ita on Great Danes, but also setting up billytea --
They're lazy as all hell, and if I get one I don't like, it won't live that long anyway.
Did you point out that the same would probably be true of a husband?
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

What is even happening?
I don't know why it makes me laugh so.
Possibly because the idea of a cat actually deigning to play anything, let alone play Fetch, never mind the screaming? Comedy gold.
(Did I explain the fun out yet--because that's my gift. Sure, it's not as cool as saying death is my gift, but the end is the same.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In Bitches:
Cashmere: Thanks to Connie, I can discuss this here. DH wants to take a picture of Owen in a roasting pan, naked, surrounded by potatoes and carrots. Is this wronger than a thing that's wrong, parental photography run amok or a way to make Anne Geddes swallow her own tongue?
billytea: Susan should do it! She can title the picture "Annabel Lecter".

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Another Cut from Scola's Greatest Hits in Natter:
Rock Sta Tom Scola:
Tea, on the other hand, rocks. Plus, it's an antioxidant.
Right now, I'm so antioxidized, I can put out fires just by looking at them.
I sense a new E! special in the works.

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

I'm almost done with Wuthering Heights. You know what would make this book better? Zombies.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
tommyrot in Natter:
I bought an R.D. Laing book, the novel of Solaris and a book for Gus called "No Touch Monkey! and Other Travel Lessons Learned Too Late."

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
Sean K: I've been doing my tea wrong for my whole adult life, haven't I?
Kalshane: Well, you season with mold, so it's entirely possible.
ita: You just got the hang of eggs. Don't rush yourself.
Sean K: baby steps. baby steps.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Nilly, relating her first experience with US bureaucrats in F2F (I really ought to COMM the whole thing, but this bit caused the biggest monitor stain):
The people at the embassy seem to be concerned most with the creation of lines, arranging them nicely, and once they're satisfied, moving them to some other place in the room, to see how they look in there.
