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.
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.
From way back in Penguins, Tom Scola on 'fatal error' from web glitches:
In Soviet Russia, you don't kill the thread, the thread kills you!
amych:
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.
DavidS:
Jesus, I'm just a ray of sunshine today, aren't I?
Glass half full? Barely a quarter full and that's arsenic!
Kathy A: RIP, the telegram.
Aimée: Kathy, that should say:
RIP, the telegram. Stop.
DavidS: Philadelphia fans have booed: their own Hall of Famers, Santa, Father and Son games and old-timer games.
amych: Have you looked at the guy's numbers? Has a big day once year or so, and then he slacks off the rest of the time, and yet we're supposed to treat Mr. Inconsistent like he's some kind of magic?
lisah: Sometimes my I'M AN UNGIRLFRIENDABLE FREAK alarms go off.
erika: you do live in the City of The BrokenHearted
brenda: I think what you're actually hearing is spillover from me. Sorry 'bout that.
erika: Maybe we should form a girl group: The Singelles.
Wolfram, in Firefly:
Nothing says dignity like auctioning off a kidney stone.
Hil R in Spike:
I think I hit my "studied too much" point today. A classmate and I were quizzing each other on matroids, and he asked "Why are we interested in the Fano plane?" and my first answer was "Because it's pretty."
