brenda m. in Natter: My vengeful wrath will be sated on the blood of the current generation - that's just the kind of giving person I am.

Jessica, quoting a fundamentalist website: "Enter the Antichrist Slideshow!"
Connie Neil: "Win fabulous prizes!"
Gudanov in Natter:
Isn't caffeine the engine of productivity? What will happen to the economy without caffeine? What about customer service? Do you want to call Dell's customer support and hear "Brrrraaaaaiiiiiiiinnnns"? Okay, bad example, I doubt Dell's customer support is actually in this country. How about calling IB....okay another bad example. How about calling your state agen....Okay, that might be another bad example. I can't think, I need caffeine.
Topic!Cindy: Natter, thread. A thread barely alive...Buffistas, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic thread. Natter will be that thread. Better than it was before, stronger, faster...
ita: Please god, not faster.
Bwah! I was just copy/pasting that as I moved to this thread.
From Natter:
Emily: But, honestly, when your political philosophy rests on Cleopatra 2525? Maybe wanna rethink it.
Topic!Cindy: Dick Clark's still not dead, and not one person here called him Schroedinger's Dick. It's like I don't even know you people, any more.
In dog Strider:
Kathy Astrom posted a snippet of a report on the talk Peter Jackson gave about the Miramax 1 film version of LotR (the one that PJ absolutely refused to do):
it essentially had the name ‘Lord of the Rings’, and not much more than that. For example, the whole Moria sequence was gone, the idea being that they’d pick the story up on the other side and Frodo would say ‘Well, damn, weren’t those caves/orcs something. Pity about Gandalf.’ Applying the ‘Tell not Show’ principle, obviously. Gondor and Rohan were to be collapsed into one country, ruled over by a synthesis of Theoden and Denethor. The mind just boggles.
Calli: Just how would one do this? Put Theothor on a horse, set both on fire, pitch them out of Minas Tirith, and have 'em take out a bunch of orcs when they land?
(And still I say: "Flammminnnngg Death!"--A Bug's Life)
DX, in the Lost thread, context be damned:
Probably just as well you didn't. I'm pretty sure people who burst into flames on airplanes get put on a special watch list.
