Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Oh, I think that one needs the set-up for full effect. In Firefly:
Gus: Religion. Politics. There is maxim about avoiding these subjects in conversation. For true helter-skelter you need to get science fiction into the mix.

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
Gus: Everyone dies alone. This cheery message was brought to you by the League of Evil Posters.

I'm spamming COMM. People need to stop being quotable, or it will continue. JZ in Firefly:
My beloved terminally eccentric Uncle D. in Brookline spent his declining years laboring on his magnum opus, a novel spinning out from the thesis that Jesus was an interstellar Mason. No publisher in his lifetime thought it would ever find an audience; I'm beginning to suspect the problem was that the Buffistas didn't exist yet.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Gus in Great Write, discussing the novel he's just sold. Writers, at the very least, will be nodding and giggling:
It has all that story stuff. It starts out with a dude who cannot differentiate his ass from his elbow. A girl occurs. The dude discovers the difference.
If I ever get a publicist, he or she is going to hate me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Katefate in Natter 42:
Perhaps I shall explodiate, after all. I called the Illinois Attorney General's office and found out I'd had my IL DL suspended in 1981 for failure to appear on a traffice ticket. Apparently, like murder and the enmity of an ex, tickets have no statute of limitations.

I haven't watched SOTU since Clinton. And I used to be all, "It's important! I have a civic duty to watch even if I don't agree with the dude of the moment!" That whole civic duty thing went out the window when I realized that shooting out the teevee is just so Elvis.
