Polter-Cow: I have no interest in consuming the Fernet. I only like the effect it has on the women around me.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

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

What is even happening?
Sue:
[Quotes The Globe and Mail] The question is quite simple: Do we like short hair on women? And the answer is quite predictable: No, we do not. It seems masculine and practical and deliberately asexual. We like the conventionally feminine. Sorry. We can't help this. And there's no sense in lying about it.

Dear Editors of The Globe and Mail,
Do we like predictable, sexist columnists? No, we don't. It seems awfully lazy to take a personal preference, stick in a few hot-button gender issues and then toss off a few dazzling female celebrities who can manage to break the stereotype while staying in this asshole's spank bank.
I'd write more but I'm off to get a pixie cut at my stylist's.
Sincerely,
Me

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Sean:
How can we possibly know that the rueben on dark rye with corned beef rather than pastrami, sauerkraut rather than coleslaw, and thousand island rather than Russian dressing, is the version that came first? We can't. It's ineffable. All we are left with then is one sandwich with many forms. How can we Earthly beings then say this sandwich is one of the forms, but this other is not? That is only for the One True Sandwich to know, if such a Rueben even exists.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
This just needs to be immortalized...

ETA: oh, if it sounds crazy that I'm getting all emotional about an umbrella in reaction to a post about a fire extinguisher, that's because I'm totally drunk.
edited to correct attribution; actually part of what made it so funny to me was I couldn't even imagine billytea (my incorrect attribution) saying he was "totally drunk."

Aimee in Bitches:
BT, if you're about, there was a brief conversation about you today in our house.
Me: Oooh! Billytea is going to be here this month!
MM: Really? When?
Me: End of the month I think. We get to meet the Wallabee!
MM: How long has he had a wallaby?
Me: Oh, I think about a year. I lose track of time. He got her in Austrailia.
MM: He just go out and get one?
Me: No, I think they met online.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

In Boxed Set, about Eureka:
Jessica: why would being paranoid about aliens make you create a crop circle?
ita: No fucking idea, really.
Vortex: why do you have to be naked while doing it?
ita: Oh, that one I know--because it's fun.
