The status is NOT quo.

Hil R. cracks me the hell up:

Just talked to my mom. I mentioned I had the Avenue Q soundtrack. The following conversation ensued:

Mom: I think I might want to see that.

Me: I'm not sure it's really your type of thing. I think you'd react to it kind of like you did to Urinetown. (She thought Urinetown was "weird" and really didn't like it.)

Mom: It's that kind of thing? It's weird like that?

Me: It's got a song called "The Internet is for Porn"

Mom: Oh, I'm fine with that. Urinetown was weird. Porn is normal.

I couldn't stop laughing for about ten minutes.

In Natter ...

Tom Scola: Last night I dreamed that I solved the XML-Relational impedence mismatch problem, making it trivially easy to store XML in a normalized database. Only there was a monster going around absorbing people's memories, and I was afraid he was going to steal my idea. When I woke up I realized my solution made absolutely no sense.

Kalshane: So the monster did catch you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Natterinos discuss the finer points of space exploration:

Nutty: Cannot use a bicycle to get to outer space.

Kalshane: Well, not without a glowing-fingered bug-eyed raisin on board, anyway.

tommyrot: A glowing-fingered bug-eyed raisin who's died and risen from the dead, you mean.

Kalshane: I don't know. Is ressurection an essential component of achieving escape velocity? (I mean, outside of using a really big sustained explosion.)

billytea: Yes. Hence the expression, 'raisin the dead'.

Jesse: Here's another declarative sentence, all!

Mostly, due to identification reasons.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Discussing Macbeth in Literary --

Vortex: Don't fuck with the Scottish Play, man. Bad ju ju.

connie neil: Besides, think of the paper cuts when you try to get carnal with the text.

ita: Dude. Etext.

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

In Bitches, the irony of Reagan worship:

SailAweigh - If they want to honor him, put him on money. Then we can all laugh, not use the thing, and they can take it out of circulation because he wasn't all that hot after all.

Lilty Cash - They should also put him on a ridiculously large bill. That way, the people that have him will be the people that loved him.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Fay in Bitches:

Excessive profanity? Wouldn't dream of...oh, hang on, who the fuck am I trying to fool?

I'm fucking swearing my fucking bollocks off right now, you cunt, and it's fucking great!

eyes horrified thread sheepishly. smiles.

Did I mention that I have a very big straw hat, covered with flowers? And that I drink tea?

bats eyelashes

Honestly, it's far less offensive when you factor in the English accent, fuckers.

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

brenda m: How come nobody told me about the Peanut Butter Oreos?

And why won't somebody take them away from me?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

tommyrot on Proyas' assessment of his new film I, Robot:

"It's the most faithful cinematic reworking of Asimov's stories to date, true to the spirit and ideas, yet reenvisioned."

It might be more accurate to say:

"It's the most reenvisioned cinematic reworking of Asimov's stories to date, reenvisioning the spirit and ideas, yet reenvisioned."

Or maybe:

"It's reenvisioned."

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Billytea, in Natter:

Meanwhile, I came aceross this gorgeous headline:

Bruce Springsteen invited to rock against Bush

There's more than one mental image accompanying that. He's sucking his thumb in one of 'em.
