Matt TBF, in Movies:
Apparently I can only stomach watching stockbroker types if there's a good chance that Christian Bale is going to dismember them later on.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Cindy gets in touch with her inner ita, in Natter.
I'm the cast-iron skillet's bitch. It's a pan. And a weapon. You really can't ask more from a kitchen utensil.

In Bitches, Lilty Cash mourns the (possible) falling of a great survivor:
Well, he's looking DAMN dead. I haven't flushed him yet, though. I noticed this morning his color was not good, but I thought it was just his usual bi-weekly death throes.

If I only had a brain...

Nicole:
Are you sure? Reeeeeally sure?
Lilty:
Well, he's looking DAMN dead. I haven't flushed him yet, though. I noticed this morning his color was not good, but I thought it was just his usual bi-weekly death throes.
Assembled Buffistas:
Sorry, Lilty.
Lilty:
Eh, it's ok. I'll probably be scared to use the toilet for weeks because, you know, sometimes they come back. Little Bastard'll show up a zombie fish.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

This is when I wish you could just stick a big needle in the back of my head and insert knowledge.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Kristen, in Tech, on mysterious ability to read articles:
See this is the source of my puzzlement. In the two weeks since I got the new powerbook, I can guarantee to you that I had yet to visit the Chicago Tribune's website. Until last night.
DXMachina:
Huh. I wonder if it works on other sites requiring a password? Maybe Apple is now shipping Powerbooks with some sort of double secret password avoidance algorithms installed.
Ita:
Aha! That totally explains Independence Day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Emily in Bitches:
I'm multi-bored. That's what happens when you're multitasking, but there's a blank spot in the cycle of things you're doing, so when you hit that phase of the cycle you're bored.

What is even happening?
Susan: There's a product I usually refer to as a "candle pistol" because you pull a trigger and it produces a flame. But it's much bigger than a cigarette lighter. What's its real name?
juliana: Bic calls it a utility lighter
Jilli: In our house, it's called the clicky fire thing, and is usually taken away from me.

If I only had a brain...
Shrift:
It went something like this:
Betsy: ...the rhetorical term for the part used to represent the whole.
Me: I know that word. It's -- <mem-fault>
Word: <poof>
Me: Crap. Okay. It sounds like... Mnah mnah?
A Mighty Fortress Is Our Google: Metonymy
Me: Closer than the Swedish Chef, yet not quite the thing with the thing what means the thing. Bork bork bork!
A Mighty Fortress Is Our Google: Synecdoche.
Me: My English degree is ashamed to be seen in public with me now, isn't it.
