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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I suppose a title like "Coffee on my Monitor" might imply that the quotes all have to be supremely (spewingly) humorous, but really the topic is for any worthy quote or quoteable volley, humorous, insightful, poignant or whatev', just so long as it impresses the quoter enough to make him or her feel immortalization is deserved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is even happening?
Erin: I hope Deb becomes rich like a rich thing! I want her to bathe in tasty champagne and have Evian and white truffle pedicures!
(But mostly I want her to become rich, cause we have the same shoe size, and she'll say "Dahhhlink, of course you can wear those cunning Jimmy Choo's! They're so old -- I've had them a month! Here, borrow these simple little 4 carat emerald earrings, I'm wearing the Kashmir sapphires tonight." She will say this as we fly on her dashing little jet to her villa for Tired, Porny Teachers in Tuscany. Where I will promptly seduce the handsome artist living in the cottage down the road, drink all her vintage Amarone, and squash the grape harvest using my La Perla clad breasts.)
SailAweigh: ::tags along on Erin's foamy, foamy coattails::
Erin: I figure I won't be an entirely unuseful golddigger. She can get me drunk, strip me naked, roll me in duck tape, and use me as a ginormous, giggly Swiffer for her legion of scrawny, street-smart Italian kitties.
erika: wow...fur in new places.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Cindy beat me to it, mostly because I pulled something laughing.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Fun with Slang, in F2F:
megan walker: I've been slashed!
DavidS: With Batgirl? Or a serrated knife?
tommyrot: Batgirl, with the serrated knife in the drawing room.
Or maybe the candlestick....
Matt the Bruins Fan: That's not a candlestick...

Raq in Bitches:
I just had an amusing discussion with the DH. To summarize:
Me: "I've read some Harry Potter fanfic that was better than Rowling's last few books."
DH: @@. "And isn't it all Harry-on-Draco action anyway?"
Me: (superior) "Fanfic doesn't have to be slash."
DH: "I just think it's a waste of time and talent."
Me: "Dude. You write D&D adventures."
DH: "..."
DH: "No fair holding a mirror up."

What is even happening?
Hec: Emmett's team lost a heartbreaker.
They were winning going into the bottom of the last inning. The other team had a runner at second with two outs.
The pitcher got a comebacker, but instead of throwing to first to get the easy force, win the game and go to the finals, instead threw to third where they didn't get the out, and the other team went on to win.
Translated into Fannish: Pippin manages to get the One Ring away from Gollum at the very crack of Mount Doom, breathes a sigh of relief and absent-mindedly hands it to a nearby Orc.
Emmett, however, went 3-3 with a walk.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

From GWW, a Spinal Tap moment, after Jilli confesses to some feelings of insecurity about getting her sample chapters off to her agent on time:
Typo Boy: A sustainability expert contracted to a publishing house is checking my book for validity RIGHT NOW. And I sent this out confident that I got every detail right. Guess how much of that confidence is left right now while I'm waiting for the verdict.
