Dear Mother Nature,
As many people have noticed and commented on, it is July.
Hence, it is no longer June.
Please to stop the June Gloom now, and give us back our orb.
Thank you,
People of Los Angeles

Dear LA:
Please take back your effin' sunshine. It's driving us nuts.
Thanks,

If punctuation doesn't protect you among the Buffistas, then I don't think I have any faith left in the world.
Steph L., in Literary:
Actually, none of the other books like "Fear and Loathing," because it's completely indiscriminate with its drugs, happily taking combinations that would make even the most jaded books cringe. And then the "Fear and Loathings" either try to chatter incessantly about bookmarks and booklights and folded-down corners and people who write in books, or they start shooting at the sci-fi books, which never ever ends well, because the sci-fi books have all the good technology to fight back, and a few Michael Crichtons always end up as collateral damage.
In Natter --
billytea: I give myself shuddering nightmares imagining where they would go with gay daleks. Though in your average Queer Eye ep, you could replace early Thom with a dalek. "YOUR FURNITURE PREDATES THE DISCOVERY OF FIRE. IT MUST BE EXTERMINATED."
In Natter, msbelle:
yes, ita, you are a loser and all of society will sneer at you and consider you an untrustworthy outsider. Consider yourself uninvited for Reindeer Games 2004.
Ouch. And Giggle.
Topic!Cindy: Oh dear, billytea. Please do not tempt me to COMM family problems.
billytea: Seriously, feel free. It's not like they're going out of their way to stay inconspicuous.
Allyson filks in Natter:
ita, the injured warrior, had a very nasty bruise
Head to toe she was covered, in all types of black and blues
All of the concerned strangers used to wince and give her cards
To all kinds of women's shelters, thinking she got whacked by bastards. (uh, bas-TARDS?)
Then one smoggy belt-test day
Gina Torres came to say:
ita with your bruise so bright
Won't you be my stunt-double, tonight?
Then all the fandom loved her,
And they shouted out with glee,
ita the injured warrior,
Can you get me an autograph from Zoe?
