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Shawn in Natter:
Last week I made the mistake of taking the train at about 6 and I had one of these. This guy was scary, though. Until the end, when his spiel jumped the tracks and he claimed the Bible predicts the Bronx will become a big hole in the ground.
As he wound it up I heard someone say softly, "This is why Jesus and crack don't mix."
