Wolfram: Drinking, yes. Driving, no. Works out nicely.
ita: It's like someone omniscient planned the whole thing...
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

SailAweigh in Angel:
Comparing Angel S3 to Alias : Lauren irritated the fuck out of me. Mainly because I was a big Sydney/Vaughn shipper and she got in the way of my ship. But season 3 cured me of that. It was as bad, if not worse than, the Buffy/Angel angstfest that was season 3.

A/V: "You're right. I must repress my love...er evil/adulterous desires."
B/S/A/V: "Woe is us, for if we boink, we must go to hell/the NSA."
Audience: "Enough, already! Boink or die."

SusanW in Natter ...
DH first commented what a large team it was relative to NZ's population (something like 150 athletes and a country of 4 million), and speculated, WRT all the shout-outs at the Oscars this year, that they were the only 150 who hadn't been involved in filming LotR. I said, "Are you kidding? I bet the fencers and archers at least were extras." Which led to speculation about the coverage: "And here's Bob Smith from New Zealand competing in archery--he was the fourth elf from the left at the Battle of Helm's Deep."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ginger in Natter, commenting on the opening ceremonies:
I can only take a certain number of sentences that contain the phrase "that symbolizes the ..." After that much symbolism, I just want to lie down.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Kalshane and other Browncoats fight the good fight at Wizard World: (From Firefly thread)
I think the best, though, was the guy who had never heard of the show and was surprised to hear it was a)cancelled and b)they're making a major motion picture out of it.
Guy:"A TV movie?" Us: "No, a full theatrical release." Guy: "So it's an independant film?" Us: "No, it's being released by Universal and filmed on their lot." Guy: "Really?" Us: "Yes." Guy: "But the show was cancelled?" Us: "Yes. Because Fox is stupid." Guy: "Oh."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Trudy in Bitches, summing it all up about the Olympics, really:
Yesterday I was watching the coxless mens four. My inner twelve year old was outer.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Daniel, bringing the funny in Bitches:
Having the diabetes thing is annoying me with the change in perception. Now it's making me reinterpret classic songs.
For instance, I was listening to the oldies station and "Love The One You're With" came on.
If you're down...
and confused,
And you don't remember...
who you're talking to,
Concentration slips away...
At which point my brain goes.... "Sounds hyperglycemic. He might want to take his insulin..."

Trudy:
So I can use my Scrubbing Bubbles O'Pork? Because it really is my favorite cleanser.
lexine:
Trudy - that is in prep for your milk bath, right?
Trudy:
But of course!

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
