Betsy: Finally, a question I can answer.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES FOR SUCCESS IN THE MINIATURE CATTLE BUSINESS?Hec: Betsy can totally do this. First, she borrows a cowboy hat from Jesse. Second, she brings billytea in to set up a breeding program. She's got teams of actuaries on hand to project earnings. And look how happy she is to handle a functional cattle prod.
beth b in Bitches:
both my cat and my DH think I should go to bed. the fact that I want to say "you're not the boss of me" makes me think that they might be right.
In Bitches, beathen in response to Ginger saying "Sugar is my art":
Sugar is your art. You make cookies and cakes with your hands, day after day. That final chocolate chip. That look of perfection. Part of you is desperate to know: What's it taste like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the nuts you didn't throw in or the vanilla you didn't include. Every Buffista... has a sugar wish.
Matt the Bruins Fan in F2F:
My favorite is still another cousin's wedding where my foul-tempered cousin Rachel was the flower girl. She came down the aisle grimmacing, stopping every few feet to hurl a handful of flowers down onto the ground in angry fashion. There may have been stomping and grinding as well.
Natter:
ita: Okay. You can pay me in Godiva.
Wolfram: Nekkid woman on horse, sent.
More F2F wedding talk:
ita: I was one of eight bridesmaids in the last wedding I stood up in. 8 Groomsmen, natch, a flower girl and a ringbearer (okay, word now tainted).
amych: Actually, I would like to see this at a wedding. Especially if he brings along his short bald friend with the funny syntax.
beathen: How about the pointy ear pieces? An elvish wedding.
Jilli VoiceOfReason: shudders
You're bringing back memories of the wedding I attended where the ceremony had been written in Elvish. Please don't do that.
tommyrot: For the benefit of those guests who could not understand Elvish, was it translated into Klingon?
ita in Angel....context is for the weak:
No place for semen!

Erin in Natter:
That laundry has been around, some of it, for about a year. It was starting to look like a creature from the Cthlulu universe.
It hissed when I poked it with a stick. So I stuck it in some hot water with detergent and this old grimoire I found at the Salvation Army store.
It doesn't hiss anymore, but some of the pants developed a mysterious third leg..
shrift, continuing the laundry theme:
I have triumphed over my voicemail. I have nearly triumped over my e-mail. I should get home before 9 o'clock tonight.
And now it occurs to me that I should take advantage of the unholy asskicking I have given this work day by doing laundry.
Erin: I'm SUCh the trendsetter...
