I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I don't know who she was replying to and I can't find the quote again but I think it was in Bitches.

Buffista X: my boss' boss' boss

ita: That's your great-grandboss!

If I got the details wrong, I'm sure Stompy!ita can correct it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Some minor attributions from the F2F:

Katefate did say the "no downside to cleavage" line.

"I had to sleep with him" was Trudy.

And the one from me - I was misquoted. Please take out the word "always" (the rest is accurate).

ita, in the movies thread, discussing why she's not psyched for the new Superman Returns movie:

He's not supposed to be stupid. But more important, he's not supposed to be emo. And that's what I'm feeling.

DavidS: The Halloweenie will be eligible to joint the D.A.R. as Johan Schmeh fought in the Revolutionary War, reputedly being at Valley Forge that winter. (He was from Maryland so this seems possible.)

JZ: Well, shit. Here I was taking perverse pride in my family being one of the most non-Anglo white families ever, and now I've blown it.

This is the kind of thing you really should tell a girl before you knock her up.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

because it was clever, in Bitches:

Emily: Somebody else make all my decisions for me, okay?

amych: Portland it is. Also, the black pants tomorrow, and tuna sandwich for lunch.

Perkins: No. San Francisco, and the blue skirt, plus a nice chicken sandwich.

I'm getting the pig!

Pete in F2F:

Excuse me Sir, but my bollocks remain on constant alert for collisions and chance feel-ups.
