In Bitches, ita teaches me how to go on a safari:

Here's another one, P-C.

1: I'm going on safari, and I'm bringing an angel.
2: I'm going on safari, and I'm bringing a serpent.
1: Nope.
3: I'm going on safari and I'm bringing a pearly gate.
1: Nope.
4: I'm going on safari and I'm bring an immortal
1: Yes!
4: <smug smile>
5: I'm going on safari and I'm bringing a god?
1: Nope.
6: I'm going on safari and I'm bringing a spike?
1: Yup.

And then someone says "Guys who slept with Buffy???" and 2 and 3 and 5 try and kill 1.

Liese S.: Someone knocked on my door with a box. Now I have forty-eight guitar picks, twenty pairs of drum sticks, five trigger cables, two humidifiers, and a pewter drum key made into jewelry.

It's like the twelve days of Christmas, but without all the extraneous service workers and livestock.

In Bitches, I hurt myself laughing at connie's response, just because I can almost literally hear Nilly saying it.

beth b

we aren't keeping Nilly?

connie neil

Sees the headlines now: "Israeli citizen held hostage by far-flung cabal of Buffy fans. Hostage says, 'No, no, I'm fine, don't hurry on my account.'"

In Natter, re Dolly the cloned sheep:

Aimee: Twas the teats that killed her.

Shrift: t accidentally snarfs water into sinus cavity

Heather: I want this to be in a ballad or epic poem or play or something.

P-Cow:
The Ballad of Dolly, Sheep of the Ages

She was a sheep, a gentle sheep
Who grazed upon the field.
The farmers said they would not keep
Her food; it had congealed.
And so she brayed a sweet lament
For all her long lost hay.
Though her fate seemed heaven-sent
She would not last the day.
Dolly cried as cloned sheeps do.
And as they often will, sir,
She tripped upon her hoody-hoo.
Yes, 'twas the teats that killed her.

tommyrot in Minearverse:

I think there should be an online support group for people suffering from Munchausen by Internet.

Yeah, I have a sick sense of humor; what of it?

In Natter, fun with xposting:

Susan W.: I think the Kerry campaign should buy TDS spot about Bush and his words triumphing over facts and run it in all the swing states.

NovaChild: Very true. But at least then you're naked.

In Bitches....

MFNLaw:

Hooray, billytea! I'm glad that the planets are finally beginning their alignment for you.

billytea

Oh, let's not be too hasty in that. I can see it now:

Jupiter: "Stuff it. Let's do something nice for billytea for a change."

Saturn: "Pfft. Where's the fun in that?"

Jupiter: [leans over and whispers in Saturn's ear]

Saturn: BWAHAHAHAHA!

Dani: The only thing that would stop me from eating a cheesecake is visible mold.

Kalshane, in reply to Sarameg, in Natter:

It's like we have ... feral IT staff or something.

This gives me this amusing image of unshaven geeks in rumpled business clothes wearing ties like headbands dashing on all fours between cubicles and cautiously sniffing electronics.

That said, it sounds like their management needs to figure out how to housebreak them or something.

billytea filking in Bitches: Treat me like a fool
Treat me mean and cruel
Just COMM me
Tear my posts apart
Say they've got no heart
Just COMM me

I would beg and steal
Just to see my name
Heading up a COMM

(my first time committing COMM, incidentally, of course I got the formatting wrong...)
