In Natter 21:
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.
(FTR, in the exchange above, I'm quoting comedian David Cross. I thought someone might recognize it.)
Anne W.:
I'm afraid quite a few Christians don't really get the subtle difference between "baptise" and "piss off."
connie neil:
I'm doomed to snicker like a twelve-year-old boy whenever I hear the word "slash" anymore.
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."
BWAH!
Anne W., in Movies, but off-topic:
One person I know had Brubeck's "Take Five" for the bridesmaids' processional.
How that worked without one of them tripping or breaking a leg, I'll never know.
Steph L: Welcome to my workplace, which has treacle-y "art" on the walls with bible verses. Over the copier is a dramatic picture of Jesus, arms outstretched. Perhaps it's meant to deter making photocopies for one's personal use.
shrift: BTW, Dana -- this morning it was demanded of me that I produce a drabble for the You-Know-What.
Dana: Huh. Is the you-know-what what I think it is?
Am-Chau: To the random outsider, this sounds distinctly like Voldemort has been issuing fic challenges.
The Murder Muggles Challenge.
The Kill Harry Potter Challenge.
You know, it could work.
For that matter--
Dana: Coke commercials should never be quoted in a sex scene.
shrift: I am now trying to think of ways to incorporate TV jingles into sex scenes. And really, I got as far as "plop plop, fizz fizz" and then I started shrieking in laughter again.
Elena: Oh, shrift... Remember the commercials for Nuprin? Little, yellow, different. Think of the possibilities.
shrift: And it reminds me that I haven't written any crazy alien smut in, oh, about a month.
