Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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.

DavidS: Tachyon Flow! (Forward / Reverse)
Phlebotinum Generator!
Dilithium Crystals (Yes/No)
Polarity (Reverse/Converse)
Improbability Drive
Starburst
Interstellar Overdrive
Shields (Up/Down)
Docking Web
Plasma Torpedoes
Crazy Ivan

tommyrot:

Flux Capacitor
Extra Flux for Flux Capacitor
Extra capacitance for Flux Capacitor
Emergency Override
Level 3 Diagnostic

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.

Hil R.: My religion has given me far more questions than answers.

Allyson: Judaism is the JJ Abrams of religions.

If I only had a brain...

Calli: I'm looking over
A bunch of boulders
That was Alderaan before . . .

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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....

Thanks, Fred! That would have bugged me all afternoon.</natter>

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

while discussing names

billytea: it's not evil enough.

JZ: How about Condoleeza Scalia von Rumscroft?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In Buffy 'n' Angel:

Beverly: She's one of probably three or four living women who could wear those cuffed pants and look good in them.

ita: I love the idea that you have a separate list of dead women who could rock the look.
