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.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

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

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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
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. Eventually, I was tugging on a piece of paper to pull it through, and I see this silver corner. "Oh, shit," I think, "I've pulled something loose." But, well, now it's loose, and the paper's still stuck, so I pull it the rest of the way out. And, with the paper, the silver thing comes out. Only it's not a piece of the printer. It's a benadryl, in one of those bubble packs. Apparently, my printer was feeling congested.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Folks, please help me finish this paragraph. It's all that's standing between me and being DONE WITH MY MOFO PORTFOLIO.
"Technology offers the possibility of great chances for students to do more learning and experimenting on their own, and I find it very promising and exciting. Without more information about planning and support within the instructional environment, however, I won't be able to take full advantage of its promise. Incorporating technology into instruction needs more than an add-on piece; it requires a full... "

Fay, on the good 'ship Jilli & Pete:
...our flag has a skull and crossbones and a nice top hat. Our ship is black, the sails are a delicate shade of pink, and everybody is wearing magnificent black leather boots and/or pointy footwear. 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.

I too am very fond of the phrase in flagrante delicto. Whereas the word cunnilingus always makes me think it should be an Irish airline with a bowmchickabowmbowm soundtrack on unending loop.
