Ginger in Literary:
I don't know what I would have done without the library. I would have been out on the corner saying, "Do you have any spare change? If I get another dollar, I can buy a paperback."
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Billytea, according to one of our lovely rags here in the States (Weekly World News?) there are ALIEN CATS ON MARS.
Can this be TRUE?
billytea:
I don't see why not. 'Leave me the hell alone' is a sentiment well represented by cats, the notion that some of them should have taken it to the extreme of leaving the planet seems reasonable.
Alternatively, of course, it would have to be a case of convergent evolution, where otherwise unrelated animals have evolved to fit the same niche in different environments. Thus we can conclude that Mars as a planet is populated by small furry mammals, and possibly tassels.

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
Nilly: Secret Message to ND's brain: Why won't you be a nice not-so-little brain, cooperate with that man who has the head in which you live, and let him get some rest? You can come play again after he falls asleep, you know, if you really like, and when that man wakes up, he's going to think it's nothing but dreams.

amych: for the sake of the more forgetful and last-minute-ish among us, have we ever determined the speed of -ma? Is it on the order of the speed of sound? Or of light? Or of UPS standard ground service? Do we need to allow extra shipping time at high-demand times, like packages at the holidays? And is it really, really obvious that I'm not getting work done?

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

Michelvis: ...Buffistas everywhere (but especially in larger markets) could call up random people in their areas and tell them about WF in that polite, unobtrusive, but heartfelt Buffista way.
Allyson: I think most Buffistas are too shy to call for a pizza.

Typo Boy offers up a suggestion for pimping Wonderfalls:
we could stop screening calls, and when the caller is a telemarketer offer a trade: I'll listen to your pitch if you listen to mine.

Oh, but as long as I have you on the phone, let me ask you. How do you usually spend your Friday evenings?
