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....

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

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.

What is even happening?

Cass: I hope the caffiene in the Midol isn't playing drug games in my brain. Because if I get any closer to the earth, I will be mining metal, fashioning weapons, and smiting the fuck out of those that bug me.

Matt the Bruins fan:

Was anyone at the con where Marsters tried that "you first" gambit with the fan who asked him to strip?

Elais:

That was at Dragoncon during one of James' Q&A. I unfortunately, saw the whole thing.

Betsy HP:

Don't tell me she did.

Matt the Bruins fan:

Okay, we won't tell you. But what are the odds that people would remember it years later if she'd quietly said "Nevermind then," and sat back down?

Somebody better be willing to say something in the hardcore spoiler thread after tonight, or I shall petulantly stomp my foot and look menacing. I will. I really will. Don't think I won't.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Made me laugh. Nora in OMG:

sorry, I didn't mean for my vague yet permeating grumpiness turn into a thing.
