geek humour! (okay, that pretty much defines the whole thread, but still.)
sumi: Star Trek Fans: A digitally remastered and enhanced version of the original Star Trek series episode "The Doomsday Machine" will debut in syndication on Feb. 10, marking a milestone: It features more than 100 all-new digital visual effects shots, the most of any episode in the original series, CBS Paramount Television announced.
DXMachina: Did they restore the scene where Kirk talks to Jabba the Hut?
Jon B.: Yeah, but now Jabba shoots Kirk first.
From natter. There's more, but this was the gem of an exchange that cracked me up:
ita: However, the fucking tree made fucking noise when it fucking fell. What sort of nonsense question is that.
Sean: But do wave-like vibrations in air count as sound if they do not interact with a living creature's auditory receptors?
ita: First off, this is as likely as the stupid spherical cow. What sort of ecosystem is that? Accepting as posited, I'm okay with light existing where no one can see it, and the same goes for smells unsmelt and tastes untasted. What makes sound so special? It's just vibrations in a medium. Exists whether it's perceived or not.
Sean: I think you're now officially the least existential person ever.
COMM x-post! Frank, P-C beat you to that very exchange.

Huh. Not sure how I missed it before.
(I lurk, therefore I am.)
Ailleann, in Boxed Set:
IOBSGN: I just discovered we have a teacher here named Kara Lee. I feel the need to call her up, to see if I end up not caring about her love life either.
Aimée, in Bitches, suggesting a name for NoiseDesign's website:

In Good Riddance:
quester: 48 days since xmas...
Zenkitty: 317 days til Christmas!
quester: I hate you glass-is-half-full people.
Zenkitty: Hee. Optimism is more fun when you can torment other people with it.
In Movies - risking the possible spoileriness...:
sumi: Ian McShane has been cast as Merriman in the movie of The Dark is Rising.
Oh well.
Dana: But...Ian McShane is awesome.
Or are you afraid it'll become, "The Dark is Rising, Cocksucker"?
In Minearverse:
amych:
edit: totally wrong thread.
Allyson:
I hate it when that happens. I almost posted some question about my period in Tech, once.
ita:
28 days, Allyson.
tommyrot:
Try rebooting.
