A morning-fresh quote for you all, from Bitches:
Fay: I speak as a slob, on behalf of my people. (They would have elected me, but it would have involved getting off the couch and they couldn't remember where they put the voting slips...)
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

What is even happening?
billytea: When I was a kid I was very helpful. When I got into astrology I started advising my parents' friends on whether the stars said their marriage would last. (I was very sympathetic with the ones in trouble, of course.) Oh, and one time I got hold of a women's magazine and offered my mother and her friends advice on how to deal with any menstrual problems.

I can't even.
Nobody posted this? FUCKOS!
Corwood, testing for RIO identity in Music:
If one poster-bot leaves the Midwest heading east at the speed of the Internet while continental drift brings the fuckos occupying a virtual message board into orbit of a cancelled tv show at the speed of ink drying, what time should I take a break and drink a coke?

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
Welcome to the Cass & Billytea Show!!!!!
Cass: Soooo... I need fireplace tools. Especially as jabbing with a clicky lighter is obviously a bad idea given that it is inherently flammable...
Why are fireplace tools a seasonal item in Portland? I want a scoopy thing to remove ashes and a pokey thing to poke things about.
billytea: You'd be amazed how many animals adopt a similar philosophy come mating season.
Cass: BT, I saw a marmot! Are there marmots here? It was a little odd but really cute.
billytea: Yeah, they're pretty funny when you get them up to full speed.
Cass: It was nibbling grass. Should I chase the next one? Run, Marmot, run.
billytea: No, no, just sidle up to them. Let nature do the rest!
Cass: Twitchy little critters?
billytea: Hey, they're rodents. It's in the job description.
Cass:
- Twitch nose
- Forage for delicious treats
- FLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
- Twitch nose

kat perez: Dress shorts are of the devil. Unless you are a camp counselor or Julie on Love Boat, shorts are never an acceptable work option.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Arm warmers might get you a second look on the subway, but fleece blankets will get you the whole double seat to yourself.

In critter news, EWWWW. Whitefonted:
billytea:
You know, doesn't ping me. Hell, there are animals where the young survive by sucking glandular emissions right out of their mother's body. And animals where the young eat the mother alive. Oh! And there's this mite, that has about fifty babies, and only one or two are male, and they have sex with all their sisters right inside their mother before they're even born, and then they're born by the mother just exploding and all the females take off to start a new life of waiting to explode, while the male stays behind and starves to death inside his mother's corpse! Where's the Hallmark card for that?
IT'S THE CIIIIIIRCLE... THE CIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIFE...
