I can't believe more of this conversation in Natter didn't get COMM'd:

As if the fact that the spinach I was planning on having for dinner might try to kill me gruesomely weren't enough , must it now have a nonswedish sex life?!
I think I may be ordering pizza.

BBC News has this:
Tanks have taken up position around the Thai government headquarters in Bangkok blocking traffic, eyewitnesses have told Reuters news agency.
An army-owned TV station has altered its programming to broadcast images of the royal family and songs associated in the past with military coups.
The second paragraph makes me laugh... "It's that old military coup favorite, 'Let's Throw Out The Democratically Elected Government'!"
Fay, talking about her role in World Events, from Beep Me:
So we had a Coup D'Etat.
And the finish is even better:
so I reckon it's going to be fine. So, er, don't freak out.
If you're gonna include those, you need this too:
Yesterday there was no school, because of the revolution
shrift is going to kick our asses. Here's the whole post.
Fay: So we had a Coup D'Etat.
But so far, everything's okay. Yesterday there was no school, because of the revolution, but today we're back at work and it seems to be pretty calm and the king supports the new guys, and EVERYONE adores the king, so I reckon it's going to be fine. So, er, don't freak out.
Matt the Bruins fan:
I theoretically love the idea of a film about ace pilots in the Great War, but from the look of the trailer, with planes flying through exploding zeppelins and all, I'm afraid they're going to feature Manfred von Richthofen as a famous German ace before America even officially entered the war, and have James Franco's non-Australian character be the one who kills him against all odds after a heroic hours-long dogfight. By jumping into his plane in midair and punching him to death.
Fay, reflecting on her classmates at university:
I was at university with the current Maximilian Von Hapsburg. Whose chosen area of study was...the Hapsburg empire. And yes, he did have The Chin. How his tutors had the nerve to mark his essays I really don't know...I mean, dude, it's his great uncle whojamaflip. How you going to argue with that kind of citation?
In Natter:
Tom Scola:
A coworker just walked by and complained that it smells like death near my cube.
Lee:
See, I would have just wanted to tell him. "Yes, it is death. Better flee while you can, and not come back."
There's a slight chance I'm anti-social, isn't there?
Frankenbuddha:
Nah, but then again I'd have said somehthing along the lines of "Thanks, I'll make sure to hide the next body somewhere else" and given a Wednesday Addams smile.
