Aurelia: SimCity has a Detroit scenario that is spookily accurate. It is impossible to maintain roads and prevent riots at the same time. I learned to appreciate the potholes while I lived there.
Simon: You're out of your mind. Early: That's between me and my mind.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
NovaChild, in Natter, discussing postal codes:
Well, to be fair, Mississippi does contain FOUR S's. Meaning S is a pretty reasonable letter to follow it.
On the other hand it also contain's four i's.
Okay. I was right the first time. Mississippi will revolt and conquer Michigan, so as to steal the postal code.
We have shotguns and pickup trucks. Whaddayougot?

What is even happening?

Lilty Cash in Minearverse:
My uncle Guy is a Yankees fan. He threatens to leave me his jersey when he dies, so I tell him I will burn it on his grave. We're a loving family.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Because even Robin has her limits:
But the places they use therapy animals, (hospitals, nursing homes) have so little contact in them that petting even a chicken probably feels good. It's warm and alive and soft and for some of the patients that could be a real treat.
That being said, a CHICKEN? Come ON, people, you can do better.

ita: Giving medals to animals is weird.
billytea: I always thought it was pretty funny celebrating my parents' dog's birthday. I imagine he's thinking "Ok, on the plus side, steak; but why are they all watching me eat it? Is there something in it? Is this some kind of practical joke?" And then he'd eat it anyway, because after all, he's a dog.

billytea: Able to leap tall fences in a single bound! Oh, wait, they all do that

ahem....
This should be:
ita: I have a pragmatic view of animals -- they're food, or workers, and sometimes fun. Some of them do amazing things, like save people or help the blind, etc, but hero? Too much anthropomorphising for me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Beverly, because it's wonderful:
Ooh! I just looked out my front window. The willow oak has fully leafed out, the sun is in high after-noon position, and it's just like being in a room with translucent green walls! So pretty. I forget how gorgeous it is with leaves on, and how wonderful, secretive and safe the green shade makes me feel.
