Almare:

The minister might have been a really really terrifying and evil Scarlett Macaw so er, I may have possibly developed an irrational fear of skinny ministers with big teeth and lurching movements that, could possibly be why I am no longer Welcome at the Vatican.

tommyrot: Umm... so a group of college students on Ohio State University went around with supersoakers filled with oil, anointing as much of the university as they could in order to claim it for God.

Jessica: What, were they out of flags?

ita: We should be thankful they seemed to be out of pee.

I HAD to make sure this ended up immortalized. Deena, reporting on her adorable evil genius:

For your entertainment:

Kara, at dinner last night, to Nick, sitting beside her:
I am a pretty princess pony!
Nick: Good for you.
Kara: Good for you pretty princess pony!
Nick: Yeah.
Kara: What pony are you?
Nick: I am not a pony. I am a man!
Kara: I know, I know, you're man-pony!
Nick: No. Don't go there. (to me) stop laughing!
Kara: I shall call you schmacky. Schmacky the Man-pony.
Nick: Oh no.
Kara: I know! I shall call you Man-aise! Man-aise the Man-pony!
Nick:::speechless::
Kara: Or maybe pinkie....Pinkie Man-aise the Man-pony.
Nick: No. No. No. No. (to me) STOP LAUGHING!
Kara: (muttering) You ARE Man-aise the Man-pony.

and DCJensen filked:

Sing us a song, you're the pony-man...

Which inspired Gudanov to filk:

Who can take a meadow,
Sprinke it with dew
Cover it with hoofprints and a miracle or two...
The pony-man, the pony-man can,
The pony-man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes it all feel good...

and Trudy, also filking:

Cause he's a pony-man
Pony-maaaaaaaaan
Tellin' his kid sister "no you don't..."

Because everybody knows your name?

a) shrift

b) ita

c) Hec

d) lurker's choice

Topic!Cindy: Who is that great big boy? That can't be Owen. Sheesh. Maybe you ought to have a new baby. Apparently someone switched your first one with some kid.

From Natter:
