Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

KristinT:

On the other hand, I had a hysterical conversation with a couple of new money types who were wandering through Old Saybrook in search of an "up and coming" part of CT to settle in. It was so funny--they grilled me for twenty minutes in the parking lot of a random restuarant and used the phrase "up and coming" at least fifteen times. They were very concerned that they find this "up and coming" community, and for some reason seemed to think that I had the key to it.

I must have been wearing something from Talbots.

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

My first thought on reading 'up and coming' was, "I bet this is what they call Viagra in Japan."

Gus, in Natter, brings birthday cheer:

Sweeps up Trudy and carries her into the Virtual Boudoir with the express intention of inventing an entirely new sin. The sin will be known as The Trudy Sin, in honor of it having been invented on her birthday.

And Cindy in Bitches, prepares her story for the case worker:

When Ben was brand new, I was feeding him one day, and Days came on the TV. When the theme music started, and MacDonald Carey started with the, "Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives..." voice over, he turned his little head right towards the TV. He did this consistently thereafter, so I know it wasn't a fluke. He was transfixed by it. When he was X months old, we got him a toy hour glass rattle (very simple, and shaped exactly like an hourglass). He couldn't say his "D" sounds--they came out as "G" sounds. He would grab it, and screech, "Gays of our Wives. Gays of our WIIIIIIIIVES!"

Ann, that's a ferret.

Cindy's on a roll today. In Natter:

tommyrot: Kissing her was nice and exciting. But what really caused the shock and awe was the first time she put her hand down my pants - because I wasn't expecting it.

Cindy: Nobody expects the Pantish Inquisition.

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

Gudanov in Natter:

Nothing really says get offa my lawn like an AK-47.

In Firefly:

Kalshane: The only issue I personally take with costuming is when it's inappropriate for the place in question (Klingons at a Renessaince Faire, for instance.)

tommyrot: The importance of Klingons to the Renaissance has been tragically ignored.

Kalshane: They did write Hamlet, after all.

Sometimes it's the most randome things that just crack me right the hell up. Allyson in Firefly ...

I balk. This is me balking. I am a Balkan.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Nicole in Bitches, ornamenting Tuesday as a crap day:

My ex and Bush are both in town today. This has to be a sign of the Apocalypse, right?

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

Lee: My alarm clock confused me this morning.

Ginger: First thing in the morning, air confuses me. I consider it a victory to be able to find the floor with my feet.

What is even happening?

deb: I have to constantly remind people to spell my name the biblical way. Because, "Debra"? I am not an emerging daughter of the sun god, yo.

Matt: My mom goes through the same thing with people who insist on spelling her name "Sara." Some people are actually happy to have old-fashioned names, Kymburli!
