The Unknown Buffista was Lilty Cash (Deb may have been quoting me, since I repeated the helper-monkey desire, but Lilty was the originator).
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

'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"
(KristinT, did you know that you can volunteer to be a helper monkey foster parent? Like seeing eye dogs, they have to be raised well and socialized for the first couple (~7) years till they're old enough to be trained for their work. However, the foundation wants 'parents' who have taken dogs or other animals through advanced training, like competitive obedience, because baby monkeys are serious commitments.)

the whole "Well it's fine when girls kiss (even and possibly especially if they're straight), but boys kissing is icky" thing exposes a whole mess of views I find make my eyes roll for days.

Lilty Cash, who heartlessly got a replacement fish before the first one was quite dead and then discovers the first one recovering, in Bitches:
I thought he was a goner for sure. I mean, floating face above water doesn't bode well, in a fish.
Tobias won't like this. He was like a renter reading obituaries for apartment vacancies.

What is even happening?
WindSparrow: I should perhaps note for the record that I have spent the last seven years geographically isolated from A) both my gay boyfriends, B) all the Austen-appreciating girlfriends I have, and C) movie theaters that play chick flicks not featuring either Julia Roberts or ... that cute little girl who used to be in Steven King movies... oh, right, Drew Barrymore. For some reason I kept pulling up Barry Goldwater for her name, and knew that was wrong, wrong, wrong.

I went Buff Diving for vanity points, and did not find myself once...I did find three funny kitty stories right in a row...it was like Hec's worst nightmare.

Literary Ginger:
Things made from books really disturb me. With very few exceptions, I think of books as sacred objects. There are a few books I think would have a higher calling as furniture, but a bedroom made entirely out of Ethan Frome is a pretty disturbing idea too.

It amazes me that the same people that can't parse the concepts of choice and freedom have no problem with the words fornication and abstenence.

Today's fortune cookie told me that I have "an active mind and a keen imagination."
That's 'cause of the drugs, oh fortune cookie mine.

Mine last night said something like "Action is more valuable than advice."
Thanks. Would have been great if you were an ACTION cookie, then.

ita in the Minearverse. (Actually, there are several gems throughout the conversation... but):
You know, if someone could get their poison into Krispy Kreme, they'd be golden.
You'd be snarfing, your co-worker would fall over dead, you'd pause to think "Poor fuck," and grab the remnant of his Boston Creme before he hit the ground.
