JohnSweden on the dangers of trying to keep up with conversations in Natter:
huh, got distracted by work and the conversation moved to zombies and shizzle nizzle. Never mind.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Matt, in Bitches:
I just got a spam e-mail with the subject line
[silly] Phillipino hookers
My mind immediately responded with the catchphrase "Silly hooker, tricks are for kids!"

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
Rick V.: I've been interested to read the family histories of the Buffistas, what with their long tenure in America and the whole melting pot thing. I grew up with the children and grandchildren of immigrants, in a town with a strong ethnic identity, where discussions of family ancestry took a different form:
"Where did your family come from?" 'The Sognefjord" "Oh, mine came from Trondheim"
I was one of the more ethnically diverse kids, because my mother's parents emigrated from Sweden instead of Norway. I tried to keep quiet about it, though, because who wants to be a weirdo?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

A friend and I collected them all, and would act out tiny sagas with them.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Out of context, Sarameg, in Natter:
I was laughing too hard to snap a picture of the camel sticking its head in the car window and lunging at my brother's crotch. Oh, the look on his face....

Nutty, talking about predators that kill humans:
I bet I could beat up a cheetah
Steph L.:
Why do you think the cheetah is so wimpy? Cheetahs worldwide are now e- mailing each other, plotting your slow demise.

Gudanov:
Colorful displays and dances are such a common method for attracting mates in the animal world, that one would think women would naturally be attracted mostly to gay men.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes. Sarameg is wary of the cheetah.
