In Natter 30, on the wisdom of after-dinner treats.
shrift:
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.
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.

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.
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.
Lilty's indefatigible Captain Jack:
"Oh..I'm dying! I can't go on! The light! I see the....hey. Who the hell is that BLUE fish?? And since when do you have a CAT? You know, I'm feeling stronger..yes! Yes, I will swim away from the light!! Hmm, you know, no one's been looking at me for a bit. I feel faint! Arrrrr."
ita beats me to it. I choked up leftover dinner party hors d'ouvres when I read that.

on the woes of having a roommate with a little too much magic in her heart:
Drug dealers are more my style. She's been raving about this movie for weeks. Everytime the preview comes on she asks if I read the book. When I say no, she says "OMG IT'S SO GOOD!!! Did you read Tuesdays With Morrie?" Yes. "Did you like it?". No. Then she gets quiet, looks at me like I have no soul, and keeps decorating the room with snowmen. From where I am sitting, I can count at least 20.
Maybe I am a bad person with no joy.

in Bitches, welcoming the expanded Miracleborn family home
The Empress, the Princess and the Zombie Master are home! Hurray, hurray!
(Is it just me, or does The Empress, the Princess and the Zombie Master sound like what might have happened if C.S.Lewis hadn't found God?)
ita, exemplifying Buffista-ness in LotR:
Even if I can't watch it, I get a Nillyesque pleasure from just holding it.
There may or may not be crooning and stroking.

in Natter on the danger of pets:
Applied math lesson of the evening:
Puppy putting paws on my lap to tell me she has to go out = good
Purring gray cat curled up in lap = good
Puppy paws + purring gray cat in lap = blood
Thus endeth the math lesson.
