To which I have to include this final comment, from ita, upon successfully closing the thread:
ita: ::gives thread the stinkeye::
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
In Natter, on bus travel and the need for personal space:
aurelia: The guys with their legs spread wide are really leaving themselves vulnerable to a move that'd make them involuntarily pull their knees together. IJS
ita: I've taken to quietly telling krav instructors and students who are irritating me "Your groin is open, by the way." It usually is.
Maybe I can extend that to strangers. And then if they talk back, cockpunch.
Matt the Bruins fan: Is getting more space really worth being booked on assault & battery charges?
ita: Some days, definitely.

Dear Asshole Customer at Walgreens,
When trying to determine who's next in line, please give a person more than two seconds to get around a giant leaking display case in front of the registers before you spazz out, huff to the back of the line of one, and snap, "Fine, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU MAKE UP YOUR MINDS."
To which I responded with a stoner-lack-of-caffeine drawl, "Dude, way to be rude and impatient. Sorry for that thirty seconds of your life that you'll never get back."
Seriously, UNCLENCH,
shrift

Woooo nonfic's first COMM! Baby's growing up.

COMMed from Literary Buffistas on account of my actually spitting on my monitor (in this case, partially chewed popcorn, not coffee.) Slightly edited for humor.
PC: ...I thought I mostly understood cyberpunk. Well, probably not, as I think it mostly involves computers and robots and a general punkish attitude. Whereas steampunk is more the same sensibility as cyberpunk, except the computers are made of string and toast.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I hope your monitor's okay, Laga. Sorry about that.

In fact I think masticated popcorn is easier to clean up than coffee. None of it got in the keyboard!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That reminded me to put up the earlier Literary exchange that made me laugh out loud.
Hec: 9/11 in its planning, execution and politics seemed like it came straight out of a Bruce Sterling novel to me.
Raq: I agree, and this is another reason why we should get those evil-doers. No one deserves Bruce Sterling! No one!

Cass:
Okay, Juan Pablo Montoya just won his first NASCAR race. A Columbian national, Indy 500 winner, Formula One world champion just won a NASCAR race.
I am so glad I kept watching this. Way better than a nap.
juliana:
I am sorry, but the surname Montoya is forever ruined for me.
"Hallo, my name is Juan Pablo Montoya. You have my trophy. Prepare to race."
