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.
DXMachina:
Hi, may I speak to Mrs. Mecheena?
First of all, there isn't any @@##&**%#&& Mrs. Machina, you addle-brained, %#$%@@$$%# nincompoop, but thank you so much for reminding me of my loveless #&$@@$%# existence. Second, don't you realize that people are trying to have #$%&#& dinner at this hour, you moronic *#$*&2*&#*&*&&*$*&%#er?
Oh, but as long as I have you on the phone, let me ask you. How do you usually spend your Friday evenings?
Aimee in Movies (screw the context):
Twins as in boobies or twins as in kids?

Fictional teen-drama pizza doesn't count. They always have good pizza in those places.

See, I'm afraid if I started kicking people into the engine, it would be like eating potato chips.
Two from the current Minearverse:
erikaj:
mmm, cannoli. I completely understand why mobsters pause in whacking for those.
Liese S.:
My generation has already passed its hip tie-in merchandising phase. Won't be long until we're out of the target demographic. Then we'll just have to get on with our sorry apathetic lives and lie in the gutter with a surly but amusing expression on our faces.
My wife...I hope she keeps me:

In Natter, after Amych's upthread query re: speed of -ma:
Emily:It is of course notoriously difficult to measure the effects or time-to-impact of -ma, since once the need for -ma is observed the observer is immediately involved in the -ma process.
Nilly: Schrodinger's -ma, of course - once you notice it, you change it.
Gus: We posit that "Good" and "Bad" are two states applicable to –ma and karmic fields. The states are mutually repellent (possibly due to anti-charm). Therefore, good-ma propagates less freely in a bad-karma field. As Emily notes, the good/bad state of the observer may also enter into the describing mathematics.
