I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Insights into the childhood play of Buffistas in Natter:
Gudanov:
I made a huge Millenium Falcon out of cardboard and masking tape for my Star Wars action figures.
tommyrot:
See, as a child I never would have gone through all that trouble, unless my ultimate goal was to set it on fire.
sarameg:
We subjected ours to duststorms, avalanches, explosions and monsoons in the tractor tire sandbox we had. We liked simulating natural and unnatural disasters. Of course, sometimes this meant limbs were lost. One Han Solo had to have his head reattached with superglue and went on to a stellar career in modelling telescopes- he was just to scale.

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

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
kat perez: I actually ran across From Justin to Kelly. Horrifyingly, frighteningly bad. And since I have this compulsion when it comes to teen movies, I watched the whole thing.

Giant mutant ant colony found in Australia
MELBOURNE, Australia (AFP) - A huge ant colony measuring 100 kilometres (62 miles) across has been found under the southern Australian city of Melbourne, scientists said.
Monash University researcher Elissa Suhr said the supercolony of Argentine ants was threatening native biodiversity in Australia's second largest city.
Suhr said the introduced pest's natural aggression kept numbers under control in its native country but the genetic make-up of the ants found in Australia had mutated allowing them to cooperate to build the supercolony.
Giant mutant ants. Australia needs billytea.
-t: I'm sure it's a serious problem for Melbourne, but I am finding the idea of mutant ants whose superpower is cooperation quite charming
ita: Can you imagine getting bitten by one of them and turning into a (ptui) team player?
How incredibly disappointing.

Who? moi??

Continuing the antly fun:
Robin: I heard that colony of ants is beleived to be awaiting an event of some sort--that their unprecedented cooperation is geared towards one end. Scientists have decoded a series of sonar beeps from the colony and they seem to be saying "Billytea, Oh Antly Lord, all is prepared for your return"
Lilty Cash: I can't help but picture them in little ant sneakers and drinking red Kool Aid.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Trudy: Cindy, now you have me all sniffy. I'll never hear that song again without seeing your dance.
Cindy: Trudy, when you're picturing it, please remember all my flaws. My cheekbones are just a little too high, my waist is just a little too small, and my breasts may be too pert! And when my brilliant green/blue eyes flash in anger, they still manage to convey the hidden depths of my sorrow and vulnerabilty masked in strength.
