Jilli-style (in a nutshell) : I look like I escaped from a Tim Burton movie, so I'm quite pleased.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

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

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Gud's building his kids a spaceship in the backyard.
Gudanov: I just ordered 30 toggle switches.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Jessica, re: Robot Body
Plus, I could have flamethrowers for hands if I wanted to.
Truly, it will be a golden age.

Um, I think that's from some filk or other that I heard in 1983 or thereabouts. I probably should have attributed it, but I'm still trying to figure out to whom.
But thanks!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Calli, I remember that! It was from a ChimeraCon Cantina, c. 1985 or 1986. Karen Fisher (as Princess Leia) sang it, though I can't remeber the skit.
Paul Thompson probably wrote it, but I'm just guessing -- but seems like he wrote half of the skits every year....
