Skyzy in Natter:

I hate to admit, but I was Milton from Office Space at my last company. We kept downsizing and each time we would downsize, I would get moved to a farther corner of the office, away from everyone. Each time I would leave on a business trip, I would come back to find my stapler gone.

And, I had been laid off a year prior to me actually leaving the company (when they finally "fixed the glitch"). Even still, after they laid me off officially, the second time, I got a call from the company asking why I hadn't been to work in over a month and why I still hadn't accepted their job offer (which they sent the week after I was laid off to the office where I no longer worked).

Yay! First COMM!

Elena in Movies:

The only thing that will make a Bewitched movie worthwhile for me is if they suddently switch Darrins halfway through the film without any explanation.

Not exactly sure if it is a spoiler, but just to be on the safe side...

ETA: took out the spoiler font

Not a spoiler. Just funny.

BT: Quiet morning. Quick! Someone say something controversial!

Vortex: My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

BT: Mine just brings on debilitating bouts of lactose intolerance.

Gloomcookie: I'm not violent - I just hate people.

I was raised by geeks. To rebel, I used to go out and make friends.

ita in Natter, on the joys of The O.C.

You know, if I had to F/C/M Seth, Ryan and Luke at this point, I'd forever be thinking of what I was missing.

Holli, just embrace the Dicklove.

Buffistas to the rescue - how to explain F2F to parents (I'm the set-up, it's not about me, it's about the people who posted):

Miracleman: Dear Nilly's Parents,

Despite what you may have heard I am neither evil nor insane. My work in necromancy, cybernetic enhancement and nuclear-powered projected energy weapons is all for the ultimate benefit of humanity under my benign but absolute and total rule.

Here is a picture of me and my wife, the Empress. Also included is a picture of me and The World's Stupidest Dog; me and my Ninja Zombie Robot Army of Total Doom; and me and my Nuclear Destructo-Ray (puckishly pointed at Thermopolis, Wyoming.)

I have no designs on taking samples of your daughter's mathematically brilliant brain and attempting to clone it for use in an ultra-super-biocomputer. I intend only to show her the delights of Los Angeles alongside other Buffistas, none of whom are under mind-control.

Also, there will be cookies.

I hope this letter serves to allay any concerns you may have in re: your daughter's safety.

Yours sincerely,

Miracleman Not A Mad Scientist or Aspiring World Dominator

amych: Dear Nilly's Parents,

I can understand your worry, as my own parents have worried about my talking to the invisible imaginary people in the box for years now, but I haven't yet gotten into any real trouble with it.

As far as they know, anyway.

Signed, invisible imaginary person in the box
