Perfectly good white sweater ruined with coffee.

tommyrot in Natter:

Is it considered acceptable to get up while at a dinner party and announce, "Excuse me; I have to go for dumpies"?

DXMachina in Natter:

I'm a firm believer in the old adage "Spare the electric shock collar, spoil the child."

shrift in Natter:

Blargh. Remind me never to mention that I'm bored where the machines can hear me.

Signed,

Just spent an unseemly amount of time debugging an app I previously knew nothing about, and now only know slightly more than nothing, in the "I can fix it, but don't bloody well ask me how to use it!" school of technovoodoo way.

From Literary:

Betsy HP: Worst. Title. Ever. [link]

AmyLiz: Be sure to look for the sequel: The Groom Swells With Pride.

Steph L.: Pssst! AmyLiz! It isn't *pride* making the groom swell....

Betsy HP: I'm waiting for The Virgin Bride Said "Ow!"

Polter-Cow: Followed by The Formerly Virgin Bride Said, "Celibacy!"

Beej in Lord of the Rings:

I'm as flabbergasted by couples using the ONE TRUE EVIL to rule all EVIL rings as wedding bands as I am by the same couples playing Every Breath You Take at the reception.

People. Are you paying attention? Evil//Stalking not the best springboard for a lasting partnership.

Unless, of course, you are Sauron and Saruman sittin' in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

Over in Natter:

sarameg: My lungs are colonized with something that needs to get its funding yanked and depart defeated and dispirited to its native lands.

Upon the birth of Princess Miracleborn, after hours of Watch & Post, Spike's Bitches make with the funny...

brenda: Yay for Emeline and Aimee! And MM, who has his first Minion!

Betsy HP: On the contrary, MM has just *become* a minion.

erikaj: Congrats to the MiracleBorns! It would've been funny to say "GILES!" during this, um, watch-and-post as well, though.

Sparky1: Now that we are done with the watch and post for her arrival, do we start demanding pictures?

Polter-Cow: We have to wait for the West Coasters to catch up before we begin our extended analysis.

Is cleolinda's recap up yet?

ita:

We have to wait for the West Coasters to catch up before we begin our extended analysis.

Puh-lease. It's a west coast event.

Betsy HP: I was disappointed that Emma's shirtlessness was quite brief. Furthermore, Spike did not make an appearance, nor did Sayid.

Nonian: We may have to wait a while, but I want to compare Aimee's recap with MM's recap. (Too bad we can't get Emma's, too.)

Jen: Emma's would be something like this:

sleepy warm happy floating hmm it's getting a little cramped in here every once in a while whoops I'm headed down hey where'd all that water go wait a second my head's gotta go where you're joking ok I'll give it a shot or five hundred nope not gonna happen hey someone's trying to break in here that's a heck of a draft whoa whoa whoa aaaaaiiieeee it's cold and bright and who the hell are all you people wait a second I recognize those voices it's mom and dad we're all together now and I'm very happy

I'm assuming babies can't punctuate, though I'm not quite sure why.

In Natter (context removed for extra surreality):

tommyrot: What if you want to shoot aliens? Or animals that aren't particularly people-shaped?

Betsy HP: I'm pretty sure there are game farms in Texas that can accommodate you on both counts.
