in Natter,

beathen:

Not that you care, but the meteorologists here are saying we'll have our first frost tonight.

shrift:

Argh! No! Too soon! Death to the meteorologists! Off with their oddly-coiffed heads!

Jen: My Lex action figure just fell off my dresser and his left foot broke off. Now the only way I can make him stand up is to have him snuggle with Spike.

That should be standard treatment for a broken foot.

Ginger: I'm a bad citizen. Bush said freedom one too many times and I had to turn off the television in order to save it.

Ginger: I think John Edwards should approach Cheney with a cross and holy water crying "Depart, minion of Satan." It's a calculated risk; if Cheney doesn't turn into a demon and fly away, Edwards will look stupid. If Cheney does turn into a demon, we might get some of the religious right.

Darn you, and your fast fingers, wee Trudy.

Oh, I'm gonna go ahead and COMM the whole exchange. From Natter:

-t: I want to watch the debate tonight just because if Cheney's head does, in fact, explode, I don't want to miss it. Catching it on the news just wouldn't be the same.

Calli: I don't think it will explode so much as the semi-human mask will split open, revealing the horrors beneath

-t: Don't want to miss that, either. In that case, I would even watch Fox News, just to see how they manage to spin it.

tommyrot:

I don't think it will explode so much as the semi-human mask will split open, revealing the horrors beneath.

I'm thinking three eyes and a proboscis.

Beverly: Predator crab face. IJS.

DavidS: Writhing mass of beslimed tentacles shrouding one unblinking cat eye.

Steph:

I would even watch Fox News, just to see how they manage to spin it.

"In a powerful move, Vice President Cheney announced that, henceforth, he intends to be totally honest about all aspects of his role as VP. His first act under this new Always Honesty campaign was to reveal the truth of his species.

"John Edwards refused to comment on what his own species is, leaving questions and suspicions all around."

Ginger: I think John Edwards should approach Cheney with a cross and holy water crying "Depart, minion of Satan." It's a calculated risk; if Cheney doesn't turn into a demon and fly away, Edwards will look stupid. If Cheney does turn into a demon, we might get some of the religious right.

[edited 'cause -t is not t-]

poor, poor amych in Bitches ('cause we've all had this day):

Work! Giant sparkly CLUSTERFUCK! Boss! Left town! Didn't turn over work due TWO MONTHS AGO until ON HER WAY TO AIRPORT! When turned over, files are FUCKED! And special shiny bonus, files are READ-ONLY! So not only can I not FIX THEM (which SHOULDN'T BE MY JOB) I couldn't even UPLOAD THEM (which she should've done herself) if they were perfect. ALSO!! Ongoing file conversion issues on multimedia files are BECAUSE SHE UPLOADED THE WRONG COPY!! And there was NEVER ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM! But before leaving, she CALLED IN SOMEONE FROM CALIFORNIA to work on the NONEXISTENT SERVER PROBLEMS!!@!

(I go hit things now.)

In Movies:

ita: Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, Bob Hoskins.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Jesse: Jet Li in a dog collar.

ita: No, that I've thought of.

On the Edwards-Cheney debate:

Nutty: Actually, it's a little annoying, but I imagine it's the sort of thing that plays well on TV. (I am listening on public radio.)

KristinT: Nutty, you can replicate the TV experience.

Get a Ken doll and a troll doll. Set them next to each other. Listen.

More VP debate fun - about Cheney:

KristinT: All I can say is that if I had any question about who our real President has been these past four years, I don't now.

Cashmere: He and Karl Rove take turns sticking their hands up Dubya's puppet hole.
