in Natter:
P-C: Oh! And I didn't even catch the Buffy connection in tonight's VM. The actor who played Abel Koontz was Balthazar.
dcp: Oh. I didn't recognize him. I think he's lost weight.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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

KristinT : I'm seriously suffering from Yankee Overachiever Girl Syndrome here (which I shall hereafter refer to as YOGS). YOGS is the bane of my existence sometimes.
Polter-Cow : YOGS is the new yogilates.

If I only had a brain...
Nilly gets philosophical:
I'm never tired of looking at the patterns that whitefont makes in a post. It's like patterns of clouds, only with words, and wind doesn't change them. And there are shapes that you can see in them, I guess, from a distance, but there's also the extra layer of the visible words.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Inside every cloud there's a spoiler lining?

The David & Emmett Show
Emmett: "So you're on the radio today?"
Me: "Yep."
Emmett: "Are you going to be famous?"
Me: "No, but it's cool to think that somewhere out there one of my old friends who I've lost track of will tune in and be surprised."
Emmett: "So you're not going to be famous or rich?"
Me: "Not so much. Wish me luck."
Emmett: "Luck. Don't make a fool of yourself."

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Sue, in Firefly:
They say that somebody's "ankled" when they've walked out of or away from something.
In my head, it gets conflated with "ankle-biters," so I always get these mental images of people trying to flee with tiny entertainment executives holding on to their legs and chomping down with all their might.
edited because while the conversation was about a post that also quoted Adam Baldwin, he didn't actually say or write anything in this post, that I know of.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Nilly:
Ginger, if your program suddenly changes your font to a Hebrew one, then your Word is plotting with mine, to make us both insane. And later, the world.
If it is so, we should all run to the mountains and live on leftover Thanksgiving gravy and pie until all the computers die in an attack of Christmas music. Or something like that. I don't want to spell it out on the screen in case the plotting computer reads my post.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Nilly , in Natter, on unfriendly Microsoft programs:
It refuses to have a table of contents in Hebrew, no matter what I do.
Listen, do you hear? That is the sound of ultimate suffering. Movie character's heart made that sound when Big Bads slaughtered their fathers. The student who fights the Word program in Hebrew makes it now.

'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"
Polter-Cow, reacting to the phrase "As long as it's a reasonable decision on the part of the studio executives":
I can actually see the words "reasonable decision" vehemently struggling to break free from the same sentence as "studio executives."
