Allyson: Trying to think of another movie where the heroine or female lead is forced to wear something ridiculous and then spend the rest of the flick having to fight in heels and a dress.
Betsy: Some Like It Hot.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Deb, in F2F. Context be damned:
I've not only eaten tapenade without the capers - which by the way can kill me - I've made tapenade without capers.
And it was, though I say so myself, tapenade. Damned good tapenade, too.
And if some guy named Anatole in Villefranche-sur-Mer wants to dis my caperless yet nonfatal tapenade because the essence of tapenade is surely the capers?
He can baiser mon cul.
Damn it. I'm still arguing about fucking sandwich zen.

Aimée: DX!!
I had a dream last night that I attended a lecture that was being given by you on strawberry-flavored mitochondria.
DXMachina: Now that's just silly. Everyone knows mitochondria taste of vanilla.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Trudy, in Natter, RE Seth Green:
he's probably talking about that gigantic fat chimp lady to HIS online friends RIGHT NOW. I do not care in the least.

My very favorite bookstore customer was the one who walked up to the counter, cutting in front of several people in line, and yelled, "ORCHID THIEF!"... to which of course the only possible reply was "how dare you accuse me of such a thing?"

What is even happening?
deb: Line in my official bio says it all:
She's spent a lot of time in the company of musicians of a rather less traditional character than her protagonist Ringan Laine, but has no intention of going into detail, because she doesn't want them coming after her with machetes or lawyers.

In Buffista Fic:
erikaj: Thursday100 is having the worst drabble challenge evah this week. A story that is one hundred word sentence, grammatical and exact. Why? And I think it can't be done, either. And ew. Signed, short, choppy sentences' bitch. (resignedly dusting semicolon.)
NovaChild: Well, Erika, you do raise a good point about the intense difficulty of constructing sentences of such an absurdedly high word count, especially if the labyrinthine sentence is required to tell a compelling story; however, I do believe (nay, I KNOW) that it is possible, perhaps not even especially difficult, to construct such a montrosity of a sentence so long as the writer is not especially interested in maintaining the interest of his or her glorious readers for an extended period, and is capable of using hundreds of scintillatingly lusciously luxurious adjectives and equally attractive adverbs with every conceivable noun.

As long as I still get to punch people's faces in, I suppose that's fine.
