context be damned...

Jen in Bitches:

You ate Lee for breakfast? Damn. Suddenly my bowl of Grape-Nuts seems so boring.

me: One of the best feelings in the world is having a human being utterly limp on your shoulder.

ita: Especially when it was you that made them unconscious.

meara sets the kink survey people straight in Bitches:

Having gay sex does not make me kinky, it makes me GAY.

Plei in Bitches:

When my first g-dson was born, the nursing instructions they were given all said make sure the baby's mouth covers the areola. His mother looked at the baby, looked at her boobs, and realized that there was no way in HELL that was happening, as the areola were bigger than his head.

I'm prostrate with laughter, but sympathetic.

Myself, referring to crochet hooks:

Betsy, if you don't have a G and you need one, let me know. I'm pretty sure I have one or two extras. Of course, it will take a little time for the mail, and they're pretty cheap, so you may prefer to purchase.

Lord that gave me a turn after all the bra size talk today.

Natter: (Posts reordered slightly for sense-making)

Nilly- I'm stuck with something that I know should be easy (because the book treats it like it's an obvious and no-problem step from one side of the equation to the other, and all the other steps were easy-no-problem ones), and still, I can't solve it. Silly brain. Does the hivemind have any opinion as to why Bessel function of the zero order with the boundary conditions of zero and infinity should be one? How is the diverging being dealt with? Should it be decorated with glitter? If it had hair, which color should it use? Sigh.

Allyson- Nilly, the answer is x = blue.

Nilly- But Allyson, I can't put that back in the equation. It's probably because I've never used nail polish or hair color, isn't it? When I really need to use the colors, I don't know how.

Ginger- Because 2 is too big?

Polter-Cow- Is the caveolin-mediated transport of potassium channels to lipid rafts dependent on any lipid interactions? Does the sphingolipid content of caveolae affect channel function? How do ATP-sensitive potassium channels differ in their response to phosphotidylinositols (and their derivatives) from inward rectifiers? Do statin drugs really watch Oprah?

tommyrot- I think the whole problem is that Bessel turned her back on her true love because he was too common, and now she realizes her mistake, but it's too late, as her true love joined the foreign legion out of his dispair and was killed by pirates. But what Bessel does not know is that her true love is still alive!

Kathy Astrom- Killed by pirates is good...

Ginger- Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?

msbelle- only if the cat licks it a lot.

bon bon- Yuck.

Discussing petitions to cancel Tru Calling in Buffy:

Kalshane:

I've never understood how the existance of a TV program, no matter how distasteful it may be, can directly impact someone's life.

Matt the Bruins fan:

Well, Fox has aired several reality shows that I consider insulting enough or downright harmful enough to society to be worth calls for cancellation.

Heather Alayne:

Lemme guess. Does it rhyme with The Bwan?

ita:

Or Waying It Flaight?

brenda m:

Booze Your Maddy?

Frankenbuddha:

Die Rig Obsequious Chianti?

brenda m in Natter, on a sci-fi movie... enthusiast:

IMO, it doesn't count as waiting in line until there's someone behind you. Until then, he's just a derelict.

In Bitches:

Trudy Booth: Even a feather-free butt plug would be a bit of a stretch in natter!

billytea: This needs to be spoken by someone named Aunt Hortense at elevenses.

It's the Internet. We ride porn's coattails, and try to stay off the sticky bits.
