Finally, please note which thread spawned the quotage and please white-out anything that might be spoilery to Un-Americans.
Drive-by COMMing (because many of us can so relate):
KristinT in Natter: In the girls' bathroom at school, there are the usual scrawled messages on the stall walls. "Your a f*cking c*nt bitch" is on one of the doors in dark marker that shows through coats of paint. As a teacher, I should be offended by this profanity. Instead I fight the urge to bring a sharpie in and correct the "your".
This may be an indication that I have issues.
StuntHusband in Bitches, in what I believe is his debut COMM
You see what kind of help I'm saddled with? Girls who Giggle and Blow Things Up.

Yes, buffista!sprog, we combined 2 show threads into one, mixing related universes that had completely different feels, and in the process ensuring that Buffy and Angel are together forever. Now, darling, why don't you be a dear and see if there are any new messages in Buffy and Angel 53: BUFFYNANGLESTILL2GETHA!!!!!1! HA!!!!!!! I'll go see if the cookie dough is finished baking.
The debate about titles continues in Buffy and Angel:
connie neil: Hm, sounds like time to propose a new thread: Real Words Spelled Correctly!
ita: Wrod.
In Natter:
Sue: I went to an information session at work where the facilitator described performance evaluations as a "transformative experience." My head did near explode.
Nutty: Well, they've been known to transform one from an employee to a former employee. But, yeah. I've never seen God while explaining that deadlines are more like guidelines in my view.
Lee, in Natter on her plans for the weekend:
First, these people I met on the internet are coming to stay with me. Assuming they aren't axe murderers, I am going to the Chiro, buying a pony or two, going to a book reading, maybe doing something fun with the internet people, going to the flea market, buying pie, going to itabobita's to see her new place and steal her boxes, having Kat and Lori come over to get camping stuff and my computer and whatever else I can palm off on them, doing laundry, and packing.
If they are axe murderers, of course, my to do list is a lot shorter.
Nobody got this one?
In Fanfiction:
Nutty: I think you have to have a very good sense of humor to be a linguist.
amych: It's self-selecting. If you have a sense of humor, you become a linguist. If not, you write cranky letters to the editor about these kids today and how they don't teach proper English in the schools anymore.

HA! My dad is both.
sarameg: I just want everyone to get aloooong and be friendly and be convinced by me.
Vonnie K recaps a bad show in Boxed Set:
and the girlfriend just stands in front of him, yelling and screaming "Don't! Don't!" instead of running, like, OMG, the stupid, it burns!
