Hec: What do we call Ohio cities with unfortunate germanic tendencies?
Teppy: Der Zinzinnati, baby. We gots the best of the wurst.

Beth B in Minearverse:
I saw Waterworld in a theater where the popcorn machine caught on fire. Amazingly - most of the people went back in to see the end.

Allyson:
How does something like Glitter happen? I mean, hundreds and hundreds of people had to agree with each other to make it happen, right? Someone had to pony up money, write a script, hire a director, find actors, and fluff Mariah. No one, not one little voice said, "this blows?"
Matt the Bruins fan:
I think she temporarily shorted out their brains by singing a note that only dogs on speed could hear, and everyone just nodded blankly and went along with it.

Wonderfalls up against the cast of CSI appearing on American Idol and then getting fired by Donald Trump would be better than Friday nights.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And Joe Boucher, in response:
Tim: "We've got a great cast, wonderful writers. The reviews have been amazing. Our fanbase is incredibly loyal. I'm very proud of what we've done..."
The Donald [cutting him off]: "But your ratings, Tim... I don't want excuses. Jerry's beating my ratings. I'm not firing myself or Mark Burnett. I'm sorry, Tim, it's a terrific show, but... [makes ever more elaborate hand gesture] you're fired."

Alibelle: Does anyone know how big Palm Springs is?
Sean K.: I don't think Palm Springs appreciates being talked about that way behind its back, Alibelle...

During the post & watch for Wonderfalls, DX notes that the Canadian watchers are consistently ahead in posting reactions:
DXMachina :
Huh. Canada is a minute ahead of us.
Tim Minear:
Cool! they'll be offended sooner. Or, whatever.
JohnSweden:
Yeah! And we'll be ambivalent about it, so watch yourself.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
From yesterday, in Bitches, on the subject of Silicon Valley tech and working/not working therefor:
DavidS: But then there's an IPO and you both retire rich, right?
Betsy HP: Given our track record, then there's a going-broke and the housing bubble bursts and we're underwater on the mortgage and they throw us out on the street and we have to sell the children on the black market for food.
NoiseDesign: Cut out the extra step, fatten them up now and just eat them yourselves when the bubble bursts.

Steph L.: The Chinese place gave me 3 fortune cookies with my order. Here is what they told me:
"You are protected by silent love and friendship near you."
"Your mind is creative, original, and alert."
"You have a kind and generous heart."
Those aren't fortunes, damn it! Fortunes *fortell* something! These were Platitude Cookies.
