brenda m in Natter:

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.

From Natter:

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

in FF: WR&E, Dana brings the public service badfic again:

Robin:

the friction created by the potent drive drove the couple up a steep cliff just to propel them to an abyss of pure bliss

Why, it's almost poetry.

DebetEsse: If by "almost" you mean, that it, like poetry, is comprised of words.

askye: It could be Vogon poetry.

Deena: Oh, come on Debet, doesn't that drove/drive, cliff/abyss/bliss just sing in your ears?

DebetEsse: Oh, so that's singing that I'm hearing? And here I though it was my brain trying to escape.

erikaj: Screaming can sound like singing sometimes.

Nutty in Movies:

I think that Ice Cube, trapped in a kitchen flooded with seawater in which sharks were swimming -- would rassle the sharks into submission. Whereas, LL Cool J would do exactly what he did: say Whoa! and get outta dodge.

Now, of course, I am subbing in MC Hammer into that situation, or Young MC, or Tone Loc. It doesn't get really silly till you try it with Kid 'n' Play.

Jen: If I had telekinesis powers over penises, baby boys are at the very bottom of the list of people on whom I'd use it.

Dalek humor in Natter --

tommyrot: Huh. A google for Dalek Cylon Slash turns up nothing.

Matt: You can be the first to write it!

tommyrot: Dunno. So far, all that comes to mind is an image of a Cylon slow-dancing with a Dalek to a mellow remix of "Mr. Roboto."

AND

Gud: It's from Dr. Who. I really haven't watched much Dr. Who, but I believe the Daleks are a race of cranky sentient trash cans that go around and threaten people in upper case.

Alibelle: Hmm. They sound like internet users.
