shrift in Natter on the misuse of quotes:
Terminal stupidity and egregious hand-holding may cause me to dislike you, but lady, I'm telling you, put down the scare quotes and back away before I visit a "pet store" to buy a 9mm "bunny".
Mal: Which one you figure tracked us? Zoe: The ugly one, sir. Mal: Could you be more specific?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

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
Aimée: Ok, one more thing for Maria and then I'll shut my gratuitous yap - if you happen to have a bridesmaid or other wedding party member not knowledgeable in the workings of the catholic church, give them a crash course on things like how to cross yourself so she doesn't do it wrong in front of God and everybody whilst standing infront of the church only to have her husband remind her that it's Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet and Watch.
billytea: Unless you keep your wallet in your back pocket. Then you'll find yourself doing the Macarena.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Followup from -t in Natter:
And if you do the cross backwards, you can cover by saying you're Orthodox.
I don't know how to cover for doing the macarena.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
-t: See, I've never even seen a Canadian quarter before. I thought it might be a state commemorative at first glance. The picture of the Queen tipped me off.
Topic!Cindy: Are you sure it's not Barbara Bush?
DXMachina: Are you sure it's not the San Francisco commemorative?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Best random intersection of subjects ever. In Natter...
DXMachina: Bill O'Reilly is being sued for sexual harassment.

Allyson in Natter, looking forward to tonight's debate:
"He's the #1 Liberal in the Senate."
I would give my left pinky if Kerry jumped out of his chair with one of those big foam fingers and started hollering, "WOO HOO! I'M NUMBER ONE!"
