Calli: When my nephew was around four, my sister handed him an apple. He yelled, "Nooooooo!" and ran from the room. They'd covered The Fall in his Sunday school class that morning. Apparently it took a while to explain the difference between A fruit and The fruit to him.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Thought of you when I saw this headline, MM:
U.N.: Robot use to surge sevenfold by 2007
I think they're on to you.
Miracleman
U.N.: Robot use to surge sevenfold by 2007
I saw that, too. But it turns out their talking about automation in manufacturing and whatnot.
You have to go to a different website to see the headline: "Evil Genius Mastermind Increases Undead, Robot Armies Tenfold by 2005. Global Domination Imminent. Neener."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
connie beat me to the CNN part.
Ah, well. C'est la Wolf Blitzer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
lori in Natter on Internet fame:
If it weren't for these Mars rovers, my entire vanity Google would consist of reprints of Dogs In Elk. As it is, Dogs in Elk accounts for 90%.

Matt the Bruins Fan responding to a recent news event:
Well, I'm relieved to hear the officer wasn't harmed while electrocuting septagenarians in a nursing home. I can sleep peacefully tonight knowing that Officer McZappy is making the world safe from roving geriatric gangs.

Liese: Ha. Look at me with the protesting and running, and the people doing my arguing for me, even when I wasn't. Yay Buffistas.

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
Emily: I deduced that the Red Sox must have won when the screaming and honking began directly outside my bedroom window at about midnight. What the fuck is wrong with people, anyway? Houses mean people trying to sleep, assholes.

Baseball discussion in Natter turns to the Curse of the Bambino
ita: I'd ask what's a Bambino, but then someone might tell me, and I'd be forced to skim over the answer, because it's indubitably baseball.
(four posts explain Bambino)
Burrell: Poor ita. She may not have asked for an answer, but she sure got one. Er, I mean 4.
Kat: And this, Burrell, is the Curse of the Buffistas.

In Natter. To decimate:
Sean: Well, if my Roman history teacher is to be believed, they would line up the opposing, defeated army, and count down the line.... 1, 2, 3, 4... and every time they got to ten, GACK! Dead.
Katie M: Well, that's gonna lead to line-shuffling. ("Hey, I think Flavius doesn't count so good. Flavius! Stand over here!")
ita: Eenie meenie mynie, FUCKED.
