Erika in Great Write Way:
COP: I'm gonna have to cite you.
WRITER: What for? All my works are cited, all my song lyrics are paid for and I got two orgasms here. His and hers.
COP: Do you think I'm stupid or something?
WRITER: No, Mister Literature Cop. I definitely do not.
COP: Well, even I know it takes more than huffing and puffing to be hot. I'm writing you a ticket for Felony Lack of Sexy.
WRITER: My mother liked it.
COP: Tell it to the judge, man
sj, that gets even funnier when you add that the spur of the subject was Anne Rice's porn....

NoiseDesign: Any chance we'll be able to tempt you to come out and play?
ita: I've only played it once. It was good fun. Not healthy fun for me, since I got scary competitive, but that's something I hope I've worked on since then. Jury's still out.
billytea: Wow. Just how competitive did you get?
Dana: Why is half of the internet broken today? Even Yahoo Mail is giving me attitude.
tommyrot: Who forgot to pay the internet bill?
erikaj, in Natter:
There's a story for the kiddos, huh?"Mommy knew she wanted to be with Daddy when the thought of some furniture store manager's hands on him made her postal with impotent rage."
What were the names of those guys on shrift's Coke machine anyway? Related, in Natter:
ita: : Steve was recently adopted in conversation IRL as an equivalent to Bob, but we have no indication of his carrot likes or dislikes.
Steph L.: Dude, Bob can totally kick Steve's ass.
Gudanov: I dunno, I hear Steve fights dirty.
ita:
Dude, Bob can totally kick Steve's ass.You wait. It's only a matter of time before that's not what Bob is doing to Steve's ass, and we're all left here empty-handed.
bon bon: I am very confused by the switch from Bob to Steve. I enjoyed having Bob as a catch-all name for a Dude With Whom You Are Seen.
Jessica: Bob:Steve::relationship:crush Or something.
ita: One is dating Bob. One knows his carrotishness. Steve? Who knows. He might not make it to the second date.
Jessica: Bob:Steve::carrots:indeterminate vegetable (me:analogies::Bob:carrots)
tommyrot:
One is dating Bob. One knows his carrotishness. Steve? Who knows. He might not make it to the second date.
Or Steve's carrot might be... overcooked.
Steph L. :
>Dude, Bob can totally kick Steve's ass.
You wait. It's only a matter of time before that's not what Bob is doing to Steve's ass, and we're all left here empty-handed.
Brokeback Carrot?
ita: Steve NASTY.
Fred Pete: OK. I'm confused. But maybe that's because my first boyfriend was a Steve.
Frankenbuddha: Did he like carrots? Or Bob?

Liese: I'm a piner, definitely. My 7th & 8th grade years were full of Jordan Catalano levels of pine. I pined so much and so woefully that you could build soft but inexpensive cabinets out of me.
Deena: I keep looking around and thinking, "I can't believe this is really my house."
It's a completely 50s bungalow, and just so cute. The whole neighborhood looks like Pleasantville in a good way. There's even a 4 year old boy next door.
brenda m: Kara has a boyfriend, Kara has a boyfriend...or am I getting a little ahead of things?
askye: I was thinking more Kara has a new minion.
brenda m: I have a feeling that's a pretty meaningless distinction in KaraWorld.
In Natter:
tommyrot: I pity the poor Goth Republican Klingons....
Jilli: I don't. The ones I know are jerks.

My secret anti-intellectualism is the only reason I've survived all these decades of hanging around universities.
