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!
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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
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.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Cause it's some kind of brilliant, Daniel's latest hit single:
Oh God, I've earwormed myself....
Welcome to the earworm,
we'll treat it like a game
we have all the filk you'll need
the tunes drive you insane.
The Buffistas you will find,
are there for friends in need
but if you got an earworm baby,
we're less cure than disease.
To the earworm,
Welcome to the earworm.
We can make you run and scream......

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Allyson in Minearverse:
So. The dentist wants to break my jaw and fix my overbite. I'm thinking I could eBay the chance to break my jaw and make an assload of money off of fandom.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Erin in Bitches, where we're (surprise surprise!) talking about sex:
It's like porny Green Eggs and Ham: Did you do it on a bed? Or did you do it on the dead? Did you do it on the lam? Did you do it, Sam I am!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
curse you, wee Jen!

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

Lilty Cash in Natter after someone finds her hot for liking libraries:
Yes, my next plans are for some sort of calender shot on the grounds. January: See Lilty pose in the stacks. February: Watch out, Lilty's in the cage! March: I didn't know a person could even fit in that drop box!

Hec explains Bergman in Movies:
So there's Death and playing chess with him. And the Animaniacs did a good parody of this, as did Flaming Carrot. Then they dance at the end on a hill as the sun goes down. It's a Dance With Death. Life that is. Except when it's a Game of Chess With Death. Unless it is the Flaming Carrot in which case it is Whiffleball With Death. So there's a fair amount of death in The Seventh Seal. Very few people realize that it was actually a series not unlike the Carry On movies. The Sixth Seal (iirc) involved Death in drag with enormous knockers somewhere in East Ealing. Got it now?
