Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

We have to include Frank's filk in response, because it nearly killed me:

Boys and girls of every age
are you feeling something strange
Come with us and you will see,
this is your time of Puberty
This is Puberty, this is Puberty,
disturbing dreams in the dead of night
This is Puberty, everybody gets acne,
sulk or scream till your parents are too tired to fight

And Aimee's addition:

What’s this? What’s this?
I’m growing lots of hair!
What’s this? There’s acne everywhere!
What’s this? My hormones are all raging
and my breasts are so engaging
My face I feel it aging
Fuck it isn’t fair!
What’s this?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Damn, Kristin, could you add an "is" in between "this" and "your". I'm going to edit my original.

Also, since Kristin was too modest to add her own addition:

There are pre-teens hitting puberty
instead of hitting balls,
They're busy doing make-up,
and cruising through the malls,
There's stubble on every boy now
Oh I can't believe my eyes,
They can feel it in their boners,
Even though they're mini sized...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Things are getting desperate in Shrift's office:

Printer still spewing. Paper so hot in the tray it burns my fingers. Toner beginning to fail.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

In Natter:

Cashmere: Aren't all chaps assless? Otherwise, wouldn't they be pants?

Jesse: I think you only call chaps "assless" when there are no jeans under them.

Cashmere: Of course, in that case, there is ASS! The term is verra misleading.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

In Bitches, on the word "problematized":

Gloomcookie

What a great Friday! I just got this feedback on a presentation I did in class (appropriately enough on tagging, blogs, wikis, and participation inequality [thanks, Jessica!]):

Looking at my notes, you did very well. You brought in outside readings, engaged the readings, problematized the topic, and provided good analysis. We don't have hard-coded grades yet, but based on my notes, you received high marks.

ChiKat

Is this a real word??
vw bug
Yup.

From Websters: To propose problems.

It's no woobify.

Woobify is a perfectly fine word. Problematized hurts my head.

Ginger

So is "solutionatize" a word?

Steph L.

Sounds perfectly cromulent to me.

Polter-Cow

If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the precipitatizing.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

He has socks and underpants?

What the hell else is there to do? Are you knitting him a bike?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

ita: It's possible I shouldn't see documentaries recommended by vegans.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Teppy, in Bitches:

I just answered a question about Catholic paraphernalia, and then a pony play question.

There's something so deeply wrong about that.

And so wonderfully right.

Now tagless for your comfort.

From Natter: Don't let a question go unasked--especially when shrift and coffee are involved.

shrift:

Now I have coffee in my eye.

Steph:

....how?

shrift:

A rogue droplet of coffee forced itself out of the tiny little airhole in the lid and vengefully flung itself into my eye, howling, "FREEEEEEEEDOM!"
