It was sarameg, I think.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

'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"
An apt analogy:
ita:
Like the billboard along Santa Monica that says "It's why garage doors have windows."
Daniel C. Jensen:
Just like Microsoft Windows, they're there because it's a feature that looks pretty and without any regard that they might be used to gain easy access to your stuff.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I haven't seen this here yet, and it deserves immortalization. Kristen explains how the book club will work, in her own special way, in Lightbulbs:
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.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Aimée: Not that this makes any difference to you, but it's about 1/5 of a mile down the street from MM and I.
Thomash: Hey, I've walked from Universal to your place. It's at least 2/6 to 4/12 of a mile

What is even happening?
Plei: Why the fuck don't they make creativity laxatives?
billytea: They're still too harsh. There've been too many accidents where a person couldn't reach the keyboard in time.
Plei: I once wrote most of a short story on a mud-covered shopping bag.
I can take it, damn it.
billytea: Sure, that's what they all say. Then you find yourself at the end of a feverish writing session, completely emptied, and reading back through everything that wound up on the paper and shouting "This is complete and utter crap!"
Everyone swears, no, they won't sue, but once you've been through an experience like that...
Sean: Next thing you know, you're all emaciated, lying in a gutter somewhere, begging for dollar bills just to have something to write on....

Plei asks:
Hey, mind of hive, is there a particular word for a cult that grows up around a dead person?
Daniel C. Jensen:
Christianity?
