From FayJay, a continuation of her hymn of Tyr-praise:
I don't understand how they ever get anything done on that ship, actually, because surely everyone's first thought upon waking must be: "Hmm, consciousness. Must go get Tyr naked and have hot monkey sex." Or possibly: "Hmm. consciousness. must go get Tyr naked and have hot monkey sex, and then punch the captain for being an irritating git." But apparently other stuff happens too?
Rebecca Lizard in the midst of the grammar & usage debate over in Firefly:
Dude, how could anyone not love diagramming sentences? It's excellent! It's a great game! It's like laying the sentences out and eviscerating them and getting to see how they work as they whimper and squirm and die their little sentencey deaths.
[edited to correct grammar mistake that got by RL & me.]
(Theo, could you edit the "lying" to "laying"? Just for posterity?)
Ah, shit, yes. I was in a hurry.
Or... being subconsciously ironic?
Jesse: Why play Pac Man when there's pinball?
Caroma: Pinball doesn't go wocka wocka wocka.
...in Firefly. Yes, I'll never catch up at this rate.

Typoboy, Literary:
Hospitals do strange things. I got a call from the hospital who had treated my father back in 1998; they were doing a customer satisfaction survey.
"So basically you want to know how satisfied by father was with your treatment?"
"Basically, yes."
"Well since he *DIED* while under your care I would say , 'not very'."
Crying in a good way, I hope, msbelle.
Aimee in Natter:
Ok, so Monday is sucking hard core here. My entire office seems to have received this from the ass of the good-day/bad-day supplier.
