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?

Heather Alayne, in Bitches:

Amazing Race Guys What Own the Place Up the Street. *

*not really the name of the article

In Bitches, talking about The Amazing Race:

Sean K: Too bad we couldn't get all Buffistas on one team.

Jessica: The way to do it would be for 12 teams of 2 Buffistae each to all race against each other. It would be like being in the B'cy thread ALL THE TIME.

Miracleman: I just threw up in my mouth a little.

On thwumps and other issues, in Bitches:

Jessica: I'd thwump, but I just got back from the gym, and the endorphins are making me feel un-thwumpy. Hooray for endorphins!

Cashmere: I just had tiramisu from Olive Garden and it did the same thing, only I didn't have to sweat.

Kristen explains Book Club:

Okay, Allyson here is my NSYNCified version of what JenP said:

Let's imagine for a moment that instead of a Book Club Thread, we were talking about...a Popslash Fic Round Robin Writing Thread. So instead of "genres" you have pairings. The first month, we're gonna write JC/Justin fic. Everybody throws out ideas on what story we should write for JC & Justin. So one person says they want a Coming of Age/First Love Story in Germany. And someone else says they want a present day "Justin is an evil diva" fic. And someone else says they want a "JC is a kinky motherfucker with a heart of gold, yo" fic. And Plei wants this cracked out AU where JC is Batman and Justin is the Boy Wonder and Chris is, like, Alfred or something. And ita keeps wandering around saying, "Why isn't it a Chris month yet, damnit?"

*ahem*

So after everyone's shared what they'd like to write, the field is narrowed. Plei's cracked out AU is tossed because, you know, CRACK. And everyone ignores ita because, hi, it's JC & Justin month. Which leaves us with three options. Those three options are put up at MrPoll or what have you and the slashers vote.

Most votes win. And everyone starts writing about how JC is a kinky motherfucker with a heart of gold, yo.

Next time around, it's the same thing only we're focusing on ideas for the pairing of Lance & Chris.

I think.

erika: I went to the lamest play ever today. And that might be factually true, less than half the cast can walk.
