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.
Bunnies frighten me.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In Natter:
tommyrot: Dammit, Prick Up Your Ears is on. It is one of the best movies ever.
Polter-Cow: That sounds like one fucked up porno.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
JohnSweden on listening to the Buffista-Americans do a play-by-play on the Vice Presidential Debate:
So we all watched a flawed protagonist terrorized by a horrible undead monster. The protagonist ran around ineffectually and failed to save his friends and family while the monster destroyed and killed much that he held dear and brought the country to ruin.
I was at Shaun of the Dead. What were you guys watching?

erikaj, on pessimism about the coming election:
I worry too. But I have to feel all "They can't take the sky from me," right now. Because if They win, I'll have forever to be depressed and must pace myself.

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
billytea: Dick Cheney, ladies and gentlemen. A heartbeat away from the Presidency, and a cheese fry away from God.

Cass in BITCHES:
Oh and highlight of the afternoon while talking to my mom: "Oh it could have been worse, like the duck necrophilia." And then having to explain the gay duck necrophilia.
Being a Buffista... It's not all glitter and tiaras...
The ensuing round of nostalgia for gay mallard snuff porn is pretty funny too

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm just the middleman, in Natter:
Hec: I did get pretty choked up reading Roald Dahl's short story "The Boy Who Talked To Animals" to Emmett last night. It brought both billytea and ita to mind.
ita: I thought I'd read all the Dahl out there, but I can't imagine this story for the life of me.
bt: It must be the one with the monologue of this guy saying "See that animal over there? That one could easily kick your ass. And that one? So gonna kick your ass. Wouldn't even break a sweat. Now, these ones here may look small, but don't be fooled. Singly or in groups, they're just itching to give you an ass-kickin'."
