BBaBB:
connie neil: This is where the mystic arts stuff kicks in, right? Internet programming is really done with stinky herbs and Latin, I bet.
Am-Chau Yarkona: Those noises you hear when you dial up? The dying squeals of an electronic sacrificial goat. Also known as putting the 'die' in 'dial up'.
Allyson: Okey. Someone tell me something happy, now.
Betsy: In a hundred years, all new people.
That one usually works for me.
bon bon:
My mom sent me a box of knives. I just picked it up from the doorman who commented, "now you can do a lot of cooking!" So I said, "Oh, these aren't for cooking..."
DXMachina: I'm in a very nice hotel room with wireless internet access, HBO, and decent room service. This is very important, because it's frelling raining elephants outside.
Polter-Cow in Minearverse- or Another One Sucked into the Buffista Vortex:
I think I've been spending too much time here. I'm feeling kind of sick, and around 5:30 this morning, I woke up pretty much delirious, and for about fifteen minutes, I experienced some sort of time dilation which felt like hours and hours of muddled thoughts about Buffistas and Tim Minear.
I didn't watch the speech, I just read the commentary:
Betsy HP: Apparently Bush just said "Secretary of State Rumsfeld".
t barfs
Steph L: Hmmm. White House RPG, methinks.
Not watching, not listening.
Jesse: The real problem with watching Bush on the teevee is the optic pattern of his tie. Don't they have people to figure this stuff out ahead of time?
Seph L: ....So, I pictured the Cabinet, all running around the White House, pretending to do each others' jobs.
Okay, so I put the TV on. Did he *seriously* just say "Nobody likes to see dead people on their television screens."?!?
Betsy HP: Jess, what is making that tie do that? Do you think it will open up a hellmouth?
Steph L.: His people are probably already drunk. What can they do? No matter how much they try to prep him, it does no good.
Betsy HP: "I'm sure something will pop into my head here, but with all this pressure of a press conference, it just hasn't yet."
In response to being asked for his greatest regret as President.
There still could be WMD, you know.
"He put me on the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one."
That's what makes it a press conference, not a speech, Mr. President.
Steph L.:
"I'm sure something will pop into my head here, but with all this pressure of a press conference, it just hasn't yet."
My God. You just can't make this shit up.
Betsy HP: He just started making a speech about how good freedom is.
Steph L.: You know how people order videotapes of the Super Bowl and watch it endlessly?
I wish I had some tapes of Clinton.
and a chaser...
Nutty: Not much to say about the Bush speech except to note that yes, that necktie was doing incredibly strange things. Also, as my roommate noted at top volume, "North Korea people" are generally known by their quainter, more convenient moniker of "North Koreans".
KristinT in Natter:
I must be wearing an especially provocative font.
erikaj in movies:
But I've just sat in one too many "you'll laugh, you'll cry," movies thinking I could've had a v-8.
I think we need the follow-up to Kristin's comment:
KristinT in Natter: I must be wearing an especially provocative font.
Gudanov: Sans-Serif really compliments your, um, eyes.
