ita's mom pays us two chickens a week to be "friends" with her daughter, and yes, contradicting bon bon is in the contract
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Teppy (Steph L) in Bitches:
I have always LOVED my doctor because he doesn't seem to think a person will die if her weight doesn't fit into column on a chart.
Plus, he's funny. When he told me he wanted me on meds, I told him that I really wanted to get my first heart attack in before age 35, and I felt that medication would really hinder me in reaching that goal. He didn't even bat an eye; he just said "You should start smoking, then."

The status is NOT quo.
ita in Bureaucracy expresses beautifully how we all feel now and then when the hivemind leaves us in the dust:
Are you about ready to explain it to those of us less ... well, I have no idea less what, since I have no idea what the hell you're on about? Or do you need some more time to ... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

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
Nutty: George Tenet was like the ultimate political battered wife. He kept being like, Yeah, that was my fault, I do everything wrong, he's always right, I provoked him. Hopefully Tenet is now in a shelter somewhere, learning how to assert his right not to be blamed.
... and also writing a tell-all book. Tell-all books are key to the recovery process.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ita, in Natter:
My plant relationships seem to involve regular trips to the brink of death. You have no idea how excited I am by the prospect of extending that to homo sapiens.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Deena in Great Write, explaining a presently popular childrens' television character to the kidTV-challenged:
Mash a teletubby. Add LSD. Sprinkle with weird theremin like sound and glitter. Swirl in the air and provide cut out people figures to watch. That's a boobah.

Allyson: If you paid me 14 bucks and a pack of Marlboro's to do so, I'd tear your nose off with a plier and replace it with Silly Putty.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Toddson, in F2F:
I was talking to some friends and we decided that cicadas are the teenagers of the insect world - they're awkward, noisy, and think of nothing but sex. After all - they ARE 17!

Lilty Cash: I know. He made me feel like a complete failure in the person department.
Wolfram: My wife used to have a friend who did this. Now she's a mean ex-friend. You don't need friends to make you feel like a failure. That's why we have family.

In F2F, a discussion about arachnids:
Toddson - Just to add to the fun - were you aware that king crabs are also arachnids?
Jessica - Yes, but unless you live in Alaska, you'll pretty much only ever see the legs. Which look like food, not spiders. (Same with lobster -- whole, they look like the overgrown bugs they are. But their tails look like food.)
ita - Their flesh looks like food. Their tails look like a strange way to spend an afternoon.
