Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Non-spoilery speculation about the final Harry Potter book, over in Literary

DebetEsse: I'm trying to figure out how the magical creatures fit into it, in the big, final battle. Because they have to, right?

Aimée: Harry defeats Voldemort with a BlastEnded Skrewt that has been given lots of cheap beer and chili cheese fries.

Edit: Damn! x-posty while I was formatting.

What is even happening?

Raq: My day started out good, but that was only because I didn't have all the information yet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

shrift sums up in Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.

First thing this morning, I got stuck behind a semi filled to the brim with liquid shit. It took a few more hours to realize that this would be today's theme.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Context? What context? In Natter:

tommyrot: The sheep may be thinking, "Asshole is cutting my fur off! But OTOH, at least he's not fucking me."

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

From Bitches:

-t: You know, I caught myself thinking the other day about that thing addicts are supposed to say - it's not to get high, this just gets me back to normal. And how good it would be to have something that got me to normal.

As I have my second cup of coffee today it occurs to me that maybe it's coffee and I am just not upping the dosage enough.

And then I think that this is not exactly a healthy way to be thinking.

Steph L: Pfft. I am unashamed of my coffee addiction. I mean, it could be so much worse -- at least it's not heroin.

tommyrot: Yeah. I don't feel so bad about my heroin addiction - at least it's not crack.

Raq: I don't feel so bad about my crack addiction - at least it's not NASCAR fanfic.

Up with the sun

joe boucher in Natter, whitefonted for squick:

If the... ahem, incident, had taken place in PA would Rick Santorum be talking about it as a campaign issue. "See! This is where liberalism leads! Homosexuality, man on man, man on dog, man on horse..." That's "horse on man," Senator. "Whatever. I'm for a culture of life, virtue, love of God, country, and capitalism. What do Democrats support? Horsefucking." Would his campaign manager tell him to drop it? "Rick, our polls show that pretty much everybody supports your stand on horsefucking. They also show that pretty much no one - pro, con, and neutral - wants to think about it. And every time you mention it that's all they can think about for, oh, for much too long. They just don't like it. It's hurting your numbers."

Natter:

ita: Porn star -- you so rarely hear "porn actor" -- seems like stars are a dime a dozen. Why's that?

bon bon: Who acts in porn? There's your answer, right there.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Discussing politics in Natter:

Frankenbuddha: Rick Santorum - still more nauseating than bestiality.

amych: It's like a campaign slogan, only true!

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

tommyrot:

I think the average American has about $8,000 in credit card debt.

JZ:

I'm so above average it makes me want to cry.

Matt the Bruins Fan in Minearverse spoilery for The Inside

I want to see footage of William Mapother wearing the 900 lb cannibal suit to a family gathering. Where he might still be the most normal person there.
