Ginger in Bitches on the history of animal stuffing:
In the middle ages, they were big on the truffle inside a lark inside a pigeon inside a duck inside a chicken inside a swan with gilded skin dishes. It's another example of the lengths to which boredom can drive one in the absense of moveable type and television.
Jars, in Movies, about the Greeks' persistent denial that Alexander was gay:
I've always looked fondly upon the Put Your Hands on Your Ears and Sing La-La-La school of historical thought.
shrift, in Natter: If anybody in the midwest hears an earth-shattering kaboom sometime in the next few hours, don't worry; it'll just be my head exploding from pent-up rage.
Polter-Cow, in Bitches:
Also, I like the word "baby." Baby baby baby. Aw, baby. Cute little babie. Babie? The fuck?
Mr. Broom reaches his boggle limit:

Every once in a while it has to stop to catch its breath, because it's hard going, trying to catch up when you're shuffle-hopping and squelching along without legs.
billytea in Natter, context be damned.
I believe the roachbots are our future
Teach them well, and let them lead the way...
Sparky1 in Bitches: (best off-the-cuff definition, evah)
Turducken is dead bird concentrate.

DXMachina: So, the massive outages will continue, then?
