In Bitches, following a discussion of safe sex:
Trudy: I'm voting for the female condom.
billytea: I for one am all agog to discover whether Trudy means Bush, Kerry or Nader.
Inara: You don't have to die alone. Mal: Everybody dies alone.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
In Natter, Betsy and Allyson demonstrate First World vs. Third World:
Betsy: The building with the cookies is having a fire evacuation.
No cookie for me.
I went for a walk around the lagoon.
A walk is not a cookie.
I returned to the vending machine. They were out of Peanut M&Ms, so I got Plain. Then I went upstairs.
We don't have any unflavored fizzy water. We only have artificial berry-flavored.
My plans for the remainder of the afternoon: Sulk.
Allyson: So in third world speak, it'd be all:
I went out to get an egg this morning but some sort of beast ate my hen, so I had to suck on the same root I had yesterday.
Then I decided to walk to the watering hole to get a bucket of water to start boiling leaves for that friggin' whooping cough that won't let up, and tripped over my 8th youngest kid, who succumbed to the ebola.
It's just not my day.

....and bon bon's follow-up to the above:
bon bon: Did I tell you all about my rich neighbor who has a chicken and seven kids? She's really got it made. Me, I'm a spinster. I WISH I had some root and a husband. At least I have one leg to take me past my daily stoning.

If I only had a brain...
Go ahead. Mock my pain.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Were we supposed to wait for permission?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Lilty comparing George in Dead Like Me to Jaye in Wonderfalls (Minearverse, of course):
To accuratly gauge the two, you'd have to kill Jaye and see how she deals with it.
Of course, we are talking about Tim. Jaye's death may have been the planned season 2 arc.
Bwah!!!

In Natter ...
Nat: I've just got into a pair of trousers which I havn't been able to get into for a year.
Anne W: Brava! Whose are they?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
From Movies:
Steph L.:
JZ, if loving Spider-Man makes you a cheap wretched whore, then count me among the slatternly.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
From LotR, all in the payoff:
connie neil:
Someone at New Line is probably looking at the spreadsheets and thinking "Well, the DVD release will make lots of money, but damn, I wish we were going to get that nice Christmas present of a new theatrical release this year--wait ..."
DavidS:
I'm on record as hoping they'd make an annual Christmas tradition of running the entire trilogy of extended editions theatrically. Wouldn't that be a fun annual tradition?
sumi :
I think that would be an excellent Christmas tradition.
Una :
They should film that....and, y'know, show it every Christmas.
Um.
