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

Because that was the point I couldn't stop my tears anymore, despite the room being full of people to whom I'll need to explain how come my C++ simulation made me respond so strongly:
Fiona: In honour of all the newlyweds here, I just went and picked a bunch of flowers (a hyphen bouquet: lily-of-the-valley and forget-me-nots). Whenever I look at it over the next few days, I will think of you and wish you all the happiness in the world.
I think it was the so-very-Buffista combination of emotion (from the other side of the ocean, too!) and hyphens.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Karl, in Bitches:
May life be good and sweet to all of you, and bring you just enough misfortune that your friends and loved ones are able to lift you out of it, and no more.

Lilty Cash: Dear Katerina Bee,
I am writing in response to your plan for World Domination, and am inquiring if there might be a position for me in your organization. I'm an organized self-starter with a proclivity for both baby ducks and cable networks.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding this exciting plan of leadership.
Sincerely, Lilty Cash
Wait...I don't need a cover letter for domination plans! How 'bout I just bring the minions and the jelly donuts?

Trudy, on things to do in D.C. when you're dead...or at the F2F:
I'm going to visit the Constitution and see if it's still there.

DAMN it, P-C, you beat me to Trudy's post.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Suela: Bleargh. I'm supposed to know something about spectrum management to write this proposal. I don't.
Sigh.
ita: Consuela, keep red as far away from violet as you can. That always helps.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Trudy Booth, in Bitches:
Short and blonde and sorta pasty
The girl from Ypsilanti gets pastry
A certain donut makes pregnant Empresses
Go "ahhhhh"
Merinda:
...a girl from Ypsilanti's so tasty...
Wow, that was weird. You went "pastry" and I went "tasty."
Trudy:
Clearly you know more girls from Ypsilanti.
Aimée:
Ahem. *I* am from Ypsilanti.
Polter-Cow:
Ah, yes you are. And you are definitely tasty. Offensive as all get-out, but tasty.
