Susan: I know that they're often used improperly by beginning writers, but the adverb nazis are like people who'd take the toepicks off Michelle Kwan's skates because beginning skaters are too prone to use them as brakes

Connie Neil: I've never worried about the spiders seeing me naked. If the cats don't care, the bugs won't.

"It's a plot device. Be really careful with it - it's very flimsy."
Don't forget to white out current season TV details.
Hee. billytea in Bureaucracy:
The penguins are bigger than any one thread. Except the fairy penguins, who are tiny and adorable, if possessed of the common sense that God gave gravel.
ita in Natter, on sibling cultivation:
I never tried to harm my baby sister physically. Though I did start reading child development books really early, so I could play with her head.
She thanked me for it later. But she had to, didn't she? It's how I made her.
