Allyson Natters:
Do you ever feel like we're all supporting each other, sometimes dragging each other, through miserable work days? Like a white collar platoon?
We gotta keep moving! Five O'Clock will never get here if WE DON'T KEEP MOVING
There's a Buffista down!
We gotta KEEP MOVIN'!
We can't leave sarameg behind! She just got nailed by freakishly bad code and a deadline!
Go on without me! But AVENGE ME! AVENGE ME

Aimée sharing her hard-earned wisdom in Bitches:
I think grandkids are like tatoos and chips.
You can't have just one.
Raq in Great Write, on the subject of writing dialogue:
You have to have the skill to trim the viburnum, but not make it into a meatball.
And I love that so much, I may have to tag it, if she'll let me.
MFNlaw: I don't mean to imply that martinis make me easy. I'm like that anyway.
In Movies:
flea: I now want someone to make a film called The Preposition. And have it be a thriller, about grammar.
Gud: It'd probably be a thriller that left you hanging at the end.
Aimée: Plei, do you know off-hand if you have to be a pro to buy MAC Chromacake?
Plei: I do not know, for I am out of the loop. I feel like a lapsed Catholic or something, "Fashion, forgive me, for it has been 9 months since my last MAC purchase."
Debetesse, in Natter:
I've been having trouble getting my printer to feed. It kept going in on the right, but not the left. I checked the troubleshooting stuff at the epson site. I tried feeding paper through repeatedly.

Corsets and bloomers are very popular among the crew. We eschew grog in favour of nice cups of tea. We are arguably the most courteous pirates to be found on the high seas. I go under the name Dread Pirate Clovis, but in point of fact I am not the real Dread Pirate Clovis.
