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.
Noumenon :
Nobody likes a backseat slavedriver.
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.
erikaj, in Bitches:
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.

Today's fortune cookie told me that I have "an active mind and a keen imagination."

Dana:
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.
Sparky1 in Bitches:
Someday, I will be able to decorate in something other than Early American Garage Sale.
connie neil in Bitches, commenting on furniture:
The couch is very red. I think I need something red. Unfortunately the blood of the deserving fades to brown. Must re-think.
