Sean: Yeah, the horse is not just gone from that barn.... at this point we have a bunch of albums full of postcards the horse has sent us from all the fabulous places it "wishes we were there."
In Movies, about the upcoming movie version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
ita:
What if they base it on the computer game, or something?
DX:
If they do, I'm spoiled for the Babelfish sequence.
(I'm sorry. I know it's not fair to COMM Infocom jokes. But funny!)
Shift, in Other Media, w/o context, of course:
When it comes to Dick, it doesn't even need to be porny.
Lilty Cash: ... Now, replying with "I'd rather throw a stapler at your head" is the wrong thing to do here, right?
DXMachina: Your mistake is replying. This just warns her. The correct response would be to throw the stapler immediately.

bon bon: I came in here to SQUEEE because big partner whose law babies I want to have because he's so awesome asked if I would like to go to a white collar crime luncheon tomorrow!
Jesse: What do you get to do at a white collar crime luncheon? Use someone else's credit card to pay?
Jesse: OK. I just got an email over a listserv where the guy signed himself: JD, MBA, MA Int'l Aff's, MSW, MSHR, MPP
Nutty:
MBA + MSW = putting at-risk children to work in your evil factory?
MPA + MPP = First your department, tomorrow the world!
MSW + MA Int'l Affairs = holding the hand of the whole world.
JD + MBA = you are the devil and make sweet sweet love to Saddam Hussein.
A thrust-and-parry on the dangers of the internet in Minearverse:
Betsy: At my 13-year-old daughter's annual checkup, I was told not to let her use the computer for more than an hour a day. Yes, as a safety precaution. Apparently Internet stalkers are powerless in 59 minutes, but in 61, watch out.
DXMachina: That was the reason they gave? Internet stalkers? Did they also suggest you have Lo-Jack implanted just in case your daughter is five minutes late for dinner?
Betsy: Yeah. "It's a progressive issue. First they only talk to their friends, and then they think it's okay to talk to their friends' friends, and then they start talking to strangers." My daughter's pediatrician, protecting her from the bad men. From now on, I'm sending the kid out to hang around streetcorners instead.
Emily: Oh, I figured they were trying to give her a few good years before the repetitive motion injuries started to kick in.
