DavidS responding to Sean, in Natter:
Really don't understand everybody's beef with pre-measured, pre-seasoned rice. Y'all just like picking on the bachelor, I think...
One of the seasonings was mold, Sean. Hence the objection.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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
Susan W.: I still feel the need to point out that evangelical Christians are a pretty large and diverse group, and are by no means all scary, literal, end-times obsessed, nor even politically conservative. I mean, by some definitions I'm evangelical myself--I certainly go to a leftyish-evangelical church--and I don't think I'm especially scary.
billytea: About Christianity NSM, but get you onto the topic of pecans...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Not funny, but very nice, and great news:
Nilly: There's something that Hec once told me. About presents. That the beautiful thing about a gift is that it isn't earned or paid for. It only goes out one way into the world. And if one wants to honor the gift, then they accept it graciously, and give their own gifts out into the world. When they have an abundance to share.
So it's not like your amazing generosity has anything to do about me. It's about you, and therefore, if I want to honor you, I'm going to accept it. And not return it - just give back when I can.
Goodness, I guess it just means I've said yes.

Brand New Buffista KristenT in the Minearverse thread, about her very good day:
Let's see...I discovered a new online "family", sent money to a complete stranger to bring another complete stranger from Israel to the US, and inadvertently wrote a tag line for the person responsible for some of the best television I've ever watched.
Yes. I would call this day eventful.

tommyrot: We do need "Nilly North America Tour '04" t-shirts. With a list of cities on the back. People will think 'Nilly' is some trendy band.
DXMachina: Or that we spelled "Nelly" wrong.

I hate to give KristinT a big head (two COMMed posts in her first weekend?!), but this cracked me up:
I was born in the early to mid 70's (it was a long labor)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Tim, on rejected titles...
Well, for instance, we were working on a story called "Kitten Cozy" that was, for some time, called "Wet..." Um. Nevermind. It was REALLY close to the earth, though.

Slightly spoilery for Wonderfalls in Minearverse:
Kat Perez: I just realized that the monkey did not have a French accent? What's up with that? All monkeys are French. It's cannon.
Tim Minear: You have no idea how hard the monkey worked to lose his accent, kat. I didn't have the heart.

Thanks for all the fish.
