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.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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.

If I could open my eyes all the way, I'd glare at you menacingly, but for now I'll just have to settle for a vaguely malevolent squint.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

After newcomer Eddie comments on the dedication in Bureaucracy, Cindy sums up the problem:
Topic!Cindy:
Hi, Eddie. We were just discussing this at the beginning of the month: msbelle "Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?" Apr 5, 2005 6:40:58 am PDT
It sort of ended here: JohnSweden "Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?" Apr 7, 2005 12:15:14 pm PDT
To sum it up:
Change is needed.
Change is good.
Change is evil.
Change should be avoided at all cost.
We could change it to this.
Changing it to this totally ignores that.
Oh. No, I hate that.
Yeah, but I hate this, even worse.
Canadians spell funny.

Jilli-style (in a nutshell) : I look like I escaped from a Tim Burton movie, so I'm quite pleased.

From the Firefly thread, white-fonted for very vague trailer spoilers:
Matt the bruins fan: Losing the vests is bad enough, but once you've given up dress shirts for sweatsuits, there's nothing left but to begin devouring human flesh and picking fights in the press with Christina Aguillera.

Gud's building his kids a spaceship in the backyard.

Gundanov: Yeah, I'll have a lot of labels to make.
NoiseDesign: Hook those up to a little PLC and you can have a load of fun. Man, I almost want to come out just to hook that up to a bunch of lights and motors. Different combos of switches to make different things happen. Hook some flood lights up in the rocket pods so that when you turn on the thrusters they light up...um...perhaps I need to get out more often.
JZ: I vote we have the 2006 F2F in Gud's backyard, because once that spaceship is done his backyard will without question be the single coolest location in the country. If you add an espresso bar and a corset boutique, make that the entire continent.

In Natter. It's just such a crisp, matter-of-fact exchange...
Jessica: Ewwww. Maybe I'll just have my head frozen.
Kat: Brain in a jar?
Jessica: Robot body.
