BetsyHP re: Slytherins in Harry Potter in Literary:
It just doesn't make sense, dammit. Why would you tolerate several hundred years of a public school one-quarter of whose population are doomed to dress well and cackle a lot?
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I am dying over here - literally nearly choked to death on a seedless Thompson grape. connie neil in Bitches, after reading of Fay's refusal to wax her arms and her smouldering intent to hit the Egyptian beaches and terrify the populace with her unwaxed arms:
Somehow I don't imagine the beaches of Alexandria ringing out with the cry "Aiee! It is the Blonde Beast! Allah preserve us, save the children!"

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
Hil R.: Ted Kennedy just pronounced both R's in "harbor." It sounded weird.
tommyrot: He also pronounced the R in "idea."

Nutty should have discovered sports years ago. I'm just sayin'...
Also, there aren't many players who can get by on hitting alone. So you have to be a good hitter and able to catch something thrown at you and able to judge really big distances when throwing to your teammates. And there's this whole group dynamics thing to baseball, where they play every day and they can't win with only one star and they just have to keep chipping away at it. It is sort of like watching an office full of actuaries, except they all wear tight pants, and run to the photocopier.
One skill basketball players need that baseball players often lack is the ability to move and locate oneself in a small personal bubble. Johnny Damon is rather known for his ability to crash into anything and everything in his way, willy nilly. (This includes other players.)

The difference between me and Spider-Man is that he knew he could take it. Because he was a comic book hero, and thus gets to be a genius with superpowers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Polter-Cow, making things clear in Bitches:
Everyone should eat Indian food. And by "eat," I mean "make out with," and by "Indian food," I mean "an Indian boy," and by "an Indian boy," I mean "me."

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Megan E, a thought inspired by the show The 4400:
They should make a TV show called The 404. It would be about detectives looking for missing websites.

Allyson on fans at conventions:
I love that thing where, a fan has been waiting for like YEARS to just ask this ONE thing. To have that 30 second interaction with a hero, someone they admire so deeply, and you think they may combust. Love that. Even the cringeworthy questions, where I think to myself, "WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE SOCIAL SKILLS? WERE YOU RAISED IN A SMALL, DARK BOX LIKE.... VEAL?"
