John H: So, while you're on a roll, how long before the whole planet disappears? Pretending for a second that the planet is all rainforest.
Hil: 4000 years.
John H: So, still time for a Mufuletta or two then?
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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
Alibelle: When I was little I had a tremendous paranoia that I was using counterfeit money and I was going to get in trouble, and I was so worried about it because I could never tell if someone was giving me real or counterfeit money. And so I was doomed to end up in jail.
Jesse: Snerk, Ali. It's funny what little kids come up with. I had a whole thing about how, if I got hit by a car in the crosswalk, the driver had to pay for everything, but if I wasn't in the crosswalk, I'd have to pay. So when I'd jaywalk (Somervillians -- across Elm Street, between Star Market and Beech St), I'd have all these elaborate plans to drag my bloody self into the crosswalk, so it wouldn't be my fault!
Heather Alayne: When I was little I thought you could get money from Mc Donald's. I hadn't quite mastered the concept of change.

RL, I just like that ita added Firefly. I'm feeling really protective of it, and although it's not a typically funny COMM - the COMM description also says quotes and tags that deserve immortalisation. I can delete it if it is a problem.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Having never seen Firefly, I read it as if you were questioning whether Firefly could be discussed "with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness."
Probably just my strange brain.

Elena, in Firefly:
I love this show. I love this show like I love my family. I love this show like I love my country. Hell, I love this show like I love Aragorn.
parenthetical addendum that this is red-blooded Canadian love of country.

It's not being able to write that makes great writers, it's being able to re-write.

Oh, I get it. I fiercely love Firefly too now-- I just hadn't realized it wasn't there before.

Ya know, accusing people of being witches just because they're different is bad. Not allowing young women to learn their letters is bad. Turns out there's not a lot of yucks to be had in small pox, either, and not even a trace of the funny syphillis around to lighten the mood...

Thrive to spite them
From Due South (there was a discussion about Free Willie the movie::
FayJay:
Is *willy* in as common usage Stateside, then? 'Cause in the UK, it's as common as 'cock' or 'dick', only without the same degree of offensiveness. I've always assumed it must be less familiar in the US, because the sheer visceral rudeness of calling one's shaggadelic president Slick Willy seems so...er...rude.
Ellen S.:
I think willy is more of a children's version of 'dick' and equally inoffensive/used as a nickname. 'Free Willy' makes me think of a chorus line of exhibitionists with open raincoats waving their appendages, singing "Born Freeeeeee, free as the......."
